How to use the schedule
Go to the same spot every time, say your cue word only while your puppy is going, and reward within 3 seconds of finishing. Between breaks, keep your puppy in sight or in a crate or pen. Most accidents happen in the minutes nobody is watching.
Questions owners ask
What is a good potty schedule for a puppy?
Out right after waking, 10 to 15 minutes after each meal or play session, right before the crate, and at regular gaps by age: about every hour at 8 to 11 weeks, every 2 hours at 3 to 4 months, every 3 hours at 4 to 6 months.
Should I take the water bowl away at night?
Pick it up about 2.5 hours before bedtime and offer water freely during the day. Never restrict water in hot weather or if your vet advises otherwise.
