How long can a 9 month old Maltese puppy hold her pee/poop?
I am potty training my puppy,Annabelle. She is always peeing and pooping in the house so we’re not sure how long she can hold it. We tried multiplying the month of age by the hour but that didn’t work. Also, if she pees outside but doesn’t poop, how long should I wait to take her back outside to poop?
Usually dogs will poop after they eat or excercise. So you should be able to predict fairly easily how often she goes in one day. As for holding her bladder, you need to start training her to control herself until she’s let out. Crate training is a great way to do this. She probably shouldn’t go more than 3-4 hours without being let outside.
