Just got a puppy, how long do i have to wait before i can take her out again?

Question

I just got a new 10 week old puppy, and I don't exactly know how long I should wait until I take her out again. Help?

Answer 1

You should take her out every 2 - 3 hours. Let her out after every meal. Make sure to limit her food and water intake at night. You can give her an ice cube or two if you feel she may be thirsty. Be sure to let her out right before bed time. If you are crate training her, puppies should not be left in a crate no more than 4 hours. You can increase the time as she gets older. ☺

Answer 2

There is a general rule of thumb to help you figure out when is the best time to take your puppy out. Generally, a puppy is able to hold its bladder for a length of time in hours equivalent to its age in months plus an hour. So a 10 week old puppy, just over 2 months, should be able to hold its bladder for 2-3 hours. Keep in mind that smaller breeds will have smaller bladders as a pup and may need to be let out more often. Additionally, pups should be let outside before and after they wake up, after feeding and after playtime. Puppies make obvious signs when they are about to go - they will circle around sniffing the ground. Once you see your pup doing this, take it outside. If you do catch your puppy in the act, correct the problem (eg. say no in a gruff tone and take her outside). If the accident has already occurred, don't punish the pup because they won't remember or understand what you're referring to.

Answer 3

The immunity that a puppy has at birth begins to diminish sometime between 6 and 12 weeks. The puppy is the most suspectible to fatal diseases between 8 and 12 weeks of age so I would highly recommend that you keep her in your yard only until her 3rd set of shots. Remember that the puppy can get these diseases anywhere in infected dog has used the bathroom and in some cases 'just been there"

Answer 4

You can bring her out but It is best that the puppy not be in contact with another dog or dog feces (which are outside on the ground). This is just a precautionary measure. You have to bring your dog to the Vet to get his/her vaccinations. Being it is a puppy the Vet will check the pups ears for ear mites, etc. More than likely he/she is healthy and the Vet will tell you when to bring the pup in for regular check-ups. Enjoy your new puppy!!

Answer 5

At ten weeks your puppy should have had 2 vaccines already (if your breeder is doing their job). You could paper train until you talk with your vet about this. Your vet will tell you what is best. As for me, I let my puppies out on the ground after the 3rd vaccine--I am super cautious.

Answer 6

Take her out where? I wouldn't take her to any dog parks or Petsmarts until after she had all her shots, but if you mean taking her outside - go ahead - take her out in the fresh air in your yard. Have fun with her she's a puppy.

Answer 7

Wait until she has all of her shots. Get her used to your own yard. Since the puppy is little stay outside with her and watch her so she doesn't get into anything.

Answer 8

we got a puppy recently too, and to house break her we took her out every 45 minutes or so. it also depends on how often they drink and how big a bladder they have. but dont let her drink within an hour and a half of putting her to bed.

Answer 9

Always take her or him out immediately after waking up.And as far as taking out...I would say watch for signs of sniffing and try to take out every hour or use a crate to train them.With a crate or kennel they will go in it at first but they will eventually stop because they do not like to potty in their sleeping areas.

Answer 10

2-4 weeks. i admire 4 weeks because of the fact facilitates you to start up at 8 weeks and circulate until eventually they're sixteen weeks with 3 photos. At sixteen weeks the proportion of canines receptive to the vaccines is particularly intense.
