Is it okay to leave a 8 week old puppy alone?

Younger puppies (from 8 weeks old) should only be left for 2 hours on their own initially and then gradually build up the duration. This is for both their physical and mental wellbeing. As soon as your pup arrives in your home, practice leaving them alone for short periods of time.

How do I train my 8 week old puppy to be left alone?

If your puppy is already accustomed to their crate, start to introduce “alone time” in their crate while you are still in the home. The easiest time to practice this is at their nap time. Put their crate in another room of your home with less activity, and encourage them to relax.

Can I leave a 9 week old puppy alone for 3 hours?

10-12 weeks: Bladder capacity is increasing, but 2 hours is still the longest that most puppies can hold it at this stage. 3-6 months: At this point, consider the 1 hour per month rule. 3 month old puppies can wait for 3 hours, 4 month old puppies for 4 hours, and so on.

At what age can a puppy be left alone during the day?

From 3-6 months, they should not be left longer than their age in months (for example, 3-month-old puppies cannot be alone for longer than 3 hours). If possible, dogs older than 6 months should not be left alone for longer than 4 hours at a time.
