Why is it taking so long to potty train my puppy?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

QUICK TIP: If your puppy is taking longer than expected to get the hang of potty training you may need to take a trip to your vet. It's possible your puppy could have a urinary tract infection (UTI) or other health issues that are slowing her success as a fully potty-trained puppy. 2 янв. 2021 г.


How long does it usually take to potty train a puppy?

It typically takes 4-6 months for a puppy to be fully house trained, but some puppies may take up to a year. Size can be a predictor. For instance, smaller breeds have smaller bladders and higher metabolisms and require more frequent trips outside. Your puppy's previous living conditions are another predictor.

Why is my puppy so hard to potty train?

Medical reasons for potty training problems are too often overlooked. If your pup is only having pee accidents, is peeing with extreme frequency, and/or you see a drastic change in your dog's bathroom habits, your first visit should be to your veterinarian to check for any underlying medical issues.

How can I get my puppy to potty train faster?

Take your puppy outside frequently—at least every two hours—and immediately after they wake up, during and after playing, and after eating or drinking. Pick a bathroom spot outside, and always take your puppy (on a leash) to that spot.
