Senior Yorkie Talker | Puppy Schedule, help! So I've read puppies need a routine for training them. I'm training her to be indoors on pee pads and she's been pretty good with where she pees, but not where she poos, but i think she's getting the hang of it. I know when we're outdoors she's ok with potting. Do you think she needs a consistent time to eat and play and nap as well?? Do you think her schedule is ok if it changes every 3-4 days? How long do you think sleep time should be at night? I just want to know how much a puppy can handle changing so much...

| I think you should try to keep things as consistent as possible. It really helps with the dog's stress level (they will know what to expect, they like a routine) and it will help you time when the dogs need to do #2 - as this depends on when they are fed. If you can, try to keep feeding and bedtime at consistent times.

| Mine both poo and pee on the Wiz dog (indoor dog potty). Just keep trying, eventually they will understand that's what you want. PS - my girl pup was able to stay in her crate all night for a few weeks - now she cries around 2am to be let out for a pee. A general rule I've heard is that puppies can hold it as many hours as months they are old plus two (ex - 3 month old puppy --> 3 + 2 = 5 hours
