| Bathroom Hi! It's my first post on here. We just got our 13 week old yorkie I've been reading that it is normal for puppies to need to use the bathroom around 15 minutes after eating. We are doing free eating right now because of his size. However, after he has had a big portion of his food, he does not poop for hours afterward. Is this normal? Thanks |

| Its taken me a little while to figure out Sunni's potty schedule. I think its totally different for all of them. I've seen some excellent advice here about tethering your puppy to you until you learn the signs that he/she needs to go. Mine does a little circle and I know its…lets go out time!! Its hard to catch it at first, but I just pick her right up and out we go. She's good now. I have pad and outside trained her, so if I need to hurry her up we go right to the pad. Sometimes I have to keep putting her back on it and hold her back, but she's got the message now….progress not perfection Oh yes…my girl is totally treat motivated. I keep them in my pockets now, so when she does what she's supposed to, she gets a treat and tons of praise. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | All dogs are a bit different. Most puppies' GI systems will be stimulated by eating itself, which is why they often poo not long after. Your baby might just have different timing here.

| I thought my Winnie was weird because she would poo a few hours after eating too. My other dogs eat and then poo quickly afterward. I just figure thats her normal. She's 4 months old. I wouldn't worry. |

| Dinky pees almost immediately after he eats. He almost always has to pee after waking up from a nap. Poo time is usually in the morning before he eats. Good luck! |

| Thanks so much for all the input! I hoping once he gets adjusted a bit more he will get on mor of a routine. Any thoughts on him being able to hold it overnight already? Everywhere I've looked 3 month olds should only be able to hold their pee for 3-4 hours. Should I just be happy he's not up all night? Thanks! |
