| 10 month old puppies Hi everyone! Gizmo just turned 10 months old today. We're still working on potty training. He's been doing well in his pen without peeing for 7 hours. Today I pushed it to far while I was at work and tried 9 hrs. Does anyone have 10 month old. How are things going with potty training? |

YT Addict | I have two ten month olds. Maggie does well 98% of the time, for Bogey it's about 50/50. He'll use the potty pad if he's in the x-pen but when he's loose he can't be trusted. When he has an "on purpose" Maggie will scold him for me. LOL!

| Mine hold it for 8 hours overnight by the time they are 12 weeks old at the latest. Typically the longest they hold it during the day is 6 hours max. even as adults. Most of the time it is 4 hours. No wee pads for mine ever. My golden could easily do 9 hours but not the yorkies not because they can't but because they won't! If sick the yorkies will potty at the backdoor- Hey they can't open doors! Mine have limited house access for life when someone is not home though. 4 dogs (3 yorkies & 1 golden) + 2 cats = Giant fun mess.

| Hi, my Riley is just eight months and he is toilet trained, if he does need to go while we're at work he will go on his pad. We leave him in the lounge/kitchen, and never has accidents. He doesn't go to toilet in the night, he normally falls asleep around nine, and goes Toliet about half six the ext morning.

| IMO small dogs just need somewhere to go?? I'm not holding it for 9hrs or 7 hrs. Moki is potty trained and will hold it. But if he has to go he will. I had a choice of letting go where he wants or train him to go on a pad. When you gotta go you gotta go. |

YT 2000 Club Member | Teeka is 11 months and been trained since she was 8 months.....she took forever to house train! Now, I have a little girl, Tatiana and she will be 6 months on Friday. She is pad & outside trained and has had no accidents for a month. She was 100 percent trained by 5 months! Sometimes she gets up at night to potty, but most of the time she goes around 9:00 and doesn't wake until 6:15.....so around 8 hours is her limit. I am thinking 8 hours is a long time to wait to potty, even for me!

| Lexi is 8 months and is potty pad trained. She has free run of the kitchen and upstairs while I'm at work. She goes upstairs as soon as I leave and since she can't go back down the stairs, she's up there til I get home. We've had this routine since she was about 4 months old. Anything that's on the floor belongs to her. I close all the bedroom doors except mine and her potty pad is in the master bath. My kids bedrooms are such a mess, if she ever got in there, I'd never find her! She goes to bed about 9 wakes up around 7. Sometimes, I make her go in the middle of the night, but she gets so annoyed when I wake her up for that. I don't do that often, but I just think she'll be more comfortable if she doesn't hold it all night in that tiny little bladder. I don't think she agrees with that, though.

| I don't make my boys hold it except at night. They have access to a potty spot all day wether inside on a pad or outside. |

| I never have left a small dog alone for hours and hours without a pee pad, but then I loathe going outside multiple times a day with a dog so mine is pee pad trained only. She will go outside if we're outside and she needs to tinkle or #2 though. |

| Ok, so he was able to hold it for 8 hrs. in his pen today! Based on what I'm hearing from you all, he might now be able to go much longer than that. We've been trying the pen for a few weeks now. He used to just pee in there automatically...breaking him from pee pad training from when I first got him at 3 months. I figure if he's in the the pen and has to go---that's essentially "going on the pad." I just don't want him to think it's ok to go in the house period. When I take him to other people's houses it's so stressful. But, he's doing good! Thanks for sharing. |

| I don't think anyone one was saying he could hold it longer? He going to pee doesn't matter. He need to be train to be in a certain spot.= pee pad. Moki will hold it for a long time. But if he has to go he will go on the pad. If you are not sure when you are at other ppl house use a belly band to prevent him from peeing in there house. IME they don't get good at potty train till at least two years. Moki is 14 mo but he will pee on command now. They will always pee and poop on a walk. Sometimes they save it for then |

| Just be careful because making a dog hold it for long period of times can lead to other problems like bladder infections. He should have a way to relieve himself every few hours. Which way is your choice |

| Oh my. I wouldn't intentionally have him hold it for 8 hours while you are away. But, I think I may have misunderstood your post. You mentioned going potty when he's in his pen so think he has a potty pad in his pen. I know I would be quite uncomfortable holding it from the time I left for work until I got back home. I could probably do it, but I sure wouldn't want to. I'm thinking you leave a potty pad in his pen when you are at work.
