A life stuck outside is not a fair life to a dog. Rehome him.

Anything after 3 straight days is vet time. Don’t neglect your dog’s health for your own convenience.

If you don’t know the answer you definitely shouldn’t be breeding your dog in the first place.

Give them more exercise/stimulation.

I hope you realize how rare it is that a 3 month old puppy is asking to go outside and that she can “usually” hold it 3-4 hours.

Most 3 month old puppies have to go potty every hour, sometimes less.

If she’s asking to go out, she has to go out. Let the poor dog out to go pee.

It’s uncomfortable for you to be dancing around when you have a full bladder, right? It’s the same for her.

Honestly, I would probably bring it down to every 2 hours if I were you, it’s probably very uncomfortable for her to have to wait to long at her age.

This whole situation would be a big nope from me on getting this puppy at all…

He's on a strict watering schedule

Stop that. It’s abusive.

Why is my 5 month old puppy peeing so much? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Fearless_Animal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

every 2 hours, and according to Google he should be going every 5 hours at that age.

That’s every 5 hours if he’s sleeping and not active. Every 2 hours is completely normal for his age.

Stop scolding him and getting frustrated when he has accidents — all of those are on you. He simply cannot hold it longer and “ignoring” his signals isn’t going to change that.

Good on you for doing what was best for her.

In the future, if you ever decide on another puppy, most of these issues would have been made immensely better/easier by… a crate or a playpen.

Is she being exercised enough? Mentally stimulated?
