Thanks for posting the tally. I saw another article that said an 8-week old puppy should pee once every three hours and started worrying that maybe my 8-week-old collie has a UTI. I’m glad to know that she probably doesn’t.

This schedule is spot on to our new Basset pup (8weeks old), I was worried thinking she had a UTI, went to Vet for her shots, had a fecal and health check, she is perfectly healthy.
Thank you for this article, I was going to print it out and give it to my cousin, who will be dogsitting while we are on vacation on next month.

Hi, I have a 14-week golden retriever puppy and he was peeing 25-30 times a day so we run several tests and the vet told me that the results do not show an infection, diabetes or kidney problems. During the last few days he pees 15 times a day which is still a lot according to the vet. Is it normal? could this be a behavioral issue related to house-training? We are going to run more tests to make sure he does not have a rare disease

HI! My new puppy is 12 weeks old and he seems to be peeing constantly but only small little piddles. How do i get him to take bigger pees less frequent?

In reply to M Bowers. My German shepherds poop was mushy and often all 13 years of his life. They have VERY sensitive stomachs and I've heard others say their shepherds have irritable bowel syndrome. What worked for me- meat, rice, veggies cooked in a pressure cooker with chicken or beef broth- not water. Sometimes he would get dry dog food if his poop was extra mushy or if he got diarrhea. Eventually you'll figure out something that works well for yours. Good luck!

Hi–My 8 week old puppy seems to be on the exact same schedule you shared above. When do I start extending the time between potty breaks while playing? Will she just start to exhibit fewer potty cues and naturally go longer than 5-10 minutes between potty breaks over time? It sounds like her urine frequency is normal right now (3-4 potty breaks every hour while awake and playing), but I’m having trouble figuring out when it will stop being normal or slow down.
Thank you!

In reply to Bailey. Your puppy could just be regressing. I take a step back in his training and treat him like you just brought hime home at 10 weeks. Keep an eye on him 100% of the time in the house and take him out any time you see pre-potty activity like circling, sniffing, or squatting. Also, make sure you take him out first thing in the morning, after nap times, after eating, and every 10 minutes if he's playing. Hopefully that helps. Good luck with your training!

I have a 17 week old Frenchie/pug mix. I got him around 10 weeks and after about a month he seemed to be taking to potty training (only a few accidents inside here and there). But now he has started peeing everywhere inside – carpet, tile, his bed, etc. even when I take him outside frequently and consistently. Sometimes he will pee 4-5 times within the hour. His vet ruled out kidney issues or infections. What do I do?? I’m starting to feel like he will never get it.

In reply to HP. Following the puppy potty schedule in the article is definitely helpful when potty training your puppy. If you'r puppy is having accidents in the house you may be giving him too much freedom when he's in the house. We like keeping our puppies on leash by or side when they are young and don't yet understand potty training. As they get older and have a better understanding of potty training as well as a stronger bladder we slowly start giving our puppy more freedom. Hopefully that helps. Good luck with your training!
