New puppy potty training issues
We just got our 10-week-old lab Blaze, and have had him at home for 1-week now.
I would love to know when I can expect him to stop peeing/pooing in the house (We are very diligent about the potty training following all the expert's rules)
What we are doing:
- Dedicated outdoor defecation area
- Rewarded with treat after peeing/pooing outside
- Consistently taking him out.
- Ring a bell when it's potty time
- Limiting water intake
- Strict routine/schedule
- Being crate trained too

Generally it takes 4-6 months for them to be fully house trained but some dogs may take much longer. Consistency and rewards / praise are key in being successful.

Each puppy is different so the time for them to be properly potty trained will differ. Here is a resource you can look into for some extra tips https://edc.trainpetdog.com/view-files/?fid=302 Do you only limit water intake at night? If it is during the day I would suggest not doing that because dogs need plenty of water to keep going.
