Aside from short potty breaks, avoid setting your puppy on the ground in your backyard or outside your home until they are about 16 weeks old. Be especially cautious if other pets or animals have access to your yard because young puppies are susceptible to contracting illnesses.

When to Begin House Training Puppy

Experts recommend that you begin house training your puppy when they are between 12 weeks and 16 weeks old. At that point, they have enough control of their bladder and bowel movements to learn to hold it.

Generally speaking, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age.

So if your puppy is two months old, they can hold it for about two hours.
