I have a small breed puppy thats 12 weeks old. When can I expect her to go outside without me?

If I just let her out the door to "do her thing", she just stands by the door and cries. I have left her outside for 10 minutes with me out of her sight and she didnt leave the door. I want her to go potty by herself then come back to the door. What age can I expect this. Somebody please tell me this will happen before the snow comes!
Answers:
I don't understand, you mean, out on the backyard? If yes, you can do it right now. If she cries, it means that she likes company, which is fine. Now, if you don't want to accompany her, that's a different story.
Good luck and don't worry:she will do her thing by herself.
ok they dont know nothing because they are only growing up. i would say that the time of age that she would go potty is when shes 1and half.you also have to train her to do that!
never leave your small breed puppy outside unnattended,, cripes,, hawks have been even known to swoop down and get them, owls too.twelve week old pup needs to be taken out on a leash to pee and poop,, SO YOU CAN PRAISE HER... say go potty or some word,,,, then,, when she is older you can say "go out a go potty" then you can open the door and let her go out,, she will understand ,, because you have trained her what that means... so put the leash on and get training..
If you got a puppy, you got it to have near you. It is dangerous to let a small bread puppy outside by itself in the first place. In the second place i wouldn't leave it by itself until it learns to stay in the yard and off the roads. Take care of her and love her till it hurts. I would.
You need to take the pup out on a leash and when she does her duties praise her for it tell her good puppy, Please do not leave the dog outside by itself there are birds of prey that can attack her and even kill her if you do let her out by herself later on keep a watchful eye on her..But a pup is still in training give her some time it will come and when u say go outside or gotta go potty she'll run to the door just remember to praise her and reward her with a treat, Dog breeder for the blind for 13 years..
She is way way too young to be left outside alone. Any small breed, any dog in general needs to be supervised outside.
Small dog especially because they can be carried away by hawks, owls or other animals.
Even though you may have a fenced in yard people still steal dogs. I know people who have had their dogs stollen from their back yard. So that is why I suggest supervision at all times while outside.
