I just got a new dog and wonder how long she can stay in her kennel before having to go to the bathroom?
Answers:
What age is your dog? Depends on if it is a puppy or full grown. Puppies I would take them out every hour, older dogs, I would say every 2-3 hours. Monitor food intake and water intake. When a puppy eats (or any dog really) take it to the bathroom 20 minutes after. Please don't keep the dog in the kennel all the time though..Good luck!
you should have done the research before you got the dog!
you can google perfect paws or crate training.
have you had her to the vet yet? very important
Once the dog is 3-4 months old they can hold it 8-10 hours.
An adult dog can go eight hours in a kennel, regardless of the size of the dog. A very small puppy needs to go out every couple of hours until it is housebroken and until it's bladder grows and strengthens. Is is a puppy or an adult dog?
It is one hour for each month of age. 2 months =2 hours. 3 months=3 hr, etc
most people say they can stay in there for up to 8 hours without going to the bathroom on themselves. but you should start her out on hour intervals then straight outside.
