How many days before a pup pees outside?
I brought my 3 month old Italian Greyhound pup home 3 days ago. I took him out 2 days ago first thing in the morning and a couple of other times of the day but he wanted to be carried most of the time. Understandable as he was taking everything in with so much more sensory processing happening. He then did his business each time on a puppy pad when we got home.
Yesterday he peed shortly after we woke up indoors while I was preparing his breakfast, as I thought he was holding on til after it, but nope. Lesson learnt 🙈 So once he ate breakfast take I waited 20 mins and took him out so he’d poop but he wasn’t up for that. We were outside an hour and then we came home. 833
As soon as we got in, he went to the puppy pad and did a huge poop he’d saved. We tried a couple of other times yesterday and the same situation. The great thing yesterday was seeing him more confident and on the ground for most of our time out and him leading the way too instead of needing to be encouraged forward.
This morning we went out as soon as we woke but he wasn’t keen for it today, even though it was warmer. I didn’t want to force him to stay out longer and he wanted me to pick him up as he’d had enough so after 30-45 mins we came back home. And he peed straight away on the puppy pad.
He then had his breakfast and a play and now he’s snoozing on my lap.
I know all dogs are different and he’s taking in a lot of stuff right now, especially outside. At home he’s incredible and has settled right in. Not even any crying during the night when I zip up his “bedroom” at the side of my bed.
So I’m wondering how many days in your experience has it taken a pup to learn to go outside instead of inside on a pad?
Any other tips you have I would be greatly appreciative of. 833
