However, they are typically adopted by their foster parents who have cared for them during the reunification process. At Summit County Children Services, you must become a foster parent if you want to adopt.
And when I ask how long they've had the puppy, it's usually a short time like 3 or 4 days or maybe two weeks. It takes longer than two weeks (generally) to fully potty train a puppy. (Some do catch on much faster.) It's very simple to potty train a puppy, but that doesn't mean it's easy.
Therefore, a 12-week-old puppy can wait four hours between potty breaks, while a 16-week-old pup can wait up to five hours. Prior to this time, you pooch should be eliminating indoors in an area separate from where he plays, sleeps and eats. This creates an aversion to sitting in his own excrement later in life.
