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.
Potty training can range from about 3-4 weeks to maybe a month, Depending on the breed, it can vary. An eager to please and intelligent breed such as a lab or collie should pick up on the pattern pretty quickly. Also having a schedule for the puppy to go outside is ideal. Picking up a routine for a puppy is almost as important as having a routine for a baby. Just keep at it! Potty training works best using a crate/kennel. During the day let your puppy roam around, take her out to potty outside several times. At night, put her in the crate and you dont take her out until you know you're ready to take her outside for her morning walk. Wait for her to do #1 and #2 and take her back inside.
