Well, a little after 2 days it has been in your house. But I would suggest NOT to train them at a very young age, such as, newborn, or 1-5 weeks old. They still need their mom. So I would say about 7 or 8 weeks your puppy should be housebroken.

The above info is so ridiculous That is how long until a puppy can be weaned and taken from it's mother. Housebreaking is a totally different situation and that training should begin the moment you bring them home.

It will take awhile, and each dog is different, it could take up to 6 months to a year to be totally complete and successful. You can consider it reasonably housebroken when it goes w/o going potty inside for at least 2 months w/o accidents.

(FYI-Housebreaking is making sure they no longer pee or poo inside the house)

Answer:

Housebreaking a puppy is something you start doing right away. The time period will vary from puppy to puppy, but you can be successful within a few months. You must be consistent in the process.

They start going within the first 24 hours of being born. Just as in a Human new born baby. Often times you won't see the feces or urine because the mom licks it up and cleans the babies constantly.

They're is no age for a puppy to be taken outside. And yes I will answer the question. Puppies do not have a certain age for outside activity they only need have every shot and even if you do not have all of it's shots you can take it outside and put it on a blanket but make sure it dosent eat any grass nor escape the blanket. the puppy could catch a disease if it touches the grass before all shots try getting fake grass for a practice pee pad. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

6 to 12 weeks every hour so they only pee outside. And never think it's ok to go inside. After that extend to 2 hours and see how they do. Then 3 hours. Around 6-8 months they'll be able to hold it for 4 hours and then 8 hours.

When the dog is getting exercise in an enclosed area or on a leash or in an area that is designated as a leash-free zone. Definitely let the dog out to do his/her business.

They should be pooping every day, what were you expecting? Or are you saying that they aren't housebroken? That isn't a vet problem, it's a training problem, and puppies are likely to have "accidents" for some time.

What is the best way to train my puppy?

The first thing that you should do is spend about 10-15 minutes every day training your puppy. If you train your puppy longer than this allotted time than it may become restless and not respond to training. Second, take the sole responsibility of training your puppy, as it will look to you as the leader, and it will respond better. The first thing that you should teach your puppy, and which will also help its restlessness, is to teach it to sleep in a crate rather than on a dog bed or your own bed with you. This is important because dogs are naturally den animals. Make sure that the crate is smaller when it is just a puppy so that it will not go to the washroom in it, but as it becomes housebroken move the crate to where you sleep.
