Technically, it's never too late to housebreak a puppy (or dog). You can housebreak a 6-year-old dog, but it is going to be harder than housebreaking a younger puppy, because the habit of relieving himself whenever is less ingrained. Until puppies are 12 weeks old, they are not physically capable of "holding it" (until then, watch them carefully and take them outside/to their papers whenever they have to go; put them in a crate when you can't supervise them), but housebreaking should begin as soon as you bring your dog home. To do it, simply reward when he (I'm using the masculine here, but the training process is the same for females) relieves himself outside and ignore when he doesn't: punishment is pointless. Hope this helps!

When is it to late to have a poodle's tail bobbed and dewclaws removed?
It is best to have all this done at a very young age, like around day 2. But It is never too late to remove dewclaws. But personaly, I have a puppy with dew claws and I do not want to take them out. But if your puppy will be digging, going through bushes, climbing or any other activities that could rip off their dew claws, then it would be beter to remove them. ( but they would be in pain when you do ) After day 2 it is too late to dock your dogs tail.

Is 11 weeks old too late to change a puppies home?
No, most likely, you got your puppy around 7 or 8 wks. If you got your puppy earlier than that, you really should not have, because it is too early to be taken away from it's mother. But if your puppy is only 11 wks, it probably has not been with you that long, or really devolped a special bond, so it should transistion into a new home smoothley. Good luck finding your puppy a new home!
