Puppies are only ever obeying nature, they simply don't yet know where they're supposed to go, which is where consistent toilet training comes in. The whole approach comes down to three simple rules: Praise your puppy the moment they toilet in the right spot with tasty treats and consistent cues. Provide plenty of opportunities - young puppies need toilet breaks every twenty to thirty minutes. Prevent accidents by watching closely, restricting space, and learning early signs. Avoid showing frustration with accidents as this can backfire. For night-time, expect puppies to hold their bladder roughly one hour per month of age while awake, and around four hours overnight while asleep.
