DogsLife

Makes a potty (toilet/house-training) schedule for a puppy aged 8 to 52 weeks: how long it can usually hold it, how often to take it out during the day, whether to plan night trips, and a sample day with clock times from wake-up to bedtime. Use when someone asks how often to take a puppy out to pee, for a puppy potty or house-training schedule, or about night-time potty trips. Ask for the puppy's age if it isn't given; convert months to weeks (1 month is about 4.3 weeks). Gives general guidance based on vet and kennel-club sources (VCA, AKC, PetMD), not veterinary advice; not for adult dogs' medical problems such as accidents, diarrhoea or frequent urination.

Works out how much a puppy or young dog (8 weeks to 24 months) typically sleeps per 24 hours, how much of that its night covers given the household's bedtime and wake-up time, how many hours of naps are left for the day, and the typical nap pattern for that age. Use when someone asks how much a puppy should sleep, how many naps it needs, or whether their puppy sleeps too much or too little. Gives typical ranges from vet and kennel-club guidance (Agria, AKC, Zoetis), not veterinary advice; a sudden change in sleep or lethargy is a question for a vet.
