Hi. Please accept my apologies for any stupid question. I am trying to understand how having a puppy/dog works.
I know that differs from dog to dog and from puppy to puppy but please share your personal experience with your Poodle and the Day and Night potty routine (puppy and dog).
I live in an apartment. During the day it would be easier to take my puppy/dog outside. Plenty of parks around me, a lot of dogs for socializing as well. During the night, with still some day-light, before going to bed again we can go around to some parks.
What about when is dark outside? I don't feel very secure to go out when is dark, walking around with my dog/puppy. Feel a bit weird.
1. Do you think I can take my dog to potty in a spot in the toilet (having a potty pad)?
2. Can I train my dog to go to that spot in the toilet by himself once he grows up?
3a. I have a balcony, super safe, feels like a yard with flowers and grass but unfortunately, I cannot leave the door open during day or night. During the dark night, when is a puppy, I can take my puppy to potty outside in a spot in the balcony instead of going in a park or in the streets which feels a bit dangerous for me. Will this be ok for a puppy?
3b. But when my puppy grows up, will be ok to continue taking him out in the balcony during the dark night instead of going around in the middle of the night?
4. Until what age the puppy cannot hold urine? When the 'waking up during the night to potty' will stop?
Thanks:2in1:
