10-Week Puppy Potty Schedule

Updated September 2026

By 10 weeks, most puppies can stretch daytime breaks slightly, though the core triggers — waking, eating, and play — still apply.

Daytime Frequency

Aim for a break roughly every 90 minutes, plus after every nap, meal, and energetic play session.

What's Improving

You may notice fewer accidents between scheduled breaks and your puppy starting to head toward the door or potty spot on their own — reinforce this with praise every time.

Overnight

Most 10-week pups still need one nighttime break, typically 4–5 hours after bedtime.
