It pretty much lasts until your pup reaches maturity physically, sexually and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: 28px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;\">At what age should a puppy be completely housebroken?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It typically takes 4-6 months for a puppy to be fully house trained, but some puppies may take up to a year. Size can be a predictor. For instance, smaller breeds have smaller bladders and higher metabolisms and require more frequent trips outside.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-is-my-4-month-old-puppy-still-having\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_4_month_old_puppy_still_having_accidents\"><\/span>Why is my 4 month old puppy still having accidents?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Accidents at this age are still pretty normal. Get her outside very often (every 30-60 minutes, after every activity change, after she eats, after she drinks, after she wakes up).
