class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs can only be relied on to hold their urine or feces one hour for every month old they are, until 8 hours at 8 months old. \u2026 Dogs can go for 8 to 10 hours without urinating overnight, while sleeping. However, all dogs need to be taken out after a meal or a drink, upon waking up and after a period of play.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-can-a-puppy-hold-its-poop-at-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_can_a_puppy_hold_its_poop_at_night\"><\/span>How long can a puppy hold its poop at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How long can a dog hold its poop? Most healthy adult dogs can hold their poop and pee for 8 hours if they absolutely have to. Experts believe puppies can hold their poop for one hour for every month in age they are. This limit appears to level out ay 8 months of age, meaning 8 hours holding of poop at a maximum.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-puppies-need-to-poop-at-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_puppies_need_to_poop_at_night\"><\/span>Do puppies need to poop at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Luckily for humans, dogs and puppies don\u2019t need to pee as often at night, so you don\u2019t need to wake up every hour for a bathroom break. But you will want to follow a modified version of the usual housetraining routine. Try this plan for getting your dog \u2014 and you \u2014 through the night.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_what_age_can_a_puppy_hold_it_all_night\"><\/span>At what age can a puppy hold it all night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most puppies will sleep through the night by the time they\u2019re about 4 months (16 weeks) old. But with some help, diligence, and proactive training, you may be able to get your puppy there even earlier!
