In general, the number of hours puppies can hold their urine is equal to their age (in months) plus one. So, a 2-month-old puppy can theoretically hold her bladder for about three hours. Puppy Bladder Control Chart Age Frequency of Potty Breaks 2 months old Every 2–3 hours 3 months old Every 3–4 hours 4 months old Every 4–5 hours. When you first bring home a puppy, usually at around 8 weeks old, take her out every 30–60 minutes for the first week or two. Don’t Leave Her for Long When you first start to leave your puppy alone, do not leave her for longer than 30 minutes at a time. By the time your puppy is 4-6 months old, she should have full control of her bladder. Once your puppy has bladder control, she should still go out several times a day for bathroom breaks. If your puppy continues to have accidents in the house despite your training efforts, consult your veterinarian, as there can be medical reasons for this.

A 3 month old puppy should be able to hold their pee for 3 hours.
At this age, you can begin following the general rule of one hour per month of life.
After three months of age, you can apply the general rule that most puppies can hold their pee one hour per month of life.
8 to 10 weeks old: You can expect your puppy to need to pee every hour, possibly less.
Don’t push your puppy beyond this, as he’ll likely soil his crate which can create a host of other problems.
3 to 4 months old: At this age, you can begin following the general rule of one hour per month of life.
A puppy's biological development is essential in figuring out when they need to pee and what signs they exhibit.
Remember that your puppy is as unique from other dogs as you are from other people.
Breed, temperament, individual development, activity levels and schedules can also affect how long your puppy can hold its pee.
