Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Female | spayed | 1 month and 21 days old | 35 lbs
My 7 week old mini goldendoodle puppy seems to be peeing rather suddenly throughout the day. I’m concerned she may not be able to hold it during the day when I return to work. I have taken some time off to help her adjust. Is there anything I can do to make sure she stays hydrated, but also keep her from needing to empty her bladder as frequently? I leave for work at 8:15am and return around 4:15pm, so she has a while to go without pottying. Is there a feeding schedule that may work best?

She is young to be trained but the best thing to do is keep her in a kennel while you are gone. Make sure she does not have enough room to owe and lay down somewhere else or she will. While at home feed her twice a day. Try about an hour before you leave so she can eat then go to the bathroom before you leave. Feed her at least 2 hours before bed. Make sure you take her out regularly while you are home so she understands concepts.
