A 9-week-old puppy typically cannot go all night without peeing. Their bladders are still developing, and they usually need to go out every 2-3 hours. To avoid accidents, it’s vital to establish a consistent nighttime routine that includes a potty break before bed. Gradually, as the puppy grows, it will be able to hold its bladder longer. Patience and regular potty breaks are essential during these early stages of house training.
