Why is it taking so long for her to go?

[queenie521]

My husband and I just got a puppy last week. She is 11 weeks old.
Everything I read says that the puppy should potty about 10-15 minutes
after eating. I dont know if something is wrong but she will pee when
I take her outside, but it takes a few hours before she will poop and I
still cant tell her signs for when she's gotta go, so she winds up
pooping in my house.

Any suggestions? Is this normal?


Thanks!

15-20 minutes after feeding is a rule of thumb not manditory:)

I would watch the time when your pup poos from the time they eat. You can get an average of time so that you can take him/her out at approx that time.
Each pup is different.
Most pups you can tell need to poo when you pick them up thier lil poo poo hole will poke out a little bit.:D I know its gross but it has been my experience to be true
