Going longer in between?

At what age did your puppies start to hold it longer? So, Addie does real well with her potty. I had her down like clockwork. 6:10a, 8:30, 11, 1:30, 3:30, and then about 6-ish, 9 and then 11p (she does not ask and we do not take her out at night from 11-6. If she was restless, or cried, we have).

But now she is not doing her second poo at 8:30, and has been holding it until her 11 or 1:30 times (I work from home and these are scheduled times). It is throwing me off and am afraid she will poo in the house. She still pees (she did not at her 11a, but asked to go out at 12, which is fine since its the time change) but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy and this is normal. Nothing else has changed about her food (I.e. amounts, brand or feeding times), and my schedule hasn't changed. Today for example, she has not gone since her 6 a.m. and there were no accidents. She started holding it longer progressively since the beginning/middle of last week.
 
Minnie - have slept all night from 21.30 to 7 since she was 4 months (sleeping in my bed)
in the day she was out at. 7 + 10 + 12 + 15 + 2 -3 times about 17 (when she has received food) and finishing at 21.30

when she was about 6 months changed it and were somewhat less about 5 times a day.

about 7½ months we went out about 7 in the morning, but she did nothing before we went for a walk by 8-9 times.

So now it ca.kl. 8-9 again about 15 again about 17 (when she has eaten) and the last time when we go for an evening walk at 19.30 fiden,

I go for a walk in our small garden with her a few times when I think she keeps for a long time, but she did not pee or poo then we enter again.

She makes poo 2 rarely 3 times a day

She has never had an accident inside.

She is actually 8 months. Today.:hugs

(hope you understand the time, neither I am good to your time ) :no:
 
Pippi is nearly 6 months and happily goes out at 7 she can hold until lunch and till 3 when my brother goes to work. Out again at 6 and last time at 9. Over the weekend she went at 6.30am then again at lunch then again at home at 7.30pm.
 
I can't compare the boy, but at 10 months we are doing 5 AM (pee/poo), 9, 1 (pee/poo), 5 (pee/poo), 9, and once in the middle of the night about 1-2 AM because I get up to go and I guess I can't ask them to do what neither me nor the husband can do anymore (old people here!)

Now Melli, my girl, if left to her own devices it would be 5 AM (pee/poo), 11 AM (pee), 5 PM (pee/poo), and 9 PM pee for bed. She just holds it. I also battled an ugly UTI with her, probably for that reason, and have added a cran supplement to help with the pH on that.
 
thanks for the replies. I was just not sure if it was a maturity thing, but it sounds like, based on your replies, that it might be. I am relieved that I am not missing something lol.

We have tried to take her out at night in middle of night, but she can't be bothered and she just lays down out there lol. Girl likes her sleep LOL.

I understood your times, Minnie :) thank you! We go by two 12 hour increments, instead of the 24 hour day. 19.30 would be 7:30pm. (Just subtract 12 hours from your time).

Thank you :lol: why could we not just have the same reckoning of time, weights and measures, it would be much easier (to me) :yes:
