How long should 10 week old be able to hold it?

Hi kristimcmurry ,

Puppies less than 6 months age just do not have the holding power to make it over night. You can help this by making sure no water 2 hours before bed and a potty trip before lights out at night.. Sounds like you are doing a good job of training , don't feel bad as this is just puppyhood. At 6 months of age the overnight holding should be no problem.

One thing that will help is to take your Beagle to the same spot to potty every time and praise when he gets it right. This will help him understand that this is a potty trip and not a walk with time to sniff around.

Tip : Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover works great.... Link: http://www.petco.com/product/2437/N...c=bazaarvoice-_-RLP-_-2437-_-description_link

Let me know if this helps chipper.

Setting a potty spot will be a big help in the long run. It may take your Beag a while to catch on but he will in time.
The falling asleep is just a puppyhood thing , I've seen young dogs just playing up a storm and then just run out of gas and fall asleep on the spot.

That Natures Miracle also has an enzyme that removes the scent marker so your Beag can't find that spot again , we have used it for a long time.

Sure sounds like your doing great with Chipper.
