Give your new puppy plenty of potty breaks, even when you’re at work.

DID YOU JUST GET A PUPPY?!?!?!?!

Getting a puppy is one of the most exciting, delightful, and adorable experiences a dog-lover can have. AND puppies need a lot of care and attention that older dogs don’t require.

Puppies can control their bladder for about one hour for every month of age. So if a puppy is 2 months old, they can hold it for about two hours.*

So you have the challenge of making sure they get outside to go potty as frequently as possible, and you need to teach potty training in general.

Perfect pet care for new puppy parents

With Skiptown dog walking services, you can have a Purple Person come as often as you need to get your pup outside to do their business. This gives them the relief they need and reinforces good potty behavior! (And if they did have an accident in the crate, we’ll clean it up when we arrive.)

Purchase a bundle of visits and we’ll come by 2 or even 3 times a day to walk (and play with, because duh) your puppy while you’re at work, so you don’t have to worry about coming home to an anxious pup or a messy crate.
