Puppy Crying: Do They Want Attention or a Potty Break?

Take your puppy to their designated potty spot frequently, gradually increasing the time between breaks as they grow and their bladder control improves. Keep a record of their potty times and any accidents to identify patterns and adjust the schedule accordingly.
