Bringing home a new Yorkie puppy or English Bulldog puppy is an exciting journey, but it’s essential to establish a structured routine early on. A consistent daily schedule helps with potty training, feeding, and behavior training, making life easier for both you and your new furry friend.

At Puppies in Paradise, we specialize in breeding Yorkies and English Bulldogs, and we know that structure is key to raising a well-behaved and happy pup. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up the perfect puppy routine.

🕘 Puppy Feeding Schedule: What & When to Feed Your Yorkie or Bulldog

Proper nutrition is essential for growth and development. Puppies need a consistent feeding schedule to support their energy levels and digestion.

✅ 8-12 Weeks Old: Feed 4 small meals per day
✅ 3-6 Months Old: Reduce to 3 meals per day
✅ 6+ Months Old: Transition to 2 meals per day

Feeding Tips for Yorkies & English Bulldogs

🐾 Yorkies have fast metabolisms and may need small, frequent meals to avoid low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Choose a high-quality small breed puppy food rich in protein and healthy fats.

🐾 English Bulldogs are prone to weight gain and digestive issues, so opt for a balanced, breed-specific puppy diet that supports healthy digestion.

💡 Pro Tip: Always provide fresh water and avoid feeding your puppy right before bedtime to prevent accidents.

🚽 Potty Training Your Puppy: Creating a Bathroom Routine

House training is one of the most important aspects of establishing a routine. A consistent potty schedule helps prevent accidents and reinforces good behavior.

Ideal Potty Schedule for Puppies

🐶 First thing in the morning
🐶 After every meal
🐶 After naps or playtime
🐶 Before bedtime

🔹 Choose a Designated Potty Spot: Whether you’re using pee pads, a grassy area, or a dog-friendly spot outside, take your puppy to the same place each time.
🔹 Use Positive Reinforcement: Praise and reward your puppy after they potty in the right spot.
🔹 Watch for Signs: Sniffing, circling, or whining means it’s time for a potty break!

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid punishment for accidents—stay patient and consistent!
