Congratulations — you got the puppy. Nobody warns you about the output: a young pup goes four to five times a day, which means a single puppy out-produces two adult dogs while being more likely to carry roundworms and hookworms (most puppies are born with or acquire them, which is why vets deworm on a schedule).
Pick a zone. Housetraining goes faster when the pup has one consistent spot — and cleanup concentrates there too. Match cleanup to output: with 30+ deposits a week, weekly removal is the minimum, not the deluxe option. Watch the evidence: puppy waste is your early-warning system — rice-like specks mean worms (vet call), and our field guide covers the rest. Protect the kids' turf: puppy parasite loads are exactly why the CDC-style hygiene rules exist.
Honestly? Week one. It's the highest-output, highest-risk window, and you're already sleep-deprived from crate training. $17/visit weekly, first dog included — and yes, with your permission the pup gets a treat and becomes our best friend on the route. Instant quote.
