rotten_two Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 is this the first time raisin has not been able to hold himself thru the night? i suspect not since he is so young. as a general rule pups can hold it for their age in months plus 1 hour. so if raisin is 3 mos you should plan to take him out at the very least every 4 hours or so. of course everydog is different so it can vary. i don't think you did anything wrong. you took him out before bed, you got up and took him out to finish and i hope you praised like crazy when he peed outside. come in and clean up and start anew. you might think about putting the crate closer to you at night -- maybe right beside your bed. there are a couple reasons to do this 1) dogs like to be near us and 2) the close proximity can allow you to hear the pee whimper much earlier and you can react faster.

rotten_two Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 oh one thing i might have forgotten to mention is that if you do have to take him out in the middle of the night you might think to carry him. sometimes they are less likely to let fly until their feet touch the ground.
