House Training Puppies At Night

You won t be able to hear the dog if he starts to fidget or fuss when he needs to go potty so you ll need to be extra responsible about getting in there to take him out to potty at regular intervals.

House training puppies at night. You can train them with a crate or you can house train them. Pick up your puppy s water dish about two and a half hours before bedtime to reduce the likelihood that they ll need to relieve themselves during the night. Puppies between 8 and 14 weeks of age will likely need to eliminate during the night. Lay down newspaper away from their bed area until your puppy can hold on for longer.

Toilet training a puppy at night. Most puppies can sleep for approximately seven hours without needing a bathroom break. When you are house training a puppy at night it s important to remember that they have tiny bladders and that you ll probably have to get up at night at least once in order to accommodate their pee cycle at least until they are 10 or 12 weeks old. If the pup doesn t soil their crate for a few weeks straight you can start setting the alarm for 15 minutes later the next night and then repeat if they succeed again the following night.

The choice is really up to you. If you aren t willing or able to have your puppy in your room at night you can do this training with him in another room. Keep them crated in your bedroom so that you can hear them whine to be let out. Most puppies don t have strong enough bladders to be able to hold on overnight for several months so unless you have your puppy upstairs with you expect to come downstairs to a bit of mess.

Remember to take them out first thing to give them an opportunity to relieve themselves as soon as possible. Turn on as few lights as possible don t talk to or play with your puppy take them out and then. If you do this you might try leaving music a fan or a white noise machine on since the sound may help to soothe and relax him.
