Jackson is now 10 weeks old and just the love of our lives! :DHe has adjusted very well, is thriving on Fromm's Puppy kibble and we can just see him growing! I am home all day with him, and take him out very often for potty breaks. He has even started sitting at the door ( on occasion) when he needs to go out- but we watch him like a hawk for any "signals" that he has to go. In other words, WE are trained, not him! Almost no accidents to report! My question is night time. He settles down for the night about 8pm. We are early-to-bed people, 9 pm. I take him out one last time before we retire. We have been setting the alarm for 1:30am. We take him out, he pees and goes right back to sleep. At what age should we start pushing the envelope for going all night. He has never peed in the crate and I do not want start any bad habits. Maybe we should set the alarm later and later at weekly intervals? It's been so long since we had a young puppy, I have forgotten the routine! Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!
