Hi-
I've posted once or twice on here before. I have a 10+ plus week old puppy, Lucy, who is doing GREAT! She is 95% crate/house trained during the day. However, I'm struggling at night. Every morning there is poop in the cage. I know the logical answer is to take her out every few hours at night--is this what most people do? My only real concern with that is I don't want her to get used to it; I want her to know that eventually she won't have the option to go several times in the middle of the night.
I do sleep with the bedroom door open hoping I might wake up if I hear her cry to go out, but so far that's only happened once.
Anyone have any advice on what's worked for them with overnight crate training?
Thanks!
- Katie
