    @Basenjimamma:

    So is it odd that Pippin does sleep thorugh the night

    I don't know if it's odd or not, but when we got Maxx at 11 weeks of age, he slept through the night from the first night, too.

    I think they are all different… and sometimes baby puppies sleep so sound they pee in their sleep... as I don't think that the brain is totally connected to... "I have to pee".... ggg
    Keep in mind that Mom's encouraged peeing/pooping by cleaning and licking them... and most times that was when they are sleeping.....

    Although Pippin didn't have a mom after 10 days, she passed away.

    Which would maybe make a difference, however…. the "human" would have had to do the stimulation... (obviously not by licking :eek:)

    Last night I set the alarm for 3:30 a.m. and got up to let Kipawa pee. That worked out fine for him, but I am bagged this morning. We'll do this for a little while, and gradually increase the hours until he eventually sleeps through the night.

    First thing in the morning he is out until I drink my coffee and quickly read the newspaper. He doesn't like it - there is some separation anxiety happening when I am not sitting outside with him. But I will keep to this routine. Eventually I believe he will get to know that outside in the a.m. does not mean his mommy is abandoning him.

    Our home is one level, and we do not have a doggy door. Somehow I don't think he would willingly go outside at night on his own as during the day, even if we leave the back door open, he does not venture out. I don't think he is a fan of the damp grass for doing business.

    @dmey:

    Maybe this helps, at first Ayo would pee outside when I took him out, but I always left some newspaper in a corner and when he couldn't hold it he would go there, ( don't ask me who taught him that!!!) so I didn't have to wake up at two or three am, he would just use the paper and go back to sleep. Eventually I would wake up and the paper would be dry, until I didn't need it anymore!! I can't remember how old he was, but I never got up to take him out. Only the other day when he had diareah, then he woke me up!!!!

    I did pretty much this same thing with Paco when he was that age, with puppy pads. The problem came in when he grew bigger and started to "miss" the puppy pads, as he never stopped using them on his own like Ayo did. After a failed attempt at litterbox training him, we wound up having to crate him at night until we woke up to let him outside to use the bathroom. About a week of that, and he seemed to get the idea that he could hold it all night. :)

    I'll be setting the alarm again tonight for 3:30 a.m. After a week to week and a half of that, I'll change the alarm to 4:30 a.m., and continue on that routine, gradually increasing the time by one hour, until eventuaully Kipawa can hold his pee all night.

    That sound like a really good plan… hope it works out...

    I am sorry to hear about Pippins mom. ....

    @DebraDownSouth: I do 2 kinds of walks with my dogs, both do no permit pulling. On most walks, I like to use a longer leash and I allow them to sniff and do whatever… it is what is fun for them. On exercise walks, I make them heel and keep head up. That way they get that sometimes they can meander and sniff, other times it's business. I have never tried it, but I suspect you can teach sniff, then NO SNIFF lol. We do both on our walks, free leash and then heeling. But I would love him to have his head up more during free leash walking.

    @Janneke: Sorry.. but she hates her crate… and she has to be in it for 8 hours a day... And you don't walk her in the morning...? I would start with making sure your dog is tired in the morning before you put her in her crate. And maybe you can try to leave her loose in the house so she can move around? This is not only to you, but I read it so often on this forum that dogs spend entire days in their crates... I just don't understand that people can put their dogs in crates 8+ hours a day (I'm not including nights..) I agree with Janneke here - if she hates her crate, she may pee in it because she gets extremely unhappy there. Not all dogs need to be crated - I've never had a dog who was crated, and the two I have now are loose when we're gone because Shaye, who was 10 weeks when we got her, always hated it, never changed, and started breaking baby teeth on it. When we leave we leave them with a treat to get their immediate attention, and they usually sleep or keep themselves busy, with no damage or upset. Of course, we aren't usually gone more than 6 hours when we leave them.

    LOL long ago I had a chow and roommate. The roommate did not like the chow and yelled at her. She came home to find the chow had gotten into her laundry basket and pooped. My roommate was smart. She began being nice to the chow. It's like the AA saying, fake it til you make it. She eventually bonded with her.

    @Nemo: Can you give more details of the situations when he pees on the couch? Well, it happened in two occasions in two different days. The first time we had been playing, we had gone for a walk after, we came back home, then I went to the kitchen to have some water and when I came back to the living room I saw him getting down the couch and voila! He had wetted the couch so I took him out right away. The second time was yesterday but I just noticed that the couch was wet, but did not see the moment it exactly happened, so I can't give many details. But I find it extrange, as mentioned, since he has been doing really well on potty training, I wonder what makes him peeing there.

    mia only gets water when were there to watch her and take her out about 10-15 minutes later.. whenever shes taken out of the crate she goes straight outside.. and before we put her in we take her out again, whether thats 15 or 20 minutes or an hour. i've quickly learned that water goes RIGHT through them. so taking the water out of the cage should work! she has an occasional accident but not everyday.

    I adopted my B and the foster parent that I picked her up from said she would pee in her crate at night if there was a blanket or any kind of bedding in there but is fine otherwise. When I adopted her we decided to leave her out at night and she also seems to be fine with that.
