Kipawa nighttime peeing

[Shannanigan]

@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. ....
