Episode 2: What If Your Dog Needs to Go at Night

Hello and welcome to a new Episode from DogPottyTrainingTips.Net

Today we are going to talk about:

What if Your Dog Needs to Go at Night

Dog potty training is an important part of house training a dog.

It is always easier to potty train puppies rather than potty training an ADULT dog as they pick up habits faster than their adult counterparts. Potty training also helps your puppy to develop hygienic habits and makes sure that he can differentiate between places he can use as his toilet and places he cannot.

However, you would not want to be disturbed at night because your puppy wants to relieve himself. There are a few things you can do to ensure that your little pet does not wake you up in the middle of the night.

Firstly, you should make sure to feed him well before you put him off to sleep. This will ensure that he relieves himself sometime before sleeping.

Secondly, you should also make it a habit to take your puppy out for a long walk before going off to sleep, so that it can do its business then and not bother you in your sleep.

Thirdly, if your puppy decides to poop at night, you can always make a dog gate in your backyard. However, you need to make sure that you have designated a place in your backyard for your dog to relieve himself.

However, if you can’t get your puppy to follow any of the above mentioned steps, you can opt for putting a plastic sheet or paper sheet next to his crate. This will not only help him relieve himself in the oddest of hours but also let you enjoy your sleep without being disturbed by your whining puppy.

However, you will need to make sure that your puppy does not start using any and every place around his crate as his toilet.

Last but not the least, if none of these work, you can change your habit into one where you get up once at night and take your puppy out into the backyard for taking a poop. This might not be very difficult for a lot of people as they anyways get up once in the night for having water or relieving themselves. This should only be used as a last resort as this will prevent your puppy from having a good night's sleep.
