If you take water away a few hours before bed and then take them out right before bed and then put them in crate to sleep you and then right away in the morning you won't have those middle of the night potty break

[@KiranSingh-es2ot]

Do you not get thirsty during the night and wake up in the middle of the night for a quick glass of water? So why should we take that away from dogs? They get thirsty at night too.

[@savannamackie3720]

@@KiranSingh-es2ot I mean sure but as long as they are hydrated throughout the day it will be ok. It's just so that the first couple of weeks you can teach them not to go at night and also not in their crate or house. :)

[@abagfullofcats4247]

Do not remove water. Period. This can cause dehydration and other issues. This is NOT how you potty train a puppy.

[@KiranSingh-es2ot]

@@savannamackie3720 you can't train them to NOT go at night. Puppies that are young can only hold in their bladder for 3-4 hours depending on how many months they are (eg. 2 month old puppy can hold their bladder for 3 hours). So no, do not leave them thirsty at night. Just do your job and wake up and take responsibility! You will feed a baby at any time of the night depending on how hungry they are..so do the same for your puppy and give them water when they need it

[@the_wanderer3]

Quick note: I have a 2 year old beagle mix. When we first got her we made sure she had a drink before she went to bed then took her out to go potty. We put her in her crate at night (and still do she feels safe in it) And she had no water all night and still never has water at night. In the morning we would take her out of the crate and outside then back inside where water was avalible right outside her crate. It IS possible for a puppy to go the whole night with no water. ESPECIALLY if you play with them close to bed time so they're tired out. Puppies sleep ALOT and have alot of growing to do. My dog has never had an accident in her crate. And not giving her access to water over night has done her no harm at all as she has water avalible to her the rest of the day that gets refilled often. I know it's a controversial topic on if dogs should have access to water or not at night. But aslong as your puppy is properly hydrated they CAN last the night with no water. When my dog as a puppy she often went most of the day without drinking (she had access to water. She was asleep for the majority of the day and all night especially as a 8 week old)

[@vettechmom6056]

She is ADORABLE !!!! For your downstairs crate, make sure you are leaving it open when you are hanging out watching TV. Keep the crate where you are, don't put it in another area where the puppy may feel that it's being segregated. We had the problem with our dog, he wouldn't get NEAR his crate because I had it in the to her room. I moved it to our family room where we watch TV and hang out the most and I actually got in the crate and shut the door so he could see it's ok to go in. That very night, we were watching TV and he went in and laid down on his own. They learn to really love it

[@twobrokewolves5884]

I have three dogs, and I agree with this. Especially being up in the middle of the night. It's very common to regret buying a puppy at first, but that goes away once routines are established and everything settles down.

Me and my family just got a baby yorkie. I'm 13 and basically, all the responsibility is on me, since I'm the one who was begging for years. Honestly, sometimes I question if it was a good choice but I know that when he grows up and is trained, then we'll be best friends.

[@seokiia5756]

Your so lucky! My puppy went to sleep at 9 and woke up at 1. She’s such a handful 😂!

[@jadeproductions]

@@seokiia5756 Yes I'm very lucky, she is the best dog ever. :) When she was younger I developed this routine: Before She went to bed I would brush her coat & teeth and put her to bed, at the same time everyday. I think dogs benefit a lot from routines. After a while, when I started brushing her in the evening, she would already fall asleep on my lap because the brain knows whats coming. It's a bit like the pavlov effect, where the dogs start drooling when they hear the bell. With a 'bedtime routine' the brain starts releasing sleep hormones at the same time everyday and together with some actions like brushing, the brain knows it's time to sleep. Maybe a little tip: If you pup wakes you up at night, put her outside for the 'buisness' and put her back in her sleeping spot. NO playing, NO talking (If you are still potty training, praising is allowed) and put her straight back. Don't give any attention and ignore her, go back to bed. I don't know how old she is but older puppies should be able to sleep more than 8 hours at once. They need to learn because in the nest they would all wake each other up at night to do their thing and play. Puppy needs to learn new routines. Goodluck :) Sorry for the novel lol

[@HLDlove]

I have two dogs -- Nala and Luna. We rescued both when they were puppies & they make our life complete. It was very difficult having a 1 year old dog and a new puppy, but somehow we managed lol! They are best friends and it is such a joy to see them play and snuggle together.

I have a cat (had two actually, but one got old and died) and I think cats are the best pets (for me at least). They are cute and hilarious, they want to cuddle with you and talk to you. And they are just so little work - they use the toilet on their own (you just need to show them once) and you don't need to discipline them because they do what they want anyway 😆 I love how independent they are. The only downside is that you can't take them anywhere because they like to stay at their place.

[@ashleydawson4747]

As someone who has grown up with dogs (currently have 3, but total of 7 dogs my whole life), a way to help with the potty issue is put a bell on the door leading to the backyard or if you live in an apartment the front door. As well as if they are awake, the first few weeks while potty training take them out every half hour to hour, and then slowly increase the time. Let the puppy sleep, and as soon as they are up take them outside to go to the bathroom. Also please never use potty pads, most dogs think its okay to go in the house with the use of those. If you are crate training, and that is where they sleep at night or when home alone, make sure that the space is big enough for them to be able to turn around, but not to be able to walk. If the area is more for just fixing their sleeping position, they won't want to go to the bathroom in the crate and will wait until they are taken outside. As they become more reliable and potty trained then giving them a bigger space is ideal. this is for anyone looking at getting a puppy, especially with quarantine going on.

[@ALLCYONE101]

For anyone who has a new pup or planning on get one (or several), here is a book I would highly recommend. It's called " How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend: The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners" by the Monks of New Skete. We actually rescued a 4 year old Australian Shepherd last year named Sydney (she is 5 now) and we were able to use a lot of the principles in the book even though she wasn't a puppy anymore. She warmed up to us crazy-quickly and has been our furry love-bug ever since.

Awe!! I bet you can't wait to get your own some day!

I got a pup because we lost our dog suddenly, and my baby was 3 months old when we first got him. I went CRAZY the first few weeks, it was so hard. We are so lucky he adapted so quickly. He’s a St. Bernard/Bernese/Pyrenees so we’re thankful he’s big dog laid back and has a huge bladder 😊❤️

[@sararichardson279]

smaller dogs have smaller bladders ... something to think about for anyone thinking of getting a puppy.

Getting my little Springador puppy today!! So excited 🥰

[@msmonet-ww2db]

I'm so glad I found this video. I freaked out when I first tried to have a pet but now I'm ready to try again. I'm ready. Your video was helpful and relatable!

[@blaxis3271]

Yes! Puppies are amazing. But if you are going to be the only one taking care of your little pup (what I mean by that is taking care of your pup is taking him on walks, taking him out to use the bathroom, playing with him, picking up his poop, giving him baths, brushing his hair, training him, giving him food, giving him water, cleaning out his bowls, cleaning up his accidents etc. I said his cause my puppy is a his) then I really hope you are not busy because they do require high maintenance. And don’t leave them alone for to long because they can get separation anxiety or boredom. That’s why me and my brother both take care of my 8 month old mini poodle that we got 4 months ago. Of course I love but at times it can be hard...

Yes puppies need a lot of attention. My dog is 9 years old and he still demands attention all the time but I love it.

[@churchgir1]

tip: take as many photos of your pup as you can. puppy or adult, you won’t regret it.

This video is so helpful! We are getting our first puppy in June! I can't wait. Can you do a video on the first things you will need to buy before getting a puppy??? Thanks girl!

[@blammmed]

how did that go?

[@savannahdragons3282]

To get, my extensively researched list: Harness Interactive Toys Teething Toys Plush Toys Treat-Releasing Toys Fetch/Tug Toys Dog Food Container Bitter Puppy Spray Food Bowl Water Bowl Travel Water Bottle Poo Bags+Holder Puppy Bed Identification Tag Puppy Brush Toothbrush + Toothpaste Puppy Shampoo + Conditioner Cleaning Supplies Nail Clippers Toy Box A couple of these things, like the Toy Box and Dog Food Container and Bitter Puppy Spray, are optional. However, I recommend all of them, as they help organization and other things.

I have a yorkshire puppy! But I have dogs since I was a child. It's my second yorkshire, and I had a boxer too. They are very cuddly. Congratulations! It is an amazing experience.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yorkies are so cute!!

[@raquelcosta9022]

@@HealthNutNutrition , I love yorkies and boxers. The Boxer it's a very good dog, they are very protective. My mum it was like a mum for him, and when we were at home and he didn't see her he searches around the house. But right now I live in an apartment, yorkies are better to keep things in order at home due to its size.

planning on adopting a teddy bear puppy this month!!! they are very expensive but definitely worth it and videos like this are much needed!

[@scottcarson5385]

Hi! I'm new to your channel and am LOVING it! Cashew is adorable!! I'm 32 and have always had dogs around me, but I'm finally ready (and contemplating) to get a dog. So when I saw the title of your video I had to watch it. If she starts chewing on harder surfaces she might benefit from a Nylabone...Puppies will sometimes seek out hard (sometimes wood) surfaces to chew while teething if they don't have some sort of bone. They can help strengthen and clean their teeth, easier to digest as well. It's the only type of "bone" I would give my dog. Can't wait to see her grow!!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thanks for watching Scott!! 🐾
