I have a 12 week old great pyr. The puppy now eats at 8 am and 4 pm. But puppy regularly will not poop until 11 pm, 1 am, 3 am and 5 am. How can we turn this around? HELP!!!

[@TheHesterC]

Hey, McCann Dog Training, thank you for this invaluable puppy training series! When it comes to using your puppy as an alarm clock at night, how can you tell the difference between them needing to go outside to potty and simply being restless/looking for attention? My family will be bringing home our first ever puppy in a few months, and I’m trying to be as prepared as possible. Thank you! 🙂

[@thisquietplace]

Our cobberdog always slept through the whole night from when he picked him up at 8wks, the only thing we conciously did was to remove his bowl before bedtime, getting a good nights sleep made us more patient puppy parents throughout the day

[@noniew0lf]

Honestly, we’ve had our 9 week old puppy Freddie for a week now and he’s settled so well thanks to your puppy videos! He’s been sleeping so well and barely whimpered, I have to listen for him to move and only have to take him out once a night and that’s cause of me being paranoid he’s going to pee in his crate! He does his business at night straight away and we go straight back to bed, it’s been amazing! Thank you soooo much! X

[@McCannDogs]

That’s so great to hear, Leonie O! Happy Training!

I get my puppy next month. I haven’t trained a puppy in 13 years. I need a refresher 😂😂. My 13 year old Shih Tzu stares at me when she needs to go out.

[@karterbentley85]

Ken and Kayl, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. I got my goldendoodle puppy named Nash yesterday! He has been such a breeze so far! No potty accidents, only been using potty outside!! Also he’s doing so well in his crate, he actually loves it without reinforcement! I have woke him up a couple of times throughout the night to go outside and I had to get him out because he didn’t want to come out. I’ve been studying up on your videos for the past 8 weeks waiting to get him and I feel like we are going to do great together. Once again, thank you SO much for all you do❤️ love from Kentucky!

[@McCannDogs]

So glad to hear that, Karter! It’s stories like this that make it fun for our whole team to create the videos! I’ll be sure to pass along your message. Happy Training!

[@krisah84]

Your videos are so helpful! I just got an Australian Shepherd yesterday @9weeks and I woke her up twice in 4 hr intervals to take her out (1a & 5a). I believe she would have made it through the night had I not woke her up! She is an awesome puppy!

[@theresacurrin6395]

This video is amazing 🤩. Watched this out of desperation on the 2nd day of bringing a new puppy home. Followed all the tips throughout the day to introduce him to the crate and exercised him before bed. Put the crate on table beside my bed and he did amazing 🤗. Got up once in the night and went to potty (in the rain of course) and he went straight back to the crate. He slept until my alarm went off. A couple of times he did whimper but he settled back down! Thanks so very much for this video. It truly works. 👏👏👏❤️

I am really enjoying your videos. I have an 11 week old Golden and she can be an angel and she can be the devil. Your videos are helping me deal with the devil moments. Chewing and biting right now are my biggest issues. I have taken to wearing gloves because she draws blood so often. I am implementing your training and will let you know how it is working. Thankyou Karen

[@annagalati34]

Thank you so much. We folliwed your night time routine to the letter. We have had our puppy, a pomchi, for 3 weeks. She is 13 weeks now and went from going every 3 hrs at night to now sleeping 6 1/2 hrs at night. She goes potty out side at 4:30am and goes right back into her crate to sleep for another 2 hours. Its smazing!!!

Great video. How old is the puppy on the video? As all schedules are different for different ages. 2-3 months is not the same as 4-6.

[@RCPlaneAddict]

Kayl, thanks for the help, on all things puppy. We have been working hard with our little 9 wk pup, and I think sleeping is the one thing we struggle the most with. Talk about knowing schedules, this little guy is up around midnight, then around 3 am, and finally about 5:30, 6. I have survived a week plus a few days, and the breeder says to give it two more weeks. If you have any other helpful suggestions, I am all ears. Thanks again.

[@nonyabiz9553]

Hello! quick question. So I commonly wake up at about 330am every night to use the restroom myself. Should I take this opportunity to also let me puppy relieve themselves?

[@peggymartin7905]

Our vizsla puppy which is now 11 weeks old sleeps like a champ, all night long until we wake up and are ready. What’s our secret? Puppy sleeps in bed with us! We take her out a couple times before we go to bed and she’s all set. No waking up in the middle of the night BS. And has never once had an potty accident

[@inmintealucagula]

Is it healthy to deny water for your dog that long?

[@andrewrajan1773]

Love the vids!!! Been a while since I was so early!

[@canislunaticus]

What my mum has done with our dogs has been limiting access to water and food hours before bedtime and then lots of exercise (playtime) to tire out the puppy and then from what I know she never had to get up during the night. Then first thing in the morning the pup was carried outside (focusing on using 1 door only so that the puppy quickly learns where to go whine to let us know to go out)

[@sorchabyrne8661]

Love this series, but i was wondering if you have any tips or videos about exclusively outdoor dogs?

My other dog (3years old) sleeps in a crate in my room, through the night. I have the puppy in a separate room, because if my dog hears the puppy or hears me take her out, he will also want to get out and participate. What do you recommend? Should I sleep in the other room with the puppy to hear if she stirs?

[@natc2806]

Here's a question, we about to get a puppy in 2 weeks, trying to prepare. You're videos have been so helpful! We are in a very dog friendly apartment. We have a dog run, but I'm concerned about taking the puppy there until he gets his vaccinations. Can I potty train on a grass mat on the patio until he is vaccinated? Will that harm potty training effort in the future. I'd love any advice you may have. Thank you!

[@jamiherlihy2311]

I love your videos. They are too the point and great info. My only question is what do you mean by "I settle my puppy if they start to stir." No matter what I do my 9 week old mini glodendoodle will not stop screaming in her crate. I know it is a mistake but, I take her out after the first 2 hours because I am so tired.

[@shuntapepper1265]

Hi. My 9 week puppy poops all night! He pooped and peed in my bed. I take him out after dinner and thought that was enough and he would sleep through the night. He wakes and poops. No pad, he avoids the pad. What do I do? Wake every hour to take him out?

[@dpopkin1]

My puppy is 8 weeks old and he still has to go every 3 hours overnight. I limit his water around 7pm.

[@Tipperary757]

[@Blendedbens]

I LOVE all of your advice but find I can’t listen to more then 1 video at a time if it has the background music… feels like sensory overload trying to listen to the words and drown out the music for some reason.

[@pentaxfotog1767]

Thank you for this vid. Lots of good ideas. I noticed you have her in a hard side crate and when she is laying down there is not a pad in the bottom. Is this what you recommend? If so, why?

[@malimoon]

I’m really enjoying your series, it’s helping me a great deal. Two nights ago she slept nine hours and last night 10 hours. I don’t mind staying awake after her first hurry up because we go to bed at 8 o’clock. I don’t work I’m disabled and live alone. Somethings I can’t do because of that like tire her out in a hallway with 2 ppl. She already knows her name and looks at me in the eye when I call her but I’m having a problem getting her to come when called. How long will the whole thing last? I know we will always have to keep her on the schedule.. So like one year every day two years? 1 1/2? I don’t mind getting up but I need my first coffee before supervising her and playing first thing. She has so much energy she won’t sit still in the crate. I still do supervise, but that’s the hard part. I let play on her own first thing.

New subscriber here🙋🏻‍♀️ been binge watching all your puppy videos ❤️ Do you have any information on potty training indoors on the puppy pads? We just brought home our 9 weeks old pugs took them to the vet turns out they came back positive for Giardia and 1 of them with Coccida 😕 Any recommendations are highly appreciated 🙏🏼

[@tranquility9325]

Potty training on puppy pads is bad bec it teaches them to go indoors. I received a puppy who was trained like that and it's an uphill battle to get him to be potty trained.

[@noellebatista3896]

How do we figure out if she’s whimpering at night for attention or if she needs to go? It’s happened several times we took her out at night but nothing happened. I don’t want to reinforce her behavior by giving her attention if she’s only whimpering for attention.

HI Mccann Dog Training, thank you for the video, we have got a 5 month old Pomeranian Puppy, he has been with us for 6 or 7 weeks now, he does not have many accidents inside as we keep taking him out all the time, he goes to bed in his crate at around 8 pm then take him out at 1 am and 6 am, most of nights he does not have accidents in the crate but sometimes he will poop - no pee- at night in between those times, he does not wimp or cry to alert us, he just does his business and carry on sleeping, we have already tried reducing the hours he needs to hold it, changing the time we take him out, etc, but still does not work, he will just poop in the crate without warning, any advice will be much appreciated.

[@Niecypoo]

I had the same problem with my puppy and I realized the crate I had her in was too big!! So I switch to one that was a little smaller so she could just turn around and lie down, no extra space for her to poo and still comfortably sleep! That did the trick.

[@yoobung]

We have a 10week old puppy, and we do wake up every couple hour for her to go potty outside, but even though we limit food/water access before bed, she either pees/poops during that every couple hours we take her out. So we’re worried if we don’t take her out every two hours, she’s gonna have accidents in her crate. Would you still recommend letting her sleep through ?

[@BENR8108]

Sounds like your feeding her to much before bed time. I’ve heard 2 hours till bed time, cut back on all water and food. Lots of play to tire her out.

[@Jnniesx]

My 8 week old puppy sleeps downstairs in his crate. My cat sleeps in my room, there's no way I keep them both in my room right now when they haven't fully adjusted to each other. I only need to wake up once throughout the night to let my puppy out to potty so I think that's pretty good so far. I sleep at 11, wake up at 7 and if I have to take him out between this time, I honestly prefer taking him out at 3am rather than at 5 or 6am. It's harder for me to fall back asleep if I wake up 1-2 hrs before I need to. But I'll be trying to push him to hold for 8hrs within the next week or two

[@elielmedina2632]

My wife and I have a dilemma. We have a 11 week old doberman and got him at 8 weeks. After the first 3 days he was sleeping all night in his crate with no accidents. But for the passed 4 days he has been pooping inside his crate overnight. He starts to cry in the middle of the night and when we go to let him out he has already pooped. If you could suggest reasons as to why he is pooping in his crate suddenly and if you could recommend steps to prevent him from pooping overnight.

My puppies poop schedule was twice a day once at night and once during early morning but it's the second day it's not pooping during those times but during the day in the house it's a 7 weeks old gsd

[@tonkatoy4207]

We have an 8 week old that we've had for 5 days. The first couple of days he only pooped after breakfast and after dinner. Third day he pooped after breakfast, then an hour later in the house, then not again until after dinner. So I started a log of times he peed and pooped so I can see a pattern. In a new environment he may be a little anxious so his schedule may get off. Also, your feeding schedule is probably a little different than the breeder so make sure you give him enough of time to relieve himself after breakfast. Hope this helps.

[@karishmapatil3388]

My dog is cane corso I dont have crate, she is huge, she sleeps on her bed in my room but she pees in the night without making any noise. In the day time she lets me know by whimpering but in night she doesn't whimper. How do I make her let me know she has to go?

[@maaaarrrr]

avoid it, instead of anything. like the video said, you should stop feeding and giving her water about 2-3 hours before sleeping, and taking her out right before sleep.

[@JumpingOnion]

i restricted my puppy’s water and food at around 8 pm, I took him outside to see if he needed to use the restroom, which he did. He was tired by the time i was going to bed. we both slept for about 2 hours, until he started whining. i took him outside again and, again he needed to poop. when we went back to his crate he didnt want to go inside it, and when he finally went in, he did nothing but whine. what should i have done?

[@4321woodsy]

What I do with my Collie puppy, is rather than letting him out after you took the food and water, keep him awake and then when you are ready for bed take him out and wait for him to wee and poop. You don’t say how long it was between the 8pm and bed time but I assuming it’s say 10pm. Those extra 2 hours could make all the difference between wees and poop and could make all the difference of making it through the night. The whining does sound like it’s either just attention crying or separation anxiety to be honest. I have a 5 month old Collie who now sleeps outside his crate, usually upstairs with us and makes it all the way from about 10pm to about 7am without an accident. I struggled at first until I looked at it in a purely scientific way and it finally clicked, that no food or water in the dog after a certain time, dog empties bladder and stomach before I go to bed, nothing else goes in bladder or stomach therefore nothing can come out throughout the night.

I would never set off fireworks in my yard with a little puppy! That frightening sound outside might just ruin all of your potty training because he might be too fearful to go out. I would give your puppy a calming chew (a medicinal chew) before I left, and have some music on in the house so that the sounds will be muffled and maybe even the TV at the same time

At what age can you let your pup go potty by themselves? We always go out with him to potty no matter the time of day to ensure he goes, but we're not sure when we will be able to trust him to go out and go on his own. He is almost 6 months and is good in ringing his bell to be let out.

Would you stop calling it “the washroom” - of course that sounds quite polite and I’m sure you’re trying to be conscious with your vernacular, but you’re already saying “poop - pee - potty.” Stop calling it the wash room, “then I let her up and take her outside to use the washroom.” You’re diminishing your professional credentials when you keep calling the grass outside, “the washroom” Same with “the bathroom” Call it potty, call it poop, call it pee, call it go outside. All of these are perfectly polite and appropriate for ANY audience.
