night

We're about to adopt one of the foster pups we've had for 5 weeks. They're just past 9 weeks old. At night, they stay in a large pen with pee pads. We'll be crate training our dog, but the dilemma is what to do during the first nights. Just about every article or forum advice says to keep the...

Since this is my first thread, I'd like to first say hello! Now for my problem... I have a 5 month old puppy who was doing great in his crate the last few weeks. He would sleep through the night and was content during the day when I wasn't home (I have a camera set up so I can view his crate...

Can I put my puppy in an exercise pen at night with a pee pad rather than crating him and waking up every few hours to take him out? If I do this, will he get confused about when he needs to go on the pee pad and when he should go outside? Thank you for your help!

I have had this 20lbs terrier mix for 1 1/2 yrs, she is between 5 and 7 roughly. NEVER had any house problems (though she was a submissive urinator, we worked her through it and upped her confidence and security level). We both recently got full time jobs- no problems on her end with this Then...

I need help with an issue that started a few weeks back, but has only worsened and is quite worrying now. My 1year old Corgi, which I have since he was a baby, has started to growl at me at night when I try to pet him or approach him. During the day, I approach him in the exact same way and...

I just got a new puppy and usually she cries around 1am and 4am. Maybe it's because she misses her mom and brothers and sisters. She's outside (not literally outside) and my room is upstairs. I can't keep her in my room sincr she's not yet potty trained and there's a baby in our house and...

Four month old puppy... He was recently neutered (a week ago today.) He was previously crate trained and was doing great...sleeping through the night..no accidents..no whining. Suddenly, he whines non stop! He whines in the crate, out of the crate, in the bed, before going out to potty, once...

Hello, We have a 3 month old Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen called George. He's doing brilliantly at toilet training in the day, going outside to wee and mainly going outside to poop (about 3 times a day). At night, he sleeps in his crate downstairs (door open) without crying at all. He does...

Yeah, I'm "that guy". (Or girl, as it were.) We got a puppy with no real experience of puppies. We don't really know what we are doing and I'm afraid I am going to have a dog with a host of bad habits if I don't educate myself fast, especially due to her breed/type which is half black lab and...

So i'm new to the forum and i have just got my second dog in my life. My wife and I are trying to crate train him. He is a toy Australian Shepherd and he is probably the cutest pup in the world...Up until he has to go into his crate. I understand that this is a common issue and that there may be...

I know this question has been asked before and I've looked at all the responses that I can find but am also looking for further suggestions and thoughts... So, thank you in advance for responses. We have a 19-week old puppy name Mowat. He's a rescue so a mix of lab-husky and possibly pointer...

Hi there, I recently got a lovely little French Bulldog. I got him at 10 weeks, and have had him for just over 2 months now. He has been an absolute pleasure, and still is, only he has started pooping in his crate at night all of a sudden. In the two months I have had him, he never went at all...

Hello, My 10 yr. old dog has been barking continuously at night to keep going outside. We let him out and back in awhile later. Within 10 minutes of being let back in he will start barking again. He does not bark throughout the day to go out and only started this barking at night all the time...

We have a new British bulldog puppy called Mabel she is 5 months old. We have only currently had her since the 18-02-12. At night her bed is in her kitchen so she has full access to her water & her puppy pads. Her bed has toy & a blanket which she is familiar with. At night we put a hot water...

Hi, Everyone -- We've got a 12(ish)-year-old dog who we've had for three years now. She's always been excited to get into her bed (which we keep at the foot of our bed) when we were going to sleep and used to only be interested in getting in bed once every few months when there was a...

My boxer goes out to pee around 10:30. But still gets up at 12,2 and sometimes 5am. Help- I'm exhausted. I feel like its become behavioral now- how to break the cycle?

So, this early issue has been a problem all week, but I just got up from a night of scratching, whimpering and no sleep since about 3:30 AM... I have a 5mo Shiba Inu whom this has NEVER been an issue before. Last night, Apollo got up at 3:30, scratching and whimpering in his cage. I tried to...

Hi, we've got a three-year-old mongrel and she's been with us for most of her life. She's very sweet natured and generally obedient. She sleeps in the kitchen, but often scratches at the door and/or whines at night. Sometimes she'll just do it for a bit and then go to sleep. Sometimes she starts...

My dog is eight months old. We have had her for four months. We don't know what breed she is but most people guess husky/German shepherd. We have been putting her in the crate at night and when we go out for more than a few minutes since we got her. She has never had any problem with this...
