I have a 10 week old Shiba Inu puppy that is pretty much already crate and potty trained, however, I'm having a diffcult time figuring out when to let her go potty in the morning. As of now, I've been putting her in her crate between 10:30-11 p.m and letting her out anytime between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m., once I do that, I dont put her back in her crate, instead I fall asleep on the couch and she usually will fall asleep next to me. She only cries when she absolutely has to be let out to go potty and i've been trying to let her out before it gets to that point, as a result, I'm pretty much awake since 4 a.m. worrying that she might start crying to be let out. My question is, should I just pick a time in the morning, lets say 5 a.m., where I let her out whether she's crying to be let out or not? Or should I wait until she cries letting me know she has to go? Also, what is your advice about putting her back in her crate after she goes potty ? Is this fine or should i give her some time outside the crate since she's been in there all nigth? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
