Refuses crate in the night

Restrict fluids two hours before bedtime.
Potty Stop before bed
Bedtime, into the crate.

An 11 week old puppy should have no trouble sleeping through the night without a potty stop.

11 weeks old puppies certainly are not all capable of going 6-8 hours without a potty break. A few can do it, but for the vast majority, their bladders are too small to hold it in that long.

Can I prove that All lPuppies can? No.

The Internet says 4 months.
I just now wonder what effect removing individual pups from mom and littermates has on sleep depth and duration?

All three of my fostered litters not only could sleep through the night but did sleep and not just 6 or 8 hours. 10 hours with mom and littermates in the crate. Not a creature was stirring..

Watch out wnen the crate door swings open first thing in the morning. Standby the mop!
