We have had alot of challenges house training our pup (already posted here once...). We are in obedience school and have had a behaviorist to the house once already. She is now 90% house trained.
We are having a different set of challenges now. She is crated from 8-2:30 daily. She gets lots of exercise when we get home, food and water gets taken up from her access by 6 p.m. and she is not even close to sleeping through the night. The few times we have let her fuss she has an accident in her crate. She is FINE during the day, but it seems her little bladder and parts are programmed to go all night long. She was up 1 , 3 and 5 last night and we are really struggling. Of course she goes out before bed ( around 11 p.m.) and goes to sleep just fine in her crate. We have tried EVERYTHING we can think of ...radio, TV on, or off, ticking clock, no clock, bedding, no bedding, toys, no toys...at wits end and jsut durned tired....
