| Late night poops in Crate Sigh SQL, our 3 month old puppy is now pooping in his crate. It seems to happen sometime during the night after bed time. We take him out for a walk right before he goes to bed, then we lie down in bed for ten minutes, then I put him in the crate. He'll cry for ten minutes and then fall asleep. The next morning my fiancee gets up around 5:10 and lets SQL out Only to find poop. The crate is divided as small as possible. He's only 2 lbs, so he's really teeny. Not sure if we should wake up at some point in the night to let him out to poop? We go to bed at 9:30 or 10:00 latest. I know he's little and not to expect too much from him. But I don't want this to be a habit. Any help? |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | What time is the cut off for his food. I used to stop lulu's food at about 7 or so and she would poop for the night. But in order to keep her blood sugar up I would give her a handful of cheerios before we went to sleep. She never pooped in the crate. Remember what they poop will not be the currently fed food it will most likely be food from earlier since when the food is ingested it has to be broken down and then waste moved into the intenstines.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | If dinner is at 5 then he should have pooped it all out by bedtime or at least be able to wait until morning. I would suggest giving him a quick walk right before you get into bed. You might also want to see if he is giving you any cues as to if he has to go at night. He is still small so he will learn. I tend to walk Lulu right right before I arm our alarm at night and lock up the house.
