| Bladder Control Hey everyone: I just got my new puppy this week. He's about 2 months old and I was just wondering how long it took everyone's pup to start sleeping through the night without having to pee. He gets up every 2-4 hours to go pee. Just want to make sure this is normal and try to figure out when I'll be able to sleep again.

| If you have a two-month-old who's letting you know he has to go out you are very lucky. I don't know exactly when a yorkie can go through the night, mine is three months, but they have tiny bladders and will suffer if not allowed to go. Where is he sleeping? Bed? Crate? |

| He's sleeping in his crate next to my bed. He starts whining and I take him to his puppy pads and he usually goes right away.

| It could be your pup is mainly crying because it is lonely and the pup is learning that if he cries he will get attention. I have sold pups in the past that when they went to their new homes at around 12 weeks old, the new owners reported to me that the pups slept all night with no accidents and some would need to get up once during the night, they are all different. Your pup is still very young. It might be easier on the pup and you if you had a small x-pen for the pup to sleep in so the pup can go in and out of his crate and use pee pads. |

| Right on! Yes those pups are great a making anyone think they are about to suffer and die inside their crate when they are really just lonely!!! I would wait until your puppy stops whining (a space in between whines) to open his crate. That might help the whining. I remember for the first 3-4 months I had to take my yorkie outside just about every hour and a half. But he did test me the first several nights in his crate! |
