First off no one suggest NOT TO GIVE YOUR DOG WATER.
It's monitoring the water that makes training happen.
I am sure the law will not knock on your door demanding
you give your puppy water 24/7.
If more people took training serious the pounds and resuce's
would not be over run by dog's who were turned in because
they could not be trained.

As far as a human baby is concerned you can not compare
a dog with a baby. A baby wears diapers which catch the pee
and poop. They are not trained until they possibly reach the age
of two years old. Who want's to clean pee and poop up from
a dog for two years? Not I for sure.
If it's done right your pup will be trained by 6-7 months old.
It will not die of thurst or die of hunger. Let's talk real and
not nonsence.
I did it monitoring food and water. It worked so who's to say it's
wrong? Buddy was not damaged nor did he die. He's healthy, happy,
loved to pieces and spoiled rotten. What more could you ask for?

If people would stop taking one sentence turning it around and running
away with it causing trouble YT would be a better place for learning
instead of making poster's feel attacked. If someone get's results
they are doing something right, right?

I am sorry but you can leave water down 24/7 and still train a dog to pee outside.......done all the time. It is not rocket science nor does it require you to be rude. You talking to someone that takes very much to haert training and the right way to do it and understands fully just how many dogs out there are not trained end up in pounds and mentally not funtioning.

I greatly like to think that 12 weeks is far to young to leave a dog alone without water or food well if you think it fine great have at it.
But you can worry about kidney damagae or hypogicima and undersoicalization and that kills and gets them in pounds as well.
I have trained a dog at 8 weeks to pee and poop outside and left water down all the time.
