Hi everyone, I have a question about middle of the night pottying. I am crate training my yorkie stella and she is doing great. I keep an eye on her when she is not in her crate and take her out if I think she is going to go. When I am at work I keep her in a section of my kitchen where she will go potty on pee pads (she poos where-ever tho). Stella is still very young at 11 weeks and even tho I know she can hold it through the night I feel bad making her do that. So i have been getting up when she starts whining and taking her to the pee pads to go (at that time of the night she doesnt always go on the pad so I end up having to clean it up. ugh.). I want to know if I am confusing her and if I should be taking her outside at 3am OR if I should just have her hold it until morning? I hesitate to take her outside that late as I live in the Philly area and do not feel comfortable going outside every night that late. If I make her hold it I feel bad. Any thoughts or advice on this is appreciated!
