Yes, I agree, and remember when you are withholding water you are not allowing the puppy's bladder to naturally grow and stretch, it may not need to pee, simply because it's dehydrated. Joey's breeder recommended free feeding that means having food around 24/7 to avoid hypoglycemia, and I kept water in his kennel at all times too. First think of health, than think of training. As I stated before, one hour for each month of age is maximum they should be made to hold it.
