If your Baxter is anything like my Dunkin, you may not want to give him access to water at night (refering to your mention of the water buddy). Our puppy trainer told us that most puppies tend to OVER hydrate themselves. He suggested cutting water off by 7pm. This really helped us get through the night without accidents or potty breaks pretty early on. I just made sure to take him out as soon as we woke up, and I carried him out to make sure he didn't go on the floor on the way to the door.
Good luck with the little one!! |
