Thats exactly what I do. Put Alfie out when he wakes up and then put him back to bed in his crate until he wakes again whih usually means he's ready for his breakfast
It is always our German Shepherd pup who wakes first which wakes Alfie up. So Scooter(Adult GSD), Layla nearley 5 months and Alfie (Yorkie) 15 weeks all go out at whatever time and then all go back to bed for awhile.
Lay-ins are a thing of the past with dogs. But things will get better and the fact that your puppy is actually sleeping through the night is brilliant.
