Good point. We always make Duke go out one last time before going up to bed. Even if he's sleeping someone we wake him up and put him outside. He's not always happy but he goes and knows its bedtime.

You could try to limit is water intake once its later in the evening and see if that helps.

Good luck, I hope you get some sleep.
