I would consider it essential to use an ex-pen with piddle pads (I use washable ones because my Pommie rips paper ones) when house training a puppy or a rescue. Unless you are able to keep an eagle's eye on Maggie, she needs to be in the ex-pen. I have an 11 yr. old rescue Yorkie and to this day I don't trust her unless I can have her right beside me. As for peeing during the night.....when I was training mine I would set my alarm to take them outside. I also try to not allow my Yorkies to drink tons of water before we go to bed....especially my 11 and 12 yr. old Yorkies. One other thing, make sure that you use an enzyme cleaner where she piddles....on the floor, on doggie beds, or on blankets. I use Nature's Miracle and I'm quite happy with it. Blessings for giving a rescue a chance at a happy life. ~Joanne~
