When she would wake me, I took her to a small bathroom and let her use a puddle pad and have a drink, then it was right back to the kennel. She did better with this. It wasn't long before she made it though the night. Now she sleeps with me and if she needs to use a pad, she justs walks up and down on me until I wake up and put her on the floor. She will use her pad and come back to be picked up. I hope this helps.
