Mine go in there gated area (both 11 months) and they make it 7-8 hours! I had them in bed with me up til last week, but they were too restless and would jump off my bed and pee on the floor they think carpet is grass??? Now they sleep all night with no accidents..occasionally during the day they pee on the wee wee pad and do occasionally miss it

But they try! Taking water early is a good idea! I have even put wee pads all over there area and slowly took them away except 1-2 that worked great!!! Let me know how you make out!
