Of course it's your choice, but I am telling you what will work. Trainers are also telling you what will work and it is NOT hazardous to your puppy's health. I have never heard of a puppy dying or going thru dehydration symptoms for not have water between 7pm and 5-6am. That is just ridiculous. But if it makes you feel better, you can give your puppy water and expect to get up more frequently, or give him an ice cube to lick on to help with his dry mouth after you taking him out and before you get him back in his crate.
I certainly would not tell you anything I wouldn't do or did not do.
