Hi I have a 7 week old pup.
She sleeps in her crate at night and I am training her on puppy pads at the moment.
She usually cried once in the night at around 2am to go potty, I let her out and as soon as shes gone I put her straight back in the crate.
If she cried I egnore her and she soon goes back to sleep, she then wakes up crying at around 7am for her breakfast which I give her then we have potty time, 10minutes cuddle time and then she usually falls back asleep for a few hours so I put her in her crate.
Through out the day I have her downstairs to play with a puppy pad and her food and water present.
She plays in the living room with her toys and has only ever had 1 or 2 accidents.
I also have a play pen with a small bed and puppy pad in just incase I need to leave the room and I cant take her with me, that way she is safe and I know where she is
