I am amazed that he is doing so well at almost 11wks but yes he does

. The first night I made sure to check on him every few hours and let him down off the bed

to pee but he didn't actually have to but once. The following night I set my egg timer but decided I wouldn't wake him unless he woke me or was awake. He made it from 11pm-7am that second night and has every night since

.

Other dogs I have had in the past have been crate trained and I made sure to get up at least 2 times during the night to take them outside until they were about 3 to 4 months old.

I figured with a small breed I would be doing the night thing for several months.
