My poodles were very little and young when they came home many years ago. They did get up during the night a couple of times for a while. I would take them outside to potty in my backyard ( you could use wee wee pads it would probably be safer), they were given a little snack of food and then returned to their crate. We didn't play in the middle of the night because I wanted them to learn that the dark times were times for quiet.
Good luck |
