Yes, they started him last visit at 12 weeks old on it. I think we're doing it wrong. He knows to go outside, and when were not around, he goes on the weewee pads. But we were reading online, and they keep saying to get up every 2 hours during the night and take him out. We been doing that up until this week, but it was killing us. My wife works at a hospital during the night shift, so nights she's working 7pm to 7am, I'm up every 2 hours letting him out, not getting any sleep all night, and neither was he

Last week we just started to shut all the lights out, after 10pm. He knows now, when the lights go out, he yelps for about 10 min, then goes to bed

When he's up, like now, he took a nap from 6pm to 8pm when I woke him up, I stay in the kitchen on my IPad the whole time with him, until after 10pm, then I leave the kitchen and lights off

Ever since our last Yorkie passed at 14+ years old! our cat that grew up with him! really whines around late at night before bed middle of night, and then at daylight

The cat started whining this morning at 6am, woke Chester and me up.

Last night was a bad night for Chester. When my wife works the night before, she comes home at 8am from work, and plays with Chester till close to 10am, then she's in bed, cause she has to wake up at 4pm to start to get ready for work

So he sleeps all day, plays with his toys in the kitchen doesn't whine. Problem is, he gets so much rest during the day, he's up all night till about 1am

I do have to laugh we have a fenced in yard, and he's been going out in it to the bathroom since we got him. Now, at 15 weeks old, he is so fast, he runs 100mph all around the yard

We bring a ball out their and he chases it all over the yard like crazy

We had to put him on flea prevention , he had fleas at 12 weeks old with the cat. Now he doesn't since we have him on it. But the last vet visit, he had a good amount on him

We're waiting till after the next vet visit, to put down a bug control in the back yard on the lawn. The vet said wait till he's done with all his shots before doing it
