I'm starting to observe a new tendency in my puppy... He goes potty like crazy during early wee hours!He became very good with pee pads and I only put him in the xpen during the night or when everybody's out the house. I feed him fresh food 4 times a day, and he always has some 'leftovers' in his bowl in case he gets hungry. I put 2 pee pads in his xpen each night, usually check on them around 1-2 AM and they're still clean. Or maybe there's 1 poop or so. Then around 7-8 AM I find at least 3-4 poops and quite a few peepees. His stools are normal, no diarrhea.... but the pads are soiled nevertheless. Anyone else having that issue? I try to get him really tired during the day, play with him, have him run etc most of the day hoping it'll have him tired enough and he doesn't protest when it's time to sleep. He doesn't whine at night anymore, only when he wakes up, usually by 7 and wants out. I tried crate at the beginning so I can let him out to potty but then he went in it and quietly back to sleep
