| Crate Questions? Bella is almost 7 months old but after about 5 1/2 months I started crating Bella at night because she was getting to lazy to hold her pee or go on her pee pad during the night. During the day she is perfect (no mistakes). Well the crate works great and she almost goes right to sleep as soon as I put her in and does not wine or cry (I was very surprised). Anyways Bella is trained to go outside now with Ruby and I know how long she can hold it for but she still goes to the washroom in her crate and some times even in her bed #1 and 2 (Not every night tho). I take them out right before bed (11pm ish) and right when I get up. So I'm wondering what I can do about this? She never makes a mistake during the day but at night it's like she forgets all about her training Do you guys put food and water in the crate also? I put both in but she never touches her food so I decided to take it out. Can they go without water for a whole night? She's just really small (3lbs) and I get worried. Any suggestions would be great

| As far as your question "can they go all night without water?" most of mine do by their choice. Maybe you need to get up earlier? lol.

And that was only one of my questions. My main question was what can I do about Bella going to the washroom in her crate?

| My little guy is just under 4 months old. We brought him home at 11 wks. He has slept in a crate every night. I do not give him any water after 8pm. He also eats his last meal around 6pm. I am with him all day so I do make sure he drinks and eats enough during the day. He doesn't have any accidents in his crate. Our schedule seems to be working well for him. If Bella is eating and drinking enough during the day then I would take food and water away earlier in the evening. |

| My little guy is 2.5lbs now at almost 6 months and we stopped watering him after he is crated at 9:30 each night. He has had no problems with this for the past month since we stopped. When he get up and into his pack and play to eat he drink and pee then. Good luck in your fun! |
