Does your yorkie sleep through the night? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ralphie and Agnes have held it all night since we 1st brought them home as babies. Ralphie would sleep all day if I let him. Sometimes I worry if he drinks enough water because the little stink NEVER wakes me up to go potty, even of I sleep in really late.

We are truely blessed. Little Dudley will be 4mo. old the 15th of July. He sleeps through the nite and goes out about 7:00am to tee tee and then he eats. He will let me make coffee without a peep until I get him out of his crate. Kayla would wake us up about 2:00am every morning to go tee tee when she was little. This little darling has been so good, I just can't believe.

My girl slept through the night probably starting around 7 months. Before then at around 5.5 months, she was able to hold it in for 10-11 hours when she went with my husband to work while I was out of town. He had a pad out and took regular breaks to take her outside 5-10 minutes at a time, and longer during lunch, however, she still refused to go. She'd hold it until she got home and ran straight to the pad. This was the case for 9 days straight.

However, once I got back from my trip, the nights I didn't wake up in time to her pacing for needing to go, she'd just go on the rug in the bedroom. We only lay out one pad in the house for her to go to the one place.

Fast forward, she's over a year old now and she has been sleeping through the nights without needing to go in spite of having free access to a bowl full of water in the bedroom which she has been drinking almost all of during the warmer evenings. She also stocks up on dry kibbles 1-2 hours before bedtime most days. She gets to eat whenever she wants. We do make sure to take her to the pad just before settling in for the night and first thing in the morning.

All my babies go to bed pretty early at night but before I go to bed around 11 everyone goes potty. That usually will get me to six. Sometimes the two younger ones Maya 1 yr and Brody 9 months will wake me up because they have to go. They use the potty pads but I guess they like company.

Right when my alarm goes off for me to wake up, Rupert starts jumping around the bed to help me wake up :P He is so cute

JD sleeps thru the night too. In fact none of my dogs so far have been restless at night, they all just were snug as a yorkie in their own bed cushions. Called me blessed..

jfalz73 · 06-21-2009, 09:44 AM

All of ours sleep through the night!! Thank God!

Shelby&Seymour · 06-21-2009, 09:50 AM

Seymour has a bladder the size of a pea........ actually it is the normal Yorkie size bladder, but his owners got up with him in the middle of the night when he was little and it developed into a habit. The little guy wakes up and paws at you then stands at the foot of the bed...... rarely does he sleep the entire night like Shelby does.

gzarr · 06-21-2009, 10:07 AM

Isla will sleep through most of the time. But she likes to go to bed early--8:30ish--so if she's too tired to go potty when I go to bed, she'll want to go in the middle of the night. It's not very often, but it happens about once every 2 weeks.

Most of the time she just wants to go out potty around 5-6 am. If it's closer to 5 she'll come back to bed. If it's 6 or after I'll leave her out with the big dogs to play as they are usually up then and I go back to bed. It's never the same!!!!

BellaRose08 · 06-21-2009, 10:12 AM

11:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m. everyday.

makhro · 06-21-2009, 03:32 PM

My boys always sleep through the night. Bedtime is about 11:30 and wake up time is whenever me or my fiance wake up. The only time they get up in the middle of the night is when they are sick. One night the smaller older puppy was crying like crazy in his crate. I just thought he was whining to get out, turns out he had diarrhea! So mommy no longer ignores middle of the night whines

wemple2 · 06-21-2009, 05:55 PM

Winston sleeps all night without needing a potty break. The only thing that wakes him at night is T-storms...oh how he hates those.

lizzie1955 · 06-22-2009, 07:54 AM

Yes, Becca sleeps all night; however, and it is a big however, it takes forever to get her to sleep. At around 10pm every night she and her brother (Fletcher, my Ragdoll Cat) have their crazy hour. They run wild chasing one another. Becca rarely settles down until 11:30pm to 12:30am. I know I'm home free when she gets up on the bed with her sucky toy (don't ask!!), takes a drink of water out of the bottle we keep beside thebed for her. Inly then will she curl up and go to sleep
