| What is the longest time held #1? How much does your pup weigh and what is the longest theyve gone without going pee. Here is my dilemma.... Mya is 7 months and potty trained to go outside. Well I KNOW she can hold it from like 10pm to atleast 8am....as she has done it before...But recently she has been waking me up at like 5 to go pee and I hate denying her because I want to reward her for coming and waking me up to go outside and she pees right away. I have tried taking up her water like 2 hours before bedtime and make sure she pees 3 times before we go inside during her bedtime potty. In every other circumstance I am the alpha dog to her, why doesn't she let me decide when we wake up????? I have a hard time being mad at her because I am SO proud of her for being potty trained. She is 8.8lbs btw so her bladder isn't even that teeny!!

| 27 hour pee strike My two year old is quite stubborn. She only likes to pee in her yard. However, we went to Toronto for the weekend and she really wasn’t a fan of the pee park across from our hotel. It took her 27 hours to decide that she actually had to be badly enough that she could pee in the park. So the ironic part of it all is that THIS particular dog would like to get up an pee 2-3 times during the night! So her 27 hour pee strike taught me that she only needs to get up to pee at 1:30 a.m. when I get up. However, regardless of if she pees in the night, she is up at 6 a.m. (which is fine because that is what time my husband gets up at ON WEEK DAYS). |

| My Mufasa CAN and HAS held his all night long but he also knows that whenever he goes potty that he gets a "cookie" and one night he woke my husband up 4 times to go potty. He is waking up and decides he wants a little snack and knows going outside is his ticket to the treats! lol As soon as he wakes hubby up we take him whether we just took him 10 minutes ago or 5 hours ago........we don't want him to stop telling us so what are ya gonna do? |

| She may not understand you don't want her to wake you up. You want her to tell you she has to go during the day, so she can be let out ... she probably just assumes it's still O.K. to tell you , sleeping or not. When she is sleeping soundly for those 7 or so hours she may not feel the urge to go , but then if she gets awakened , she will have to go. she doesn't have any concept of time. Sydney is 3 yrs. and the longest I make her wait is during the night ( last out at 9 p.m) until around 7/8 a.m. but she can and has held it for much longer. When she was a pup I took her out every two/three hours round the clock for almost six months till she could hold it longer. Chloe is only 2.5 lbs. so we pee-pad train her. One night I forgot to put a pad in her pen, It had been 6 hours and she was sound asleep , with no accidents , so she can hold it if needed ( she is 8 months)

| Mine is between 1 1/2 and 2 lbs. She's trained to pee pads, and from 11:00 until 7:00, she may go on her pad 1-2 times. I never put her water up, as I want her to be able to get a drink whenever she wants. They can usually hold thier bladder for 1 hour for each month.(7 mos 7 to 8 hours). I think mine would do better if we made her go pee before going to bed, but, sometimes, she'll be sleeping for 3 hours before we go to bed, and we go ahead and put her in her cage without making her go potty first. I think yours is doing really well, and part of the job of having a puppy(if they're trained to go outside) is having to get up to take them out. Probably another reason I like pee pads |

| The one above me I just noticed, said dogs don't have concept of time. They don't as far as knowing how to actually tell time, but, believe me, they know time. We feed out outside dogs at 5:00 every day. Well, at 4:55, you can look outside and they're laying down usually in the grass, you look out there at 5:00 and they're at the gate waiting. My other ones also know when 7:00 a.m rolls around, and they start barking for their treats. So, even though they don't know time in the sense we know it, they do know time in their own way |

| Roxy is 8 mts now and I take her out around 8 or 9 at nite.......she will bark a lil sometimes around 2 or 3 am. If I tell her quiet, she will usually quiet down until 4am.......but that's when I'm usually up anyway. Then she's out 4 or 5 times and back to bed when I go to work at 6am with my daughter and sleeps in until 10 or so........I would love her to sleep until 6 am on weekends but must be she can tell time and not days???? lol.... |

| Dolly, out tiny bit yorkie, 2.8lbs at 3yrs-old, can hold it for 12 hrs with no problem, day or night. at first I was quite concerned, but then, she proved it to me thats just the way she is. on the other hand, our chi, 5lbs about 4yrs old, can only hold it for 6 hrs during the day, and 10 hrs, more or less, during nights. I don't think weight's got lots to do with how long they can hold, but I think at least, they should be able to hold on for 8-10hrs min at night, a lot of times, its all on their minds, set up an solid schedule for last and first potty trip, then try to convince her that this is the routine unless she really really needa go (probably somethings wrong).

| Mine wake up when it's light outside, they don't care if I want to sleep in. I get up and let them out and feed them (depending on the time, no breakfast before 7 or they want dinner at like 2:30 ) Anyway, then we all go back to bed. An hour or two later I can barely wake them up, they just roll over and wag their tails a little and go back to sleep.
