Puppy Toileting Troubles

[Studebaker]

Hi,

We have two 6 month old German Coolies desexed females (and a big 2 1/2 yr old entire male).

I have had the devil of a time house training as they get busy, forget where they are and almost go on the run!

We now have the daytime toilets pretty well sorted as they wait by the back door (no noises, barking or scratching- they just stand there in the hope I will notice).

The night time toilets are another thing. They go outside at 10-11pm and do what they need to do, go off to bed and I usually wake up again around 3am to let them out again. One of them has learnt that they can wake me up and I will let them out and she goes outside to pee.

The other one will piddle inside and then come and wake me up. I praise her for coming to tell me (and then find the puddle next to her bed )

So how do I tell her off or get her to realise that she needs to ask first and then go?

PS. They are regular with their pooping so haven't had a problem inside for quite a while (except if they have a small tummy upset)

Have you done any crate training with the two pups?? I would probably look into that as it will teach them to hold it during the night and dogs don't typically pee in their crate (or wherever they sleep). I would think that 6 month old Coolies should be able to hold their bladder overnight, unless they have a UTI or something...

Once they have been trained to hold it overnight you can continue getting them to sleep in their crates or you can let them sleep wherever.
