Toilet Training Question

[mrs tornsocks]

I am definitely not counting my chickens before they're hatched but doing a mini :p as our 11 wk old lab slept through the night last night (he sleeps in his crate in the laundry) without crying for any toilet breaks. He went from about 10pm until 645am.

Previously, OH or I had woken up to let him out whether or not he was crying, for the past week or so he generally hasn't been crying but we got up anyway to help with the training (and thinking we would have to at another ungodly hour anyway).

Question is - should I now just wait for him to tell us when he wants to go (and hope that he's already capable of holding on thru the night ?)

tks.

Hello Mrs tornsocks

Kirri has actually been holding through the night for a few days already. As she sleep next to our bed, I hear her stir a few times during the night but she doesn't cry or scratch at the door to be let out like she did at the start.

When I get up in the morning and take her out she runs straight to her toilet area and does her business! :p

too bad she doesn't always go back to that spot during the day!

I say let Archie wake you up when he needs to go. And you can get some decent sleep again!
