Can I Get My Puppy To Sleep In A Pen Outside?

[Christina]

Not safe or advisable for a young or small breed puppy to be outside all night.

One snake, even a small one, attracted by his warm body or anything would be the end of him. Rodents, flies, bugs etc may be a trial too. The pup is a companion breed as well & would be miserable.

All my pups are toilet trained on newspaper. I have never, ever had even one puppy that has gone to a new home or any of my own continue to toilet on newspapers that I have put down on the floor or lounge when I have been busy & left them there.

Toy breeds cannot always hold on overnight when young. Tiny bladders obviously.

I had a JS puppy several years ago and we had her stay inside the house at around the age your JS puppy is in now. I just don't think that she's ready for the outdoors at such a young age. Back then, my puppy urinated inside the house even when we were already paper training her but she eventually learned to use the outdoors. Just take your time and don't rush your puppy. And as most people here has said, you can crate train her if you're so worried about her peeing indoors.
