Hi! My 8 week old puppy is brand-new: 3 days with us! We are crate training him and he is taking to it really well but he’s peeing his crate at night - he never does during the day. He does not whine at night & he has a divider since his crate is sized to grow. We clean thoroughly whenever he pees. We’ve tried adding a 2:30 am walk (bedtime is 1230-630)- should I also take out the soft bedding? I read that could help but I feel bad for him on the crate floor! :(

At two months, Baxter likely needs out every 1-2 hours, so that would mean going out several times in the night and not just once. I would switch out the bedding with a towel or puppy pad that is easy to clean in case he has an accident in between. As he gets a bit older, he should be able to go longer in between outings.
