Does your dog have access to water during the sleeping hours?
Mine used too until Bourbon started sleeping outside of the crate. We took it away while he learned to sleep outside the crate comfortably.
The others are looking for their water and I am not sure how much I should leave out now that at 9mo I would hope Bourbon does not pee at night if I leave it out.
Just looking for others who do or do not leave out the water at night.

Info for thought:
He has free use all day except an hour or two when in crate during day.
He has free use up until we all go to bed then the bedroom does not have a water bowl.
I am starting to re introduce this water bowl in the bedroom since my other older dogs have looked for it the past month. (Bourbon has been fully trained to sleep in the room for the whole evening.)

I used to pick up Lucian's water at night until he was about 5 or 6 months old I think. Ever since then it's been left down at night, and he's never had one accident.

Cool cause I'm gonna start leaving a bowl down during the night and I hope he does not decide to go nuts! Thanks for the that's what I was hoping someone would say.

My sibe has access to water at night and never has an accident. Faith has to sleep in a crate without access to water because she will have an accident if she's not in her crate.

So far so good. Started w just the bowl and little water with no problems increased the amout last night and I saw him go looking for it. No problems I am happy.

Yea mine has access to food and water 24/7 but she has a doggy door so accidents are not a problem

I feed raw, so my dogs drink very little water as it is. I leave water down at all times because I've never had an issue. Maybe kibble feeding is different?

Still no problems so far...I was afraid since he is a water hound during
The day that he mighr goe nuts at night. Luckily he take only a little if any at night.

thank god there is a thread about this.i was going to start a new thread if not. i recently learned that if i take the water away around 7 at night my pup won't have an accident through the night in her crate. she has free access all day and fed three times a day last meal at around 6 at night. just wonder if anybody else has had success with a puppy potty training this way? at least to get through the night mainly? she is 13 weeks old btw thanks
