Any tips for getting a puppy to stop crying all night..
Discussion
Got an 11week old puppy and toilet trainings going well but night time is abit of a chore.
He goes off to sleep in his bed then we sneak off upstair s but then he either poos or wees in the kitchen then howls..
Whats the best way to go about this?
Am i right in thinking i should go down during the night and let him into the garden and then stick him back in his bed with no fuss? Hoping that eventually he'll learn that crying doesnt mean we'll come down?
Any tips appreciated as me and the mrs are walking zombies!

Well put him to bed last night after having a wee and a s
t and an hour later he was whining. Got up as i was still awake in bed and he'd had a little wee but still took him out giving as little attention as possible. Quick stroke on the head to let him know i still love him and off to bed i go, listening to faint whining downstairs. Alarm goes off at half 1 and i go down and hes had a poo but again let him out, again not giving much attention, howling last about an hour then he stops. The mrs was meant to get up at 4 to let him out but she didnt wake up so i was expecting lots of st and wee everywhere... Went down at half 6 and nothing on the floor and hes snuggled up in his bed!! Woohoo. Did his morning buisness in the garden to lots of praise and well dones!
Think ill be sticking to this plan as this is the way my dog at the parents house lives and hes been just fine. Don't really fancy a crate as id rather he piss on the floor instead of trying to hold it in.. Will only get better as he gets older and can hold for longer.

Well first night without any accidents! And he let us have some sleep!! Let him out at half1ish and then woke up about 6! Had a little excited wee when my girlfriend got up but i think ill see how he gets on without the crate. I have bought one because hes going on the road with me today to my office and suppliers. Even okayish with the collar and lead i bought last night but this is just to take him round the office car park for a wee as hes not had all his jabs. Overall really pleased with how hes coming along!
