    Up at Night?
    Is it normal for my 9wk old puppy to cry at night when she needs to go out to potty? She has cut back from two times a night to 1, but my husband is fussing saying a "dog"( that's what he calls Abigail when he is upset) should be able to hold it all night. I don't expect her to until she is older. Also when I let her out at night, she goes potty and then back in her crate and straight to sleep; so I know she is not doing this just to play. Thanks!:p

    Sounds like you have an axceptional puppy, so if she cries to go out, then I would put her out. Your husband is so wrong. She is only a baby at 9 weeks and doing quite well in my opinion. You want her trained well, or your husband will really complain.

    She is way to young to hold it all night.

    Your husband is very much wrong. A "dog" can hold its potty all night, a PUPPY certainly cannot, especially not one that very young. Young puppies do not have good bladder control, just like any baby. I'd say you are extremely lucky to have a puppy that lets you know at that age, and that asks to go out that little. You should be considering it a blessing!

    They have little bladders and they can't hold much in them.He should be pleased she is giving you warning and not piddling all over the house!
