Our puppy is 11 weeks,we've had her for 12 days. She goes in her crate at night but she howls and howls. We've done everything radio/hot water bottle/ one of my tops/lights on/lights off/got her up for a pee/left her to cry. Nothing seems to help except us actually being there, then she stops.

I'm beside myself with it now, we don't want her sleeping in our room but I can see how people go down that route!

It's really spoiling my enjoyment of her, leaving me stressed and tired. Last night she howled from 11pm until 4 am when my husband went and slept on the sofa. We're exhausted and worried we're making things worse as there's no improvement.

Help please!

Their bladder and bowel muscles aren't fully formed till16 weeks, so they have little control over holding pee in till then.
Our puppy is 5 months old and I just about toilet trained (although we're very lazy about training her and don't mind the house being used as a toilet).
As they get older they're able to hold it in for longer, but you could get up once or twice a night and take her outside using your toilet prompt word/phrase.

Are you putting paper down? In a week or so just try taking it away..if no wees or poos then good but if she does then carry on for another week and try again.

Hi, no she just shredded the paper. She pees on the doormat and on the floor elsewhere if the doormat isn't down.

Hmm maybe not ready yet then, what breed is she? I'd keep the doormat down for a couple of weeks still.

Thanks, she's a black lab.
