Got a 15 week old cockapoo. All going well ( usual puppy mischief) but she's getting up once or twice during the night for the toilet. She sleeps in my room beside me and wakes me up to go out.
I know it's great she's doing so well re the toilet training is this just a case of age ?

The problem with letting her wake you multiple times through the night is that she will not learn to 'hold it' when required to.
It's great that she lets you know when she needs to go but she does need to learn that there isnt always the availability to go the immediate second she needs to go. I crate train mine over night. It took some time for my last one who was dry over night from about 7 months. I thought she would never get it!
She is still relatively young, but if you insist on keeping her in your room, i would start to make plans to teach her to hold it, personally i'd crate train her.

FWIW if you fed your dog correctly on a species appropriate diet, by that i mean raw food, they will rarely drink lots of water. They seem to get most of the moisture thay need from their diet. That said, i leave water down, but it is rarely touched.
