In Reply to: Crate training at night................?? posted by silly on November 25, 2002 at 23:17:38:

The rule of thumb for the little ones is one hour per month of age and add one hour. So... there is no question that she will catch on faster if you do get up with her a few times during the night. The trick to housetraining is to not give them the opportunity to make mistakes. Easier said than done, I know. My dogs took a bit longer to train as I am away more than I really should. The dogs don't particularly care and I am realistic with what I expect of them. A pile now and again is NOT a big deal. That's why steam cleaners were invented. The more often you can reinforce the good behavior, the more quickly she will become housetrained. Good luck!
