Help with potty training

My puppy is 6 months old, and is in obedience school.
I work overnight, about 9 hours, and she is in her kennel from about 12:30 am- 9:30 am.
I usually sleep from about 5 pm until I have to leave for work. The problem.... I don't trust her enough to be outside my room without me. SHe also can't be trusted alone outside b/c she eats all the plants and gets really sick.
So I make sure to take her outside quite a bit throughout the day, and then when I wake up at around midnight... there is pee and poop all over my room.
During the day she knows to wait at the door to the backyard to go to the bathroom.... and about two hours before we go to bed I stop giving her water....
I don't know what to do???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may suck, but maybe you should get up once or twice while you are sleeping to let her out. It doesn't sound like its because of her sleeping pattern or anything. She may jus thave to go at that time. My AmStaff is 15 months and every once in a while I will wake up to her crying in my ear to go pee at like 3 AM. I don't love the fact that I have to do it but none the less, I get up.
What time are you feeding her at? Maybe try feeding her earlier in the day, or twice a day to evenit out. I usually feed harley at 4:30 - 5 PM, to give her lost of time before bed to digest everything and go potty before bed. Sometimes if I work late and she has to eat an hour or two later, that's when I find myself getting up at random hours for potty breaks.
Good LUck

 

thank you

thanks for your reply!!!

i usually feed her twice a day... once when i get home at 9:30 am... and then again around 3... thats about 2 hours before we go to bed....

if im awake to here it.. or if she wakes me up.. she usually jumps off the bed.. and thats her sign that she has to go....

i just think by now.. at 6 months she should not have any more accidents in the house...

 

Bed wetter

OK so devo has sarted this thing of peeing on the beds and his sleep place. I know he has night terrors but he does this when awake. He gets out prolly 8 times a day. And has finally started to go 1 and 2 at the same outing, but why the sudden peeing on sleep stuff? Anyone ....?......?

 

Allyson,
your right, at 6 months, there shouldn't be anymore accidents, but there is. I would honestly try feeding him his last meal about 4-5 hours before bed. In most cases he probably wakes up to pee when it is almost too late and has to go right then.

Good luck, I know its frustrating.
