toilet training

Hi was wondering if anyone has any advice,we have a 15 week old puppy named Harley who is amazing love him to bits, we r having a problem where he seems to wee and poo in his crate at night time and will eat his poo, he doesn't do this often with the poo but it does concern me, we let him out before bed and we get up in night after 3 hours to let him out he does a wee outside then back to bed we get up again 4 hours later and he may b dry may have weed, doesn't do this all the while. He is on royal canin dry food, I'm just concerned, any advice would b great x

Hi there, puppies can't hold themselves until around 6 months so he may still have accidents, I think getting up around 3am Is a good thing, don't speak or interact with him and put him straight back to bed then over time you can get up a little later each time and he'll learn to hold longer and eventually he'll go all night he will get there I promise
as or poo eating unfortunately some puppies do this, my girl at one still does it occasionally all you can do is discourage it! Obviously if he does it before you wake then you can't really do this it does change and does get easier

Why not come say hi :- https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/f7-new-member-introductions

Thanks for reply he is such a good boy, I wonder if I am expecting to much, he sleeps from 7 so we let him out at 9,12.30-1, 5.30. Hope he gets out of this as can't not let him sleep in a crate thru night as he would destroy the house.

My girl is crate trained and she loves her crate your times are great, he'll get there, he is still very much a baby & they all learn at different rates so he may learn other things quickly, and take time to learn this but by the sounds of it your doing great, keep it up we'd love to see some photos this may help :- https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/t12017-how-to-post-a-photos-onto-the-forum

Ok lovely thank u, think sometimes u just need to be reassured really, he is v good at everything else, I will post some pics of him. X

Seems like you are doing fine just stick with it and it will improve  

May be you are feeding him too much food or too late in the evening?
I would be inclined to keep him awake until you go to bed rather than 7pm then he may sleep through. Fortunately my 13 week old pup sleeps through 7-8 hours but we tire him out before bed. He is also in a crate.

We tire him out he can't keep his eyes open n sleeps around 7, we go to bed at 9 as r up at 5. His last feed is at 5 and he poos after that before bed, he doesn'. Always do it just occasionally, .

He'll be fine Jessie just keep doing what your doing

Thank you , will do x
