My parents and I have had our now 11 week old Goldendoodle for 2 weeks! She is super sweet and very smart. All has been well aside from a few accidents inside at the beginning which I know is normal when they’re adjusting. She knows sit and will do it without treats, walks down the stairs to the front door to signal going outside, and hasn’t been barking when I leave her for 2-2 1/2 hours in the crate during the day!
Main thing I am struggling with is nighttime in the crate. The first week she went in the crate around 11:30-12 ish, and we woke up at 6:30-7 ish no barking, we would just get up and let her out. This past week has been a bit different. She has barked around 3:30-4 a couple nights in a row to the point where my mom had to get up bc she wouldn’t stop. She let her out, then came back in and fell asleep for another hour or so.
I know puppy progress isn’t linear especially when there’s so many breeds out there, but I’m just kind of stuck and unsure what to do. Do I start letting her out in the middle of the night even though she has gone 2 weeks without it no accidents? If I start now will it throw off her routine? Any advice is appreciated! TIA
