10 wk old fox lab wakes up anywhere from 1-3 times at night to go out to potty. Generally he wakes us up which is fine. My question is that he barks and I was wondering if I’m sabotaging our crate training by having this happen.
In my mind he’s now associating barking with getting out of the crate and I don’t want that association.
Does The fact that I take him out, let him do his business and back into the crate help him not associate barking with being let out of the crate?
When he goes I just say “good”. Limit talking and interaction and back into he goes.
Maybe I’m over thinking but I’m trying to figure out the inconsistency in wake ups over night. Could just be a puppy being a puppy, which is totally fine.
