Hi team, our 17 week old Cockerpoo has suddenly started weeing in his crate overnight. Since we got him at 10 weeks he's always slept through from 10pm - 5:30-6am with no problems. He'd whine and we'd open the crate and let him out to go to the toilet but for two nights in a row he's wee'd in his crate without making a sound. We've only noticed when we've got up to let him out at 5-6, the usual time. Any ideas why this could be happening?

Hi , have you changed anything your dogs food maybe, is he drinking more.
Could be a urinary tract infection thought that is more common in bitches .
If it continues I would get a sample of urine for a vet check to rule out a health issue.

Do you make sure he is 'empty' before going in his crate. Letting a puppy out alone does not guarantee a puppy relieves itself, they are easily distracted . Best to go out with a puppy and reward with praise when they 'go' so it becomes a pleasurable experience they will wish to repeat .
