So my pup is almost 5 months. She has been both potty trained and crate trained. She started pooping in her crate at night. She sleeps in her crate in the room with me. Every night for a week now she has pooped in her crate. I put her in the bathroom over night most recently because cleaning her and the crate and everything else each morning before work was far too much to be doing. So her 1st night in the bathroom she peed and pooped all over the bathroom, although there were peepads down and she knows that if she needs to go and can’t go outside to use the peepad. She totally didn’t not use them. This has only been a week, but is very frustrating. Even at 8 weeks she would wake me to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but has not done so this week.... Update (week 2) she has a new crate and sleeps on the livingroom, which allows her to see into my bedroom. For the last week I have been waking at 4:30 am and putting her in the bathroom, where she now pees and poops on the peepad, because if I don't she will use the bathroom in her bed. However the issue is getting her to sleep through the night again. I've tired a number of things. Currently I am feeding her once a day during the day. She goes around 1pm and poops and will usually poop again around 8/9pm. Bedtime is at 10. However she is still waking up to poop in the wee hours of the morning. She has been to the vet and her health is good. What can I do?
