Depending on when you crate up for bedtime - 10 hours or whatever is a long time for a young dog to hold it. If it's not a cry to pee, then yes, wait and see if she stops and goes back to sleep. |
I usually dont get more then 4 or 5 hrs of sleep a night so Kali is rarely in her crate. But yeah i do think that was her problem at 5'ish (she did have an accident) witch was actually suprising to me because we never had that problem while she slept in the bed with me. Last night was a little better but then again i didnt make it to bed till around 4 or 5 in the morning witch is my usual. and we were back up and around by 9am. I just didnt have to deal with this at all with Mars he went straight in his crate and slept all night from the first day i made him sleep by hisself.
