RE: puppy up to early
My pup from the time he was three months old til now is sleeping in a cage. We take him out before going to bed around 9 to 10 and we take him out in the morning when we get up. That maybe 6 to 8 AM. He has never made a fuss to get out but if he did I would stall him and try to get him to be still later each morning. A cage is the answer or put him out in a run.
