I will give it a go - thanks. I will say though they prior to these last few weeks he has slept through for a period of about 6 months solid without stirring.

He is the same side of the gate as us and has access to us all night. The gate is just to block access to the hallway and front door. We don’t take him out now - we did for a few days but it was evident he didn’t need the toilet.

He is not separated by the gate - we are in a small flat and the gate is just to stop him running out the front door when open. He has access to us all night but mainly chooses to sleep in his bed which is about 2 metres away from our bed.

Freddie is still asking to go out every night - sometimes more than once. He taps on the baby gate as if he wants to go out then jumps on the bed and goes to sleep having woken us up - then back to his bed after about 15-20 mins - a few hours later it is repeated. Any advice would be welcome...

Thanks. We leave his harness on so he can have his ‘free time’ on a longline at the park (working on recall) and also it’s handy as it has a handle so I can grab him in an emergency and for the car.

Thank you. I was kind of hoping that once he had learnt some manners that it could be transferred to the harness. When he is in his ‘breaks’ he is in the harness and I have noticed he is walking better so fingers crossed! 🤞

Sorry to hijack this post a bit but what are people’s thoughts on slip leads? My dog is 3 - has always pulled and I use a harness. I got a dog trainer who has told me to use a slip lead. I have been very hesitant about this and raised it with him and he said it’s only cruel and dangerous if you...

ah sor Ah Sorry - I should have clarified - I was taking him out regardless but after we changed his food portion size the night time poos stopped and it was evident he was just asking because he could and didn't actually need the toilet. I will stick with it and hope for the best. thanks!

I must admit I stopped taking him out as I didnt want him to get used to it and form a bad habit of asking each time. Do you think maybe I should take him out on the basis he realises there is nothing there to worry about and hope he gets bored? I was kind of hoping he would just stop asking...

So the saga continues. The night-time poos have stopped. We reduced the daily amount very slightly and it seems to have done the trick. However, he is still getting up 2-3 times a night and tapping on the baby gate to be taken out. I soon realised he didnt need the toilet and i just try to...

assume the nightime poos could just be a temporary side effect? its only be 2.5 weeks on the new food with no proper transitioning.

fair enough! thanks. Will try and stay on the food and adjust timings - just cant deal with constant night time poos!

I must try that. I have just been reading something interesting... I didnt realise that they digest wet and dry food at different speeds. He never had this problem on wet food - only dry food. Have reached out to wolfworthy and they said to try changing his last feed to either earlier or...

so the wind has now stopped and we are faced with nighttime poos! if its not one thing- its another!

Oh look at those ears! He is gorgeous! ❤️

Thanks. Going to stick with it a bit longer and see how things pan out.

He is nearly 3 years old. Was being fed on years food but now on wolfworthy. Currently approx 100g a day (slightly lower than the amount recommended but just seeing how things settle before increasing) No wind last night or this morning - toileting still ok.

I just wondered if could ask for any info from those experienced dog owners on here. I have had to change Freddies food as he was ill last week with diarrhea and ever since will not eat his normal food. This has made it very hard to transition to a new food as he would just pick out the new...
