We just recently got a female schnoodle. This is my first inside puppy so I'm new at this. We have her on a feeding schedule and take her out every 30minutes to every 1hr to try to make sure there are no accidents inside the house. She does great during the day. But when we put her in the crate at night, we wake up to pee and poop. I know that's probably normal, but I just don't want her to get use to it. I want to crate train her at night and while we are gone until she is a little more grown. Thanks for any tips or help. Oh and one more thing. I'm a clean freak so when I find her in her crate with pee and pup I want to bathe her right away but I know I can't bathe her everyday so any tips on something like that would be great. Today I just wiped her paws with baby wipe and used some freshener spray from pet store.
I'm not asking for negative comments. This is a schnauzer/poodle mix. Very popular where I am from and many other states. Also just because I have a puppy doesn't mean I have to stop being a clean person. I didn't pay a high price for her because she is a mixed breed, although her mother is a silver poodle and her dad is a party mix schnauzer with papers. Where I am from you can begin selling pups around 6-8wks and she will be 8wks old in a few days. Thank you for any HELP or TIPS. I didn't get on here to be blasted and ridiculed. Thanks.

One more thing is she is a toy pup so I have her in the smallest pet taxi crate. she can stand and turn around. :)

well for a while still, considering she is too young too be legaly taken from her mom in most states and western countries, where the lower limit to seperating mom and puppy is set to 8 weeks
you should take her out around 11 pm and get up around 6 am and take her out, if your lucky in a few weeks she may be able to hold it through the nigth for 6 to 7 weeks, but it variates from puppy to puppy, bladder controll isnt as good in young animals as adults
asuming this is a mix between one of the smaller poodles and schnauzers, but basically if you bougth a designer mutt the likelyhood is it comes from a mill or otherwise irresponsible breeder, you got no idea of what follow up it have from before or which genetics
and you need to realise that with some dogs they have issue with holding it for more the 6-8 hours through nigth till they are fully grown, so dont expect her to sleep long nigths, take her out late and up early
a puppy is a lot like a baby in amount of work, something many people dont realise when geting one..its not that easy to raise a puppy, the only upside is it do grow up faster then a human baby
put some newspaper in part of the crate, but with her background she likely have an established bad habit of going wherever she is when she need to go, so it may take some time to get her used too not doing that, but basic gist seperate the crate in two halves, one with paper and one with blanket, and make sure to change blankets thats been soiled so she dont smell pee there and keep going, and make sure to clean the botom under the blanket well, dogs smell better then us, if it smell like a toilet why shouldnt she treat it like one?
have you had her to the vet yet, if not if i were you i would to get a check up on her health as with designer mutts the breeders rarely have, so it really is nesicary to get a one over with them so you dont have something untreated in the dog either...just as a general added tip, and btw as i know some take it negative i dont see a mutt as a negative, it is just a terminology for a mix breed dog, and they can be excelent dogs, but you need to be extra causious when you got one from someone who tried to sell it as a 'breed' because they are often in it for the money and will cut costs everywhere they can to make as much money as posible, which means its often bad breeding and no health care involved...which isnt the puppys fault though, but i know people who have waited too long and the dogs had diseases in them and they end up loosing the dog or paying quite a bit in vet bills to save them...so its money well spent to get a check up on this puppy

To older dog owners: What has changed with dog training, tools used to train and how dogs should be raised?
~Julie~
My grandma came to visit and she kept commenting how cruel dog crates are, how they never used them back then and how she can housetrain a dog well without the use of a crate. She also commented on how gentle leaders are rediculous and how they never existed back then either (we use one for when my dog goes to the shelter for play groups since metal/choke/prong collars are not allowed, otherwise we use a prong and sometimes choke chain) So i'm just curious, what has changed in the dog world? What are your opinions on the way it is now and how it was(on dogs, not the whole world)? Also, please don't think i'm trying to insult your age, i'm just curious!
Answer
HUGE changes in my lifetime.
40 plus years ago...?
If kids and dogs were naughty, they got smacked, no one thought anything of it.
Chokers were a REQUIREMENT at dog training classes, as were hard corrections where necessary.
If your dog needed a prong for you to hold it safely - You used one.
But mostly everyone only used either a flat collar or choker. They were your 2 choices.
Treats were not used in training class. Ever.
Dogs did as they were told because they had to, not because they got a treat.
Halters were for horses.
Harnesses were for horses pulling carts or sled dogs.
Dogs frequently roamed the streets, having a great time. No one thought much of it, so long as they stayed out of trouble.
If it attacked someone, or chased livestock. It was shot. End of story.
As a result dogs were usually 'well exercised', and slept when they got home, resulting in less neurotic behavioural issues.
(I am NOT suggesting it is advisable to allow your dog out to 'roam the neighbourhood', but I AM implying that many 'problems' people have with their dogs ARE purely as a result of lack of exercise and stimulation).
If a dog had temperament problems that were deemed dangerous.
It was usually shot or put to sleep.
This is because human/childrens lives were deemed more important than the dogs.
No risk was worth it and there were no "behaviouralists" to go to.
People didn't dress their dogs in clothes.
Dogs walked on the ground (sometimes even on lead!) and were never carried in hand bags.
There was no such thing as "poo bags".
If you wanted your dog to have a treat. You gave it a raw bone. Yum!
ALL dogs ate raw meat and bones. Everyone knew that fact.
This was because they are decended from carnivores/wolves.
No one EVER suggested differently.
Even slightly stinky old raw meat at the back of the fridge was usually deamed 'ok' to feed (again, I am not saying this was necessarily a good thing).
Salmonella was what humans got, if they ate old meat.
Dogs were always fed the house hold scraps (anything the dogs wouldn't eat went to the chooks).
Cooked bones, even back in the 70s, had some suspician regarding feeding them...
But you usually fed them anyway, because they loved them.
You stopped this practice only when your (or a dog you knew) died from bowel impaction/purforation.
Dogs were NEVER fed a vegetarian diet!
WTF?
This is because, it never occurred to anyone NOT to feed a carnivorous animal meat.
Just as it never occured to anyone to feed their cows or horses a meat based diet.
Most peoples dogs lived outside, not in the house.
There have been so many changes over the years.
Some subtle, some not.
Some for the better, some not.
But one things for sure, kids and dogs were better behaved back then.
I am not saying that makes the old methods right.
I am just sayin...
EDIT:
I nearly forgot!!
There were no computers and no internet, and no Yahoo Q&A to seek advice from.
Generally, if you had a problem, you asked someone OLD who had owned lots of dogs and had a lifetime of experience, OR you asked a vet.
Also there was no such things as "Designer Dogs".
Dogs were either purebred or mutts/mongrels.
Neither was thought of as 'better' than the other.
Each dog was judged on its own merits.
No one had ever heard of a "Teacup" dog.
If you wanted a really small dog, you got a Chihuahua or the like.
