BULLDOG PEES IN HIS CRATE AT NIGTH

Question
MY BULLDOG PUP PEES IN HIS CRATE IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT IF I DONT WAKE UP TO WALK HIM. HE IS 3 MONTHS AND THE VETS SAYS THAT HE'S IN GOOD HEALTH. AT NIGHT THIS IS A MAJOR PROMBLE HE DOESNT LET ME SLEEP. HE WAKES ME UP EVERY 2 TO 3 HOURS TO WALK HIM. IF NOT WALK IN THE MORNING HE WILL BE COVER IN PEE, AND HE ALSO BARKS. I HAVE A FEED SCHEDULE FOR HIM AND I ALWAYS WALK HIM BEFORE AND AFTER MEALS. MEALS ARE THREE TIME A DAY. I WALK HIM FOR 30 MIN TO 45 MINS. IN THE DAY THIS IS A PROMBLE TOO MY WIFE GOES TO SCHOOL AND I WORK. SHE ALWAYS WALKS HIM BEFORE AND AFTER HIS 2ND ANS 3RD MEALS BEFORE GOING TO SCHOOL. THE PUP IS ALONE FOR 4 TO 6 HOURS AT THE MOST. WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG???? WE PRAIS HIM WHEN HE DOES HIS BUSINESS OUTSIDE AND NEVER HIT HIM. HE GET LOTS OF PLAY TIME AND OUTSIDE TIME. BUT WE HAVE TO COSTANTLY TAKE HIM OUT EVERY 2 TO 3 HOURS OR HE WILL PEE IN THE HOUSE OR THE CRATE. THE FIRST CRATE WAS SMALL BUT HAD ENOUGH ROOM FOR HIM TO STRECTH AND STILL PEE IN IT. SO I GOT A BIGGER ONE BEACUASE HE'S GROWING FAST. WE LOVE HIM TO DEATH BUT I NEED SLEEP HELP!

Answer
The puppy is behaving perfectly for his age. He's barking to tell you he has to go out. That's more than most do. He's just a baby and will probably pee in his crate for at least another month or so.

You might try not feeding him late in the date, no later than 5 p.m. and pick up his water dish no later than 6 p.m.  Take him out as late as possible and see if this helps him get through the night.

You're doing everything right, but you have to be patient and give him time to grow up.
