Question
I have an 8 week old GSD and was wondering can the puppy stay in its crate all through the night or is it necessary to take it out during the middle of the night?

Answer
Hi,
Congratulations on your new addition.
Feed your puppy for the last time around five pm. No water after nine pm. Take her/him out as late as possible for the last time prior to going to bed at night. Preferably eleven of so. Baby should be able to make it until maybe six or seven. Remember an eight week old puppy is an infant.
Enjoy
