Question
We have a new 8 week old retriever. Does she need to be taken out at night to go to the bathroom or can we do it before bed and first thing in the morning?

Answer
Usually at that age, goldens need to go in the middle of the night. After they turn around 4 month, they dont need to go during the middle of the night. Its a good idea to always take you dog to the bathroom before bed and and first thing in the morning. Its also a good idea to give her a class fo water before bed just incase she gets thursty duing the night. (8oz is good). If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. Bye.
