Hello,
I am a first time owner of a seven month old frenchie. I’ve had him for about four months and he has been the easiest dog I’ve ever had as far as training goes. Nearly completely house broken (other than the occasional accident), understands basic commands, and is playful and gentile at the same time. However, he pretty consistently wakes up every few hours during the night and goes to the door to let me know he needs to go out. Is this normal? I have only ever owned larger breeds of dogs which can last through the night without needing to go outside. He’s been to the vet and is a healthy pup so I’m not concerned with any health issues. Just more so curious if this is typical for a smaller breed puppy and if he might grow out of it? Thank you in advance for the input.
Side note: he sleeps in my bedroom with me and is not crated at night.
