Also, our vet said to take away the water dish around 6-7 pm, and by the time you go to bed, the dog should be able to make it thru the night at around 10 weeks. It worked!
My final bit of advice comes from raising boys and dogs both--give them the rules asap and be consistent.
Good Luck and have fun with your new pal!

Be sure when you buy a crate to get to get a divider with it. Most of them come with it, it's a temp. "wall" that be be moved to adjust the size crate you want.
