I think our pups were born on the same day - Sunday 30th July?
I too am being woken numerous times during the night. Frustratingly my pup seems okay about peeing/soiling in his crate [emoji853][emoji853].
My problem is that no matter what time of night I take him out, he thinks it's play time when he's come back in, despite the fact that everything is in darkness and I don't talk to him (just say "into bed, night night).
Not that I'm wishing the time away, but this stage is really challenging...
Toilet training can be challenging and frustrating! Your pup is still very young & whilst we'd all like them to not to soil their create pdq it can take a while! At his age I think it's perfectly normal.
My American Cockers would have accidents in their crate up to 6 months old, they were the slowest to train or of all my puppies, & it drove me mad but our trainer reiterates every week that it can take up to a year.
Micah is 4 months old tomorrow & is now becoming consistent clean in his crate but there is still the odd accident. In the end I did not get up in the night to take him out as I still found he still soiled overnight, only ever pee, so I was having a disturbed night & there wasn't any benefit. I really think not getting up helped speed up his progress.
I'm at the frustrating stage where he can hold it all night in his crate yet sometimes he can't hold it for an 45 mins out of it! We've had a few days with no accidents though so I'm hoping it will continue.
Micah's breeder thinks boys are slower to train, I've only had one girl & the she took about 6 weeks but with the rest it's varied a great deal.
Try using primula cheese as a reward for toileting outside, squeeze a bit for them to lick off, seeing the tube becomes a visual cue in addition to your verbal one.
