My 3-month-old puppy pees inside at night. How do I stop it?

Question

I have a new 3 month old puppy and it keeps peeing inside the house at night. No one is awake so we don't see the mess until the morning. Is it alright to sleep her outside inside of inside? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 16 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Bailey is still very young and it is hard to hold her urine all night long at 12 weeks. I would remove her water a few hours before bed, confine her to a room or crate and set an alarm half way through the night to let her out. She will eventually in the next 4-8 weeks he able to hold her urine overnight. I wouldn’t put her outside this young, this behavior is normal for a puppy her age. I hope this helps and I wish Bailey the best!
