Why does my dog pee on the floor early morning without waking me?

Question

I have tried everything but somewhere in the early morning hours my dog pees on the floor she doesn’t even wake me up. She used to wake me up to take her outside so last night I set my alarm for 6 am instead of 7 and sure enough there was already pee on floor... she doesn’t seem to have any pain she doesn’t lick herself it’s yellow everything seems in order...would love some advice.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this frustrating issue. If needing an early morning bathroom break is a change, I'd recommend starting with a vet visit to make sure she doesn't have a UTI, bladder stone, skin infection, or even organ function problem etc. Those issues all can all increasing the amount of water she's drinking, making her need to go out in the middle of the night. If there is no medical issue, then it's a house training problem, which is difficult at her age. Usually using a crate to re-house train as if she were a puppy is the most effective course of treatment to deal with this.
