When to take up puppy's food and water at night for potty training?

Question

We are currently trying to house train our puppy. He will go on the puddle pads (we give him treats when he does) but then he will still use the bathroom around the house randomly. He doesn’t seem to have signs of needing to go. One thing we wanted to try was picking up his food and water at night. What would be the ideal time to do that?

He can be fed dinner in the evening, then take up the water about 2 hours before you go to bed or out him to bed. He should be taken outside or placed on the pee pad just before bedtime. He should not be allowed to roam unsupervised inside as long as he is not fully house trained. He should be on a leash attached to your hip or crated. The crate should only be large enough for him to stand, turn around and lay down. Cues that he may need to go out include circling, whining, sniffing about or pacing.
