How to train my dog to use the dog door at night by himself?

Question

Hallo. We have a dog door that is always open. During the day my dog goes outside to do his business, but at night he wakes me up and I have to walk with him. Is it possible to teach him to go by himself. If so how? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old

You could try leaving on a few lights, maybe he doesn't like going out in the dark. I can't think of a good way to teach him to go by himself. You could try just ignoring his request at night and see if he goes outside to potty or starts to potty inside the house.
