JPrechel,

I know you can train dogs to use a litter box, but personally, I don't know anyone that has done this. Are you keeping him in a large crate at night with
the litter box inside it or in a gated off room with the litter box? I know
puppyhood can be hard on us, but really, if he has to get up in the night to
go outside, you must be willing to also - as his bladder matures, he will hold
it all night. When we got our Corgi at 11 weeks, he weighed 11 pounds, 3 ounces, and was already crate trained by the breeder and slept in his crate
the first night all through the night without a peep and has done that ever
since. You don't put water in his crate at night do you? because they don't
need water during sleeping hours at night and if you do that, and he is
drinking that would explain why he still needs to go out at night.

But yes, our Corgi seems to get warm after playing and loves to lay on the
kitchen floor which is ceramic tile and I am sure feels nice and cool to him.
