If you have a dog without a night time doggie door you might understand this statement. Trying to get our dog to pee sometime between 9:30 and midnight is a nightly chore. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes she is very uncomfortable by morning. However, ever since she became more of an adult and less of a puppy she has been generally better about this.
We don't have a doggie door where she can go outside any time she wants during the night simply because she is a 30 pound Blue Merle Corgi and very beautiful with one totally blue eye and one partly blue one. But, the raccoons and mountain lions here would likely eat her up in one night if we left her outside even one night here (or the packs of coyotes that we often hear howling at night especially on the full moon here in the forest on the ocean in northern California.
So, the nightly ritual goes something like this: "Are you going to pee or not?" "I'm not waiting outside forever if you don't and then you will be sorry because they you are going to have to hold it all night long until tomorrow morning. C'mon! Do you thing."
So, since 2020 in January when we got here I believe. she was born in late 2019 this has been a nightly ritual for us in order to have a really cool dog like this who is maybe the most intelligent female dog I have ever met in my life
