We get up just after 6am every day though the dogs would easily last longer. They have their last wees at 10pm.

Due to illness, one of the dogs wakes me between 2.30am and 5.30am, and has done for the last 3 months ... 6am would be a positive lie in for me, although it does occasionally happen  |

Everyday at 5.30am [only because they have gotten used to me getting up for work then, including weekends].It is very rare i have to get up during the night with them, only if one is poorly.
our previous whippy Tigger got me up twice a night for 15 years bless her, it started to happen after she had been spayed.

I love my dogs! They don't move until I do. During the week Mark gets up for work and the 4 who sleep upstairs with us never move. 3 of ours choose to sleep downstairs and one of them (big Joe) normally trots out for a wee then back on the sofa, the other 2 never shift until I get up.

I usually let mine out about 11.00 and they last all night until about 7.00am with no problem, it is the cat that gets me up in the night sometimes three times a night.

How long have you had your dog, if not long then she may still be working on kennel times. I have found with my dogs, they can go for hours and hours at night without a wee. They generally don't get up until I do.

Last wee around 10.30. I get up about 7.00 am. Reggie goes out straight after his breakfast. Lola waits until 10 minutes into the morning walk, which is around 9.30! The only problem we have is if there's a distraction when out last thing (cat, hedgehog, neighbours coming home) they "forget" why they're out and will wake us with a song in the middle of the night....  |

We generally go to bed around 10 - 10.30 pm and my alarm goes off at 6.15 am. As soon as I'm down after my shower, the dogs are out and then fed. If we're up later then they wait, no protest.

I'd take her for a short walk at bedtime to give her chance to empty completely till she gets into the habit. I always walk my new fosters at bedtime for the first couple of weeks, before just using the garden at bedtime so they get used to emptying fully last thing at night, which they do more on a walk than just a garden trip out.

So last night last wee was 11.30, I was down at 6am and she'd already wee'd. In the evening after tea she'd had a wee, then wee'd in the house 10 mins later. I'm considering crate training - though this maybe difficult as she's got used to the sofa  |

Has she been checked by the vet for a UTI? This could be a medical problem and she can't help it.

We had lots of wees at first - but none overnight. At first Gizzi used to stress wee in the hall as soon as I went upstairs and shut the stair gate (during the day - they sleep in our bedroom). Lena used to drink masses and need to wee all the time, even when you thought she couldn't possibly want to go again. Eventually she stopped drinking in the evening so she can last all night. Now she generally drinks less but still wees more than Gizzi, but has it under control.
I suppose they're all different, but eventually both you and the dog learn how to manage the situation. How long does that take? Hmmm!
Merry Christmas all

I am assuming your dog is an ex-racer and probably was kenneled with another dog? It is possible, provided she hasn't got an infection, that she is simply missing her kennel mate. Perhaps she would feel a ittle less isolated if she were to know where you are at night? Could she sleep outside your bedroom door, or in the bedroom in her own bed? Single dogs in a household sometimes take longer to settle than if there were other dogs in the house - in a kennel environment she would have been surrounded by other hounds.
