In my quest to make Woodrow an indoor dog at night, I am wondering about water consumption. He's 4 months old tomorrow, so I know that he doesn't constantly have to have water and food available like a newborn pup, but I'm wondering what time of night I can take away the water? Should he not have any after 7 p.m.? If he goes from 7 at night until 6 or 7 in the morning without water, I am afraid he will be super thirsty. Or will he be okay? Thanks!

He should be fine, he may be thirsty in the morning, but he won't be so dehydrated that it would cause him a health problem, IMHO. Once he gets the hang of "holding it", you could move the time a little later, say an hour each week. Good luck.
