2 Hours at a time

Tugboat is our new addition. He is Brindle with some white on his nose down to his belly. We got him on August 24th. Here is my question. We are crate training him and someone is home most of the day. He is really only in the crate at night. He is waking up at night about every 2 - 2.5 hours to go pee, mind you during the day he will go longer without. I take him out before bed, and he goes. Is this normal or not? Everything I read says he should be able to hold it 4 hours. Am I doing something wrong?

We started clicker training last night. Working on conditioning. Anyone else had any success with Clicker training? Advise?

I read the thread about the bell. I am going to try that. Incorporate it into clicker training.

Am working on his leash as well. He hates it but I am sure in a few days he will come to like it.

On a side note: We have a house rabbit and Tugboat like to play with her, although she wants nothing to do with him.

Thanks for any advise in advance.
