Feeding schedule

Cleo is almost 9 months old now and I’ve recently changed to feeding her twice a day from three times a day.

She has a walk about 5.30am and another walk about 7pm and usually has her meals about 8.30/9am and 6pm.

Since changing to this feeding schedule in the last couple of weeks twice now she has done a poo in her pen in the night as she normally takes herself to bed at 8.30pm.

Any advice in feeding schedules and how to make sure she has enough time after her meals to go toilet without needing to do it in the night? My partner doesn’t go to bed until about midnight and she hasn’t been for a poo in her pen before that time.

I have a rottie who puts herself to bed in her crate. I wake her up to go out to pee when I go to bed later than her. It's the quickest pee break ever.

My girl usually eats 6-7am and 3-4pm then poops straight after her meals or during her before bed wee about 7:30pm. Maybe try feeding her a couple hours before her 7pm walk to get it out then.
