My Mum also has once of her sisters from the same litter and they reguarly play together.
As I said earlier she doesn't need the toilet when we get up to put her outside she just comes running back inside and wants to play or eat.
She was actually a lot better this morning and only made noise once she heard a loud noise from outside

I was not judging you, I was merely pointing out that no 11 week old puppy needs a water squirt as a training technique regardless of where their life started. I'm not saying I disagree with this tecnique par se as I have also used this way of training on a completely different problem with a much older dog after all other training tecniques had failed.
11 week old pups cry at night, fact! they do however outgrow it without water squirts. I'm sure if you were to talk to any reputable trainer or behaviourist they would say the same as I have.
