Pups mostly pee and poo 1-5 minutes right after sleeping, eating and playing. If you take care that in those times you take the pup out and say "good girl" when peeing outside - it will soon understand what the point is.
Never blame them for urinating inside the flat by pushing their nose into it! They just don't get what the point is!
And never punish them minutes after the thing is done - they can connect the act and the corollyary (here: punishment) only for about half a minute!

Edited to say: yes, you expect too much, at this age they can not keep it for the whole night.


ATB,

By making a mess do you mean pee, poo or both?

Small cage at night: most dogs won't mess in their own bed. And if it does then at least there's no mess around the house!

Used a crate with my bitch and it worked wonders she crapped in the crate a few times and was so horrified never done it since

What you need to remember with dry food is that most of what goes in comes out again, main ingredients being "filler", and with dry food they also need to drink a lot.
Maybe consider change of diet to raw and only feeding after she has exercise/had an empty.
