I would say definitly get a potty command going, and before you do any playing get the potty done first, I found with my dog she knew that after she went potty outside then we could play and not before, she was completely house broken at 9 1/2 weeks. So when you take them out for the last time of the night they just go cause thats what there used to, and you wont have messes over night. Hope this helps ya good luck

We have a 2 1/2 yo male Bullmastiff named Luka (who is the best dog we have ever had) and they get along pretty well. I am wondering if female dogs hold grudges b/c she is not allowed to roam the house free. She is tethered in the kitchen, is let out for play time and then at night we have her out of the crate for a little while, where she sleeps on the living room floor and then into her crate after we let her out. She can poop at that time and then still poops in the middle of the night.
Not a grudge or anything like that, but if the other dog is loose, I could see there being a little excitement and or frustration thats keeping her from relaxing in the crate.

Yup!
Still, IME, moving the dog around on leash (even trotting circles in the one safe area) might be (probably is) required to get peristalsis going for now. And for me, the potty command starts with a "good potty" praise to associate the word with the later command.
The potty command is a very good thing to aim for, but right this second the good thing to do is get the dog pottied out before bed, with praise or a reward that's clearly associated with "potty" or whatever your word will be.
