won't walk on leash and potty run middle of night

Hello and Help! our little rescue dog will not walk on leash, afraid of my husband and always wants to go out to do his thing in the middle of the night. Anyone have any suggestions?

To walk on a leash, you can try to entice them with a treat held slightly in front of the dog. Also if you have another dog in the house, have someone walk them in front of your rescue dog, and coax them to follow.

We are fostering a rescue dog right now and have 3 dogs already in our home. He did quite well following the other dog (along with gentle tugs)

The potty run, is your dog on a regular feeding schedule? Feed pet once or twice daily. Give them 20 minutes to eat, then remove food. Don't leave food in bowl at all times. Limit water after 6 or 7pm. Take pet outside right before you go to bed. If that is all in check, then your dog might have you do a potty run because it knows you will.
