4 month old puppies are like 4 month old children...
they haven't got much control over their bodily functions. You have to be very patient with them, take them out after they eat or drink and wait until they go and praise them for being so good. Don't scold for accidents, you need to use positive training. They will eventually catch on. I don't think a 4 month old pupy can wait all night though, if they whimper, they probably need to out in the middle of the night.
Rule of thumb is...
They can hold it, usually, one hour for every month they are old (up to a point). So four month old dogs are doing well to hold it past that point. Good luck.
