YorkieTalk Newbie! | Barking at 5am everyday Hi! My yorkie has a built in alarm clock and it's 5am...how do I get him to stop barking? He sleeps in the kitchen (in his bed) and I am in my bedroom, of course. He doesn't stop until someone comes in. I know he just wants to see someone. He gets so excited when someone walks in to greet him. I won't be able to travel with him unless I can get him to stop barking at 5am. Can anyone help? |

| Maybe crate training is in order? They make covers for crates too, like cloth ones. Perhaps black out blinds where yorkie sleeps or a shared room so be can rest while you are? How old is the puppy?

YorkieTalk Newbie! | He will be 6 months old on the 22nd of September and yes it probably is time to crate. I was waiting until he could hold his pee most of the night. I thought about putting him in my room also so that he could see me because he seems to be such a clingy dog. He loves being around people. |

| Clingy dog?????? Yorkies want to be with their pack that is the type of dog they are. At 6 months they are still babies and need lots of cuddles, hugs, etc.

I had a cat that would come and wake me up in the bed wanting to be feed and if I tried to play opossum, he would bite my nose........not hard but it sure got my attention.

| My dogs wake me by 5:15 am every morning because they have to go potty every morning at 5:15 am. And I have to have my pups sleeping with me at night - always

YorkieTalk Newbie! | To be honest...I think he is waking up to pee on his pee pee pad and he is thinking that he is alone. So he wants some company. I go and get him and lay with him on the couch and he goes right to sleep with me. He just wants company. Maybe he will grow out of this. |

| Poor guy should be in the bedroom with you even if he is in a crate in the bedroom it's better then another room. He scared and alone poor guy.

| All I know is Jackson would never stand for being in another room away from me -- he would bark too. Jackson will often sleep in on weekends with me until 10am or later lol. It's worth him being in my bed. I love him being in my room though and I honestly can't imagine him not sleeping with me. He's been in my bed since 12 weeks old. No issues. In the beginning, we obviously were getting up in the middle of the night still but by 6 months old, no way, he was fully potty trained.

YorkieTalk Newbie! | Well, in my defense, I really thought sleeping with a 2 pound dog was VERY dangerous! I have a teacup and I have never had a dog this little. He can't even jump off the bed. If he did he would be seriously hurt. I slept on the couch with him last night and he slept pretty much all night. I realize he wants company but it is not safe for him to be on my bed. I will figure something out. I love him to death and want whats best for him. |

Sasha is a "clingy" dog. Her favorite place to be is in mine or Toni's arms. She always wants to be picked up and held. Max on the other hand is much more independent. We will come to me when I call and let me pick him up but after 5 seconds he wants down. But I have no doubt that they both look at me as the leader of the pack.

We had her ex pen set up next to my bed with her dog house in it (it is a dual story with the bed below and her dining area atop) and that gave her a pee pad spot too during puppyhood. Retrospectively, I cannot believe my lack of firm consistency in some areas raising Lilah! Especially now that my family has a young puppy I have been participating in the rearing of for the last few months I get to remember every single mistake I made with Lilah! Lol. Anyhow, she didn't last long in her own bed and as far as training errors this is not one I regret. I enjoy her snuggles between my neck and shoulder or on my lap and she seems to get along okay. I was not pleased to come home one day and find my husband proudly standing over the 'new improved' and really freaking high bed frame he built and we have had to accommodate for that but still. Co sleeping has worked for us but I think I would crate train my next pup first and eventually allow her to 'graduate' to the bed.
