Ha, if only he was still a puppy. He's almost 15 months old. He has just started to become stubborn lately. Gotta love those teenage yorkies.

This way, pup learns that he gets to get up/go out when the alarm goes off, not when he demands it. He should start waiting for the sound of the alarm to get up (if you do is slowly enough) and you should eventually be able to get him to wait until your normal getting up time. |
Yet another great piece of advice. I'll try that. Thanks for all your help - you're great!
