Moses used to do this too when i first got him. he sleeps in another room and that way i can get my rest. he whined & barked at first but after ignoring him for a bit, he quieted down. Now he never whines at bedtime. he's also eventually developed the same sleep habits as the rest of the family. so now he wakes up at basically the same time everyday. i'd say it just takes time to get into a certain routine whether they are in your room or not. HTH!
