With Jack I found that if I let him sleep in his travel crate in our bed room, he's much quieter. We have a regular wire kennel in our kitchen that he stays in when we're not home, and at first I was trying to get him to also sleep in there at night. Well every morning as soon as the alarm clock went off he'd be up and telling us all about how we should be up too. (he didn't realize we're a 2 minimum snooze button family
)
Anyway, since we've moved him into our bedroom he's been much quieter and lets us snooze to our hearts content. I know many families believe no pets in the bedrooms, so I'm not sure if that would work out for everyone...but it's working so far for us.
