FYI... I have a 16 week old yorkie. He wakes up every morning at 5:30 AM. So for the last 2 months we have had him, we have to get up at 5:30 every single morning because he is barking and whining. When I saw your posting, I thought it could help me. I must tell you...I am so tired and not sure what to do. I've heard telling them NO and hitting your hand against the crate to make a noise helps - this didn't work for us. I've heard putting a clock in the crate - this didn't work for us. I've also put a blanket over his crate to keep it dark- same thing...bark, whin, cry! The last attempt is to ignore him. We are going to try that for a week. If that doesn't work...his crate is moving out of our bedroom! I need more sleep... =) Best of luck! |
