Hi All,

We are having a problem with our 11 week old yorkie puppy barking and crying early in the morning. He will usually bark for a short time at about 2:00 am, but will stop after a few minutes, but then at about 4:30 am he will start barking and will not stop until we go down to him. We have tried letting him bark through it, but we have neighbors who I am sure are hearing him, so we cannot let it go on for very long before we go down stair. We keep him in a crate with the door open which is located in a pen where his toys and wee wee pads are, so he can and does go to the bathroom when he needs to. We have tried keeping the crate closed, but had the same result. We try to play and tire him out before he goes to sleep, but that has not worked. I am not sure what is the best way to get him to stop barking. I know he is just lonely and wants to play, but we need to try to quiet him down.

Can anyone who has had a similar issue tell me how they have successfuly got thier dog to stop barking?

Thanks for the advice,
Randy
