First of all I am excited to have people to talk to about my yorkie so hello. I have a 1 1/2 yr. old yorkie and technically it is my first dog that I have had on my own. I have definately made some mistakes thus far and don't know how to correct some of them. When we first got reagan as a 12 wk old pup she was very ill. She had a bad RI. My boyfriend and I wanted to keep a close eye on her so we kept her near us in bed (I know, a horrible mistake) but, since then she has stayed up with us and believe me has loved every minute of it. Lately she has been waking up so many times a night and is not going outside to potty or seems to be hungry. She just sits at the top of my boyfriends pillow and does that ever so cute but annoying whine. He or I wakes up and tries to figure out what she wants. We finally give up and tell her no and try to go back to bed. She is in a kennel while we are at work so, probrably about 6-8 hours a day and then we take her on walks or play with her in the house. My question is what can we do to make us sleep through the night without Reagan waking us up 10 times a night? Is anyone else had this problem?
