My sweet Hope Joy is almost six months old and still gets me up twice per night to go outside. She is my first Yorkie, but certainly not my first puppy... I make sure she has plenty of attention, exercise, play, and love before bedtime. Her crate is next to our bed and she is content to fall to sleep as soon as she goes to bed. Her first time out during the night is 2:30 a.m. for pee and poop. She refuses to poo before we go to bed... Then again around 5 a.m. we go out again.

I have tried ignoring her but she will go in her bed. Something I didn’t expect...
I’m not sure if she is waking from habit, or actual need?

You who have been through the Yorkie puppy stage, how long before your’s slept all night? My vet told me to use children’s Benadryl but that doesn’t phase her...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
