Goodness gracious! You poor thing!! 3am?? Hmm.. has ever gone to the bathroom in his crate at night?

I feel so bad for you! I know some people leave water out all night, but I don't because Roxie is trained to go outside- never in the house. So I do take up water between 8:00pm - 8:30pm, after I am sure she has had her fiill of water because we walk each evening. I take her out the last time around 10:00 pm. After I knew she could hold her potty (and the vet gave me a guideline) when she would wake up- I would just whisper to her " Quite" and she caught on that 2:00am was not the time to wake up. But now she is like an alarm clock and hates to be disturbed

anytime before 6:00 am on the weekends. Plus she is a bigger Yorkie then some at 6.5lbs so she can hold it a good while!

All I can say is be patient. Caleb used to do the same thing and cry in the early morning when he had to go out. Since Jeter (love the name) is about six months he should start sleeping later in about a month or so. Caleb sleeps til 8 now, which is when we get up, but he sleeps longer on weekends with us and gets up about 9 or 10.

Oh yeah, Caleb is 9 months now.

Bella is 5 months as of Tuesday and she is up at 5am every stinkin day! She is in a crate but I think she would prefer in bed with me... I would NEVER get ANY sleep that way! She is way tooooo wiggly!! But I guess she is doing better... when she was 4 months she would wake up at 2am to potty and at 5 am... she at least dropped the 2am routine

BUT... she is so darn cute... I just have some coffee and watch her zip around like a nut!

Maggie has always gone to bed at 9PM. When she was little, she would wake up at 4. That got real old fast. I started taking her outside to PP at 4, then back to bed. Now that she is 8 months old, she sleeps from 9PM to 6:30AM You might try taking Jeter to PP at 5. Sure gets the pressure off.

Starsky has always gotten up between 5:00 to 5:30 am. Every once in awhile it may be even earlier. He is almost 10 months! If you all have any hints let me know!!

Mine sleep as long as I do or they will go get a toy and bring it back to bed.

WOW..Jeter has not had an accident in his crate in over 3 months. He too used to get up at 2 am in addition to the 5:30am. He has done the 3:30 am thing for 3 nights now. The thing that gets me is that he does potty and poop when he gets up at that time. He never eats after 6:30pm and rarely does he have water after 7pm. He is almost 6 pounds now and 6 months. I hate to ignore him in hopes that he will go back to sleep, fearing that he might have an accident. He hasnt had an accident in his crate or anywhere in over 3 months. I am a zombie, but he is happy as can be...so, I guess life is good.
