Night Problem
 

Hello Everyone,

we just recently got a 10week old male puppy which is amazingly intelligent!!! Without giving him any training he does most of his jobs on the paper as well and he is hungry he cries and goes to the kitchen and walks around the Puppy food bag.....amazing!!! We also had no problems leaving him alone at home...altough he does cry a little bit and then stops and starts to play with his toys and dissapears for a sleep in his Pet Carrier (which we have been using as his bed at the moment due to relocation plans), but here is now the point where our problem begins........

When we go sleep at around 22:00 the dog frequently wakes up every night at either 01:00am or 03:00am and makes his Pee but then starts crying and comes to our bed and tries to jump up, at first we ignored it but then he starts to howl like a wolf....and he also pose like one lol.....anyway once we have him in our bed, he starts sleeping and then we put him back to his Carrier and then he is fine for the rest of the night (without hotwater packs or radios) but this is keep going on now for nights and I wonder how I can stop it? I tried to keep the door locked to the carrier but he still cries because he needs to poo or pee.......further we tried to put in a hot waterbottle but he would start scratching on this and in fear that he might suceed in blowing up that thing we took it back out.
Anyone got any tips?

Another question.....is this normal or unique? At 10 weeks of age our dog like to ride all his toys as well my wifes arm or feet but not mine......Any tips?

Many thanks,
dpuz

even babies hump, at this young age it is mostly due to dominance. . . as far as the barking/howling, if he is so good about the pads why dont you just confine him to a small area with the door of the crate open, and if you dont want to reach down to put him on your bed you caould always build a little set of stairs

I love the stairs idea. I think I'll try that. My chihuahua can jump onto the bed and then it leaves Milo barking and wagging his tail to get up.
