| How to control the barking? OK this little girl is 16 weeks as of yesterday. She is kenneled whenn we are gone. Then put in the kitchen which is gated off if someone is not able to watch her every second as we are working on housetraining. If we are home she is usually on someone's lap! In the morning she gets up every early to go outside about 5:30. I take her out she immediately relieves herself and then I put her in the gated kitchen to feed her. She immedialy starts yipping to be let out of the kitchen. I usually go back to bed (or try). I do not go get her when she is yipping but she is VERY persistent and she ends up waking EVERYONE kids included up. I wait until a quiet spell and then go get her out because I don't want her think I am getting her because she is yippinng. Any ideas how to curb this? Summer is almos there and my kids do not need to be woke up. |

| 1. Does she need to eat at 5:30? Why not take her back to bed with you? I let Loki out when I wake up for work at 6:30 but then he sleeps until I feed him before I leave at 7:45. When he was a baby we'd get up several times and go back to sleep. Also, he won't eat unless someone is around. We don't have to sit right there, but if I put food down and then go take a shower, he'll just come sit outside the bathroom door until I come out anyway. Then he'll eat when I go back downstairs. 2. You are doing the right thing by not giving in until she is quiet. She's only 16 weeks old, it does take a while. Soon she will figure out that crying does not get her what she wants. This is the same thing you do with crate training.
