Just read your last post. A Vet check may be in order. He may have an infection or some other problem. Please let us know how this turns out.

Yes, first, I'd rule out any medical problem.

Second, the moment I let Jackson sleep in my bed through the night, was the night he began sleeping through the night. lol. Granted, he was young when we started, and he would still wake up really early (he was only, like, 4 months old).

Jackson just knows not to wake me up unless necessary, lol. I've always snapped my fingers and said "lay back down" and he will. Not in a mean way (every one, I think, knows that Jax and I have a great relationship, I am not mean to him) and he knows not to mess with my sleep schedule, LOL. Of course if he really has to go, I can usually tell, or he "tells" me in his own way.... but yeah, I guess I lay the law down when it comes to my sleep!!

I puppysat for a 7 month old a few weeks back and the owner was like "Wow whatever you did- Toby now lets me sleep in on the weekends!" Ha Ha! I don't even really do anything, I guess the dogs just know I need my sleep, lmao.

If he does not enjoy sleeping with you in bed then this is obviously not a solution. As you say this is abnormal behaviour for him, so he may well have an infection. Tootsy woke us up several times a night recently when she was ill and she just wanted comfort. She stopped it as soon as she was well again, so it may be a good idea to see a vet just to be sure. I have found that if Tootsy does something unusual it is very seldom due to her being difficult. It has always turned out that there was a good reason, so now I always make sure she is well and that there is no problem. It really is worth a visit to the vet.

i am up at sometimes 5 sometimes 6 but always by 7 to take lola out. it all depends how much sleep she gest and when she wakes up but be assured when she wakes up she will bark to go outside. it all depends on their sleep patterns and how much they have slept during the day time
