Had my lovely puppy nearly 4 weeks he is now pretty much toilet trained and is a star out walking meeting other dogs and coming back when called, however at night he goes to sleep ok (doesnt cry anymore) but last night he woke up at 5am and cried I got up at 6.30 and let him out he had been crying on and off for an hr and a 1/2 and he did need a poo! I have been naughty and been taking him up to bed for 1/2 hr in the morningonce we have woken up (so Ive cause this problem) he can sleep from 10 through till 6.30 as he did tuesday night, so do I just let him cry and not let him upstairs to get him into his new routine, (so I can sleep)!!!

This is little buster now

ahh he's cute :) I would say - do not let him in your bed just for a while. Your training needs to be consistent - either have him in your room or in his crate (or where ever)

I caved in with my puppy and she now sleeps happily on her bed in our bedroom. She started sleeping through the night this way :) Good Luck x
 
Oh the pupster is allowed to come in and have a bounce/lie down if I am doing something in there, but not whenever he feels like it :p he is now struggling to fit on the sofa beside me though :o
This is what happens when Boydog gets on the bed:

I feel like a mean mummy now. I put my 11 week old pups in their crate at about 11pm and they don't come out until I get up at about 6-6.30 ish; they can howl all they like (and they do being mals :O ). We sleep with pillows over our heads - dreaming about how we'd like to put them over the pups heads lol

Actually, to be fair they are very good and usually only start whinging at 6 ish. We just have to wait for them to shut up before we let them out so they don't associate howling with freedom.

How cruel am I?
 
My friend who I was staying with last week has a new pup and it has the ODDEST voice I have ever heard - he started up at about 5am and you would have thought his leg had fallen off or someone was trying to kill him, when I asked later if there had been something awful wrong with him, friend said 'no, just wanted a pee' :o again, it was a pillow over the head job from 5am-7.30am :p and then my fella started because it was his breakfast time *sigh*
 
I too am a cruel mum and would just completely ignore it. Obi started doing this incredibly penetrating mastiff howl when we first got him and we just ignored it until he shut up then went down to see to him at a normal time. This took a turn for the worst when he started doing it during the day and mother in law would rush from next door to give him a cuddle and a treat. I knew she was doing it because he started in the morning again. Her excuse was she thought he had his head stuck in the baby gate. My response was "I dont care if he has got his head stuck in the baby gate (this is impossible by the way) just dont go in when he's howling". Obi dosent howl for attention anymore, and the mother in law has been "trained".
