I'm Hayley, I'll try to help you as best I can. I'm 18, and a senior in high school. I like art, music, and clothing. I'm a vegetarian abd have been consistent with it for four years. I have two dogs a westie named misty and a Maltese/poodle mix named mally. I know a lot about dogs because any time
my dogs get a scratch, I research and call the vet haha.

I recently got a Yorkie. He's about 9 weeks old and I love him. The problem is that he waked me up in the middle of the night, EVERY night and I seriously can't take it. I play with him a lot so he can get worn out and sleep easier, but he still wakes me up by barking like crazy until I take him out. When I take him out, I take him outside to potty but then he just wants to play.

The other day he woke me up at 4:30 in the morning and then yesterday at 1:30 in the morning. If he needed to potty, I know he would of in his cage and his cage isn't small so I don't know what the problem is. We bought him one of those cages where he can walk around in so he has more space.

So, my two main questions are;

1. What can I do so he doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night anymore?

2. Everytime I pet him, he starts to bite and I know his little teeth are growing but he takes it for play so how can I teach him not to bite when someone pets him. I tell him no, but nothing.

Thanksss! I would appriciate any help that you can give. I mean I never had a dog before so I'm still learning. Thanks.

Ha. my puppy when we first got her, i'd play with her and everything, and she'd still wake me up in the middle of the night. she'd wake me up at 1:30 and then later on at 3:00 and then again at 5:30 i never ever got a a chance to sleep.

it doesn't take them to long for them to get used to sleeping by themself. however, right now, since there used to sleeping with all those other puppies and everything, they get lonely in that big cage. you should have started out with something smaller. so they feel safer. sometimes if you put a clock in there that ticks, it helps them fall alseep. or maybe a stuffed animal or something.

try taking her for a really long walk, right before bed time. he probably won't wake you up as much, or maybe not at all. little puppies have alot of energy.

yeah, my puppy would bite me too. what i did, was i would say no, and then i'd give her one of those rawhide stick twist things or whatever, and she'd chew on that. it kinda gives you a break from him too. ha

i hope that helpedd. if you have any other questions just askk me. (:
