Purrley, I agree with C.C.'s Mom 's suggestions on
how to react to this new wrinkle in puppy raising...My
dog Buddy did the same thing at one stage of puppyhood.
I would take him outside on leash, let him take care of
business & take him right back inside without talking
to him at all & then go back to bed.Only took about
a week till Bud learned he was not going to get to "play"
and he stopped wakeing me up. Jackie has a good
suggestion about leaving a radio on low to mask other
sounds that might set Tess off. I do that myself.
Best of luck to you & Tess . Liz
