My wife and I both work, but we are lucky that my mom can come over 2 times a day and let him out and play with him. At this point, I don’t mind getting up to let him out, it is the barking afterwards for 3 hours that drives me nuts. I am hesitant to go let him out when he barks because I don’t want to reward his barking with being let out of the crate. I don’t want him to think that if he barks, he will get to come out and play. It is just exteremely frustrating that before our week away from him, he was sleeping through the night, but now he wakes up at 3 and barks all night even after I let him go outside. When Foster was a pup, we would set an alarm for 3 am. Let him out. And set another alarm for 7 am. It sucked but was worth it to have the dog and was better than cleaning up messes in the morning. Maybe if you set an alarm and get up before the pup starts barking, he won’t associate barking with being let out. :dunno: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/puppy-training-help/199825)._
