My Labrador is about 15 weeks old. The past 5 nights he wakes up at about 3am and starts barking and whining non stop until we let him out (he stays in a kennel). He never used to do this until recently, my theory is that he thinks it's time to start the day at that time and is ready to go. He could also be starting lose his baby teeth and maybe that's causing this behavior? Has anyone experienced this and have any advice to get him to sleep or stay quiet until an appropriate time?
I've always let my puppies out at night.. but no play, no cuddle, just take them out to pee and back in the crate. Are you sure that he doesn't have to pee? 7 hours is a long time for a puppy to hold it.
Sometimes he has to pee, and we will go out for him to strictly handle his business but then he will wake up once again at the usual 3am time barking non stop
