My puppy is about 3 months old and has been crated at night since she was 7 weeks. She goes into the crate at night on her own and does not whine or cry. She is finally sleeping through the night without a potty break, but I have one problem. She has been gradually waking up earlier and earlier. She first slept until about 6:30 which is early but acceptable, but now she has worked her way to getting up at 5:15. I will let her out like a potty break (no talking, walking or playing, straight outside and back) and then try putting her to bed again and ignoring her, but she just barks constantly until I get her up at 6. I've even started to set an alarm for 6 to associate the sound with getting out of the crate, but that's not working either.
