My Jack Rusell has decided to do that too! I finally put him in ds room to sleep. He won't wake him up, but he will yap and claw at my bed at 3 am! So, when he starts doing that, I send him to ds room! I let all 3 of mine out at least 4 times before bed, but, my Buddy doesn't want me to sleep!

Is he an older dog? I know as I have gotten older, I have to get up at night when I didn't used to! My bet is the dog is like me -- would prefer to sleep through the night but can't.
I also think a trip to the vet is in order in case it is a bladder infection.

I know how you feel....When we had our 1st Old English Sheepdog, (OES) he was just 8 wks old. We had him gated in the kitchen. Every nite at 3:00 AM he would bark. The little bundle of fur was in the corner sitting up. He had "pooped on his papers" and didn't want to smell it.
So darn funny.....
Know we have Bailey (OES) He got crated and loved it. Well, 14 mo came and he would start scratching on the bottom of the crate, at 2:00 am, pushed his quilt out of the way....We finally told him he could sleep upstairs. No more problems. LOL

I have 1 (big old dog) in the house. He does this thing where I try to get him to go out just before I go to bed, so by the time I wash, brush teeth etc, and turn out the light - he gets up from his (couch!) and wants to go out. I watched him one nite to see just what he did, he wandered around and finally had a poop! I asked the vet about it next time we went and the vet said dogs pee thru the day but only poop once. My dog had this nite cycle. I took him for a lonnnnng walk a few diff times and if he poops on a walk he doesnt bother me at bedtime. Im retired (and old!) so getting up doestnt bother me cus he doesnt bark to go out and I usu hear him moving around cus Im awake anyway! I have to get up too, lol share t

Maybe try some earplugs for awhile, and once he realizes you're not going to get up & let him out, he might start sleeping through the night. I had to resort to that, and it was hard to "give up control" of actually hearing what went on in the neighbourhood at night :roll:
