Barking...sorry kinda long...

duke is 10 wks... we have a pretty large bathroom so he stays in there at night for a few reasons.. one he cant hold his peepee all night two he cant jump on our bed which is where max (2) sleeps so he will stand there and bark then when we put him up there him and max start to play and he gets down and starts the whole process over again and three as all us puppy owners know he chews on everything.. last night this little brat barked ALL night long or alteast until 2 then hubby gave in and put him in our bed... by this time i was too tired to deal with it hubby held duke and max slept on my side... but the barking drives me crazy if duke rides in the car he barks at me the whole ride... when i go somewhere and put him in the bathroom hes barking when i leave and barking when i get back. now i get being shut up in a bathroom isnt paradise but i would think he would get tired of all the barking?! anyone have any ideas on how to stop it or what im doing wrong?

You can't give in to the barking. And he's probably doing so because he's seperated from the rest of the family. Have you thought about a crate? That way you can place it in your room and he can be close to the rest of the family, but contained.

yea well we have one for our other dog but havnt gotten one for duke yet i was trying to get max out of that one since he hates it anyways he only goes in when were not here... we gave in and let him sleep with us last night we didnt even put him in the bathroom first but he did good he didnt pee or poop in the bed thank god... so were gonna try the bedroom thing, and i puppy proofed the bedroom today so maybe this will work out thanks =)
