Put a windup clock in the kennel with the puppy. They SAY that works. Never had to do it myself.

Pepper didn't have any night barking, I had a t-shirt from her dog bed they gave me that I put in her bed. (which was with Mom).

My other two dogs when first brought them home slept with them leashed to me with news papers on the floor in the leash area. They never used it though.

My first dog, Penny, used the bathroom for a kennel when I went to work. Put newspapers all over the floor. After a couple of days she always went in the same spot so only put the papers there and praised her when I picked the papers up and threw them away. After a week she never used the papers again. After 2 weeks she was house broken and didn't put her in the bathroom any more.

When I came home Penny was always barking. Once I parked down the street and sneaked up on the house and listened. She didn't make a peep. When I drove the car in the driveway or opened the door was when she started barking.
