seem to do that!! Awake and wander at night!!</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have
had several puppies do that for weeks at a time and had to just let them roam in
a safe room. Sometimes i think more exercise in the evening energizes
them. Try to just take him out to pee quickly in the
evenings, no long walks down the road. Exercise him a lot early in the day
and afternoons.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3><FONT size=2 face=Arial>i have
even attached a large fenced area inside the house to the dog crate
so the pup could have the safety of a confined area and their crate at the same
time. Their toys are right in that confined area. They have to get
used to being inside that area. I get right in there with them at first
and put them in there several times a day, then they are used to it at
night.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My
puppies were always crated when we left the house until they were about 1 1/2- 2
years. Now they roam the house day and night and never hurt
anything. They are 5, 3 and 2 years. No more
crates!!</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I do
have a large outdoor gate for the large indoor laundry room so I can
confine them during dinner parties, houseguests who do not like dogs, infant
grandbabies, service repairmen, etc. It was pricey, but i never have to
worry about them jumping ovetr the gate, It is 6 feet high, or knocking over a
small gate!! </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
