dear all, my cocker bitch is now 16 weeks and up and until the last few days has been the perfect puppy! she sleeps at night in the conservatory downstairs and we dont hear a whisper from her until we greet her in the morning. But the last few days she starts barking when she hears us moving about in the morning, and now she is barking when I am working upstairs and she is in her room. the easiest thing for me to do is let her upstairs but i firmly beleive she should stay downstairs.

Can anyone suggest how we best deal with this before it gets out of control?

many many thks
