How Do I Keep A 16 Week Old Puppy From Barking So Much At Night When Everyone Is Trying To Sleep?

use to keep him in a large crate next to my bed at night, but now he doesnt like it I make sure hes gone potty first. Hes Shar Pei/pit mix male, very stubborn and headstrong. I bought him at 5 weeks, bottlefed him, and the person I got him from said he was Shih Tzu/papillion chihuahua. We are at our wits end. He runs after my 3 and 5 yr old and they have the scratches and bite marks to prove it. My husband has put his foot down Please help!

    This puppy was removed from his mother too young, and you will probably need to study dog behavior books or someone with experience to find a solution.  It's possible that if the puppy is awake at night, then he is not getting enough exercise and companionship during the day.  Puppies need to sleep a lot and this is not a usual pattern for a well-exercised young dog.
