Is he waking you up cos he wants a wee/food?

If neither of the above, then he just needs training that the family don't get up at this time. Establish a routine and he'll soon learn to fit in with the rest of you.

Does pup have his own bed or does he sleep on yours? If he has his own bed, then you can tell him 'No - go to bed/basket'. If he sleeps on yours then you could tell him to 'Lie down'. Keep it up and be consistant.

I have a cat that gets me up at 5am - do you want to swap? - at least I'll get an extra hour in bed if i trade for your rottie!!
