Q. Our 10-year-old cocker spaniel has always been perfectly housed trained. Now, however, it seems that he needs to wake us up at 4 in the morning to be let out and fed. I tried to just ignore his requests as we do let him out at 11 p.m. before we go to bed, and in the past he was quite content to wait until 7 a.m. But if I do not let him out at 4, then we wake up to a mess on the floor. Any advice?...
