My name is wayne i live in London with my partner and our 2 sons (5 and 3 months old). We have 8 cats from 2 yrs to 14 weeks old.

I suprised my partner two weeks ago and brought home a german shepherd female puppy called Mya whos 10 weeks, My partner wasnt very happy as she wanted to wait till my younger son was around 2 before we even got a dog. Recently Mya has started barking in the middle of the night as she dosent want to be alone, we have tried ignoring her and leaving her with the radio on, she still barks waking our baby up and our 5 yr old tired for school. The last few nights we have had her in our bedroom and she sleeps straight through till the morning.
my partner has said she dosent want the puppy in our room, but if i put her outside she will bark the place down again keeping everyone awake, what can i do to keep Mya from barking at night.

Also she loves my partner she follows her around everywhere, my partner was ironing and she slept down by her feet till my partner had finished, she even gets onto the sofa and climbs herself onto my partner and sleeps, but with me she is really naughty and wont behave she will pee and poo everywhere but when my partners around she will do it properly and go onto the trainning pads, what am i doing wrong.
