Thanks for the advice, we don't got to bed until around 11pm and we put her outside just as we go to bed, we have tried putting her out in the morning but she just wants to play, we don't talk to her as we do this, we have also tried feeding her.

She has two or 3 toys in her crate all the time so she has things to play with, I am very reluctant to put her in our room, on Saturday morning I did get up and went to sleep on the sofa and put her in the crate next to me and she was quiet then.

We squirt the water as soon as we get downstairs from hearing her cry, she will cry until we are downstairs then she'll stop when she see's us.

Currently she's not being walked as she won't be having her 2nd vaccination until next week as the VET wanted to leave a 4 week gap between vaccinations so I need to wait until next week to walk her.

I would be happy to let her cry until 7am and we get up however I am worried about letting her make so much noise for an hour when we have neighbours who can surely hear her and we don't want complaints within a week of moving in.

We know that collies are very clever dogs and I'm sure that she is doing this for attention and that is why we do not talk to her except to tell her no, when she is being like this, she is a lovely pup but I was hoping that this crying would stop now, I may try the radio idea thank you
