What can i do to stop my dog?

my dog when she gets put outside she crys and it drives me crazy! and she always wants to play ball at like 2 in the morning! how can to stop this?
Answers:
To stop her from wanting to play ball at 2am be sure to play and give her plenty of exercise during the day. Give her at least two walks a day and spend at least an hour playing. It does not have to be an hour straight. It can be in 10-15 minute segments.
WHen is she put out? Is it at night? Many dogs have problems being out at night due to it being dark and hearing the sounds of wild animals. They may also have separation issues. In this case, invest in a crate. Dogs are den animals and sleeping inside in a crate may be more comforting than outdoors.
If you mean just being put out in general, go outside with her. put out some treats and fun toys. She may not hate going outside so much as she hates going outside alone.
Crate her, cover the crate, put her in it, and say nighty nite, see you in the AM
Well don't put her out in the yard and leave her there for hours on end. As for as her waking at 2AM and wanting to play, try walking her and exercising her before bedtime. Just like YOU, she'll sleep better if she's burned a little energy during the day
It may drive you crazy, but put yourself in your dogs position. It's not fun being apart from the people you love. This has been taught to her. When you first got your dog, it was like 24 hour joy and play. Now, how much time do you spend? Maybe you ought to change a couple of things that might help your dog out and in the end, will give you a good nights sleep.
Try bringing your dog in and crate em during the night and in your room.
