Why is my 6-month puppy crying and scratching door at night?

Question

My 6month old puppy has recently started not sleeping through the night. She cries and scraps the door, any suggestions on how to over come this? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund miniature | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 29 days old

If Roxie was sleeping through the night previously and has stopped, you may need to keep her from accessing the door. I usually recommend crate training to help keep them safe at night anyway. If she's getting up to use the bathroom I would make sure that she doesn't have any diarrhea or urinary problems such as an UTI.
