Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. Scout is very young still and this is likely just a phase he will go through and likely will not continue long term. Some things you can do to help prevent this would be to feed earlier in the night so that when he goes out to the yard, he urinates and defecates and does not wake you up to let him outside. You can also try NaturVet Quiet Moments Calm chews and exercising him regularly to see if that helps him at night and will hopefully prevent any issues in the future. I hope this helps! You can also try the Adaptil dog collar and see if that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
