Getting the first nights with your puppy set up so that you start as you mean to continue can make the difference between a calm, quiet puppy at night and one that keeps you awake all night and stresses you out. In the fourth video of the all-new 'Puppy Training Journey', I discuss the various elements to consider when crating a new and young puppy at night and how best to move towards a situation that allows you as well as your pup a good night's rest.
Managing various factors such as water intake just before bedtime and allowing adequate exercise (think more romping about) in the day all help your puppy to settle well in the crate and to eventually sleep until a reasonable hour that allows you to function in the day also.
Looking after a puppy is more work than many imagine and so addressing this key factor (a quiet night) is essential to allow you to remain in good spirits and to keep your sense of humour along the way.
I have carried out many puppy behaviour visits that address nighttime behaviours as the main issue and have seen many an owner tired if not exhausted due to being diligent and getting up numerous times each night to help the puppy settle. If this applies to you then you may find some essential tips in here!
