How Do You Stop A Puppy From Whining At Night?
It is natural for a puppy to cry on its first few nights away from its mother and litter. According to The Monks of Skete, authors of “The Art of Raising a Puppy,” this is reminiscent of a defenseless young animal’s reaction when it finds itself separated from its pack in the wild at night. Your puppy’s crying is a sign of intense fear in a strange new place, and it is stressful for both dog and owner. Reassuring your puppy of your presence and his safety will help reduce his fears at night. Stop feeding your puppy at an appropriate time in the evening. At about 7 p.m., take away the food and water, and take your puppy out to eliminate before you retire. This will limit the number of times she will need to do her business during the night. Prepare a place for your puppy in your room. Proximity to you will reduce his nighttime fears and loneliness. Lay an old blanket or an old bed sheet in a crate or a cardboard box next to your bed. Ensure that the crate or cardboard box is big enough
