How to stop your puppy from whining at night

There is a small puppy in the house. In the first week, hosts shouldn’t expect a normal 8-hour sleep. The baby, cut off from his mother, brothers and sisters, cries at night from loneliness. You cannot scold him for this, otherwise he will grow up to be a nervous and aggressive dog. Almost all puppies are trained to sleep quietly at night by the age of 16 weeks. With the right approach, you can achieve this sooner. A 6 month old dog is not a problem at all at night.

The calmness of the owners depends on where the puppy will sleep. For the first time, it is better to place your pet in your bedroom. He will have a better chance of settling in a new place and falling asleep with people, rather than alone. After all, the baby perceives the owner or hostess as his own mother. But don’t take the puppy to your own bed. He, of course, will immediately shut up, but gradually he will get used to sleeping in bed, and it will be very difficult to wean him from this.

If it is not possible to take a pet to your bedroom for the night, you need to place it in the nearest room. You can turn on soft music, a fan, or a white noise generator. A low, monotonous sound calms and puts the puppy to sleep.

The nighttime calmness of a young dog is highly dependent on its activities in the evening. The more she gets tired, the faster she falls asleep. Here are some ways to help your puppy fall asleep quickly:

· Active walk. Owners should take the pet to the yard or park and run around with it;

· Games at home. You can use balls, rubber toys, etc., forcing the puppy to jump, run, frolic a lot;

· Food 3 hours before bedtime. If the dog goes to bed with a full stomach and bladder, the owners are guaranteed a stormy night. But small breed dogs must have access to food and water. In this case, you need to ask the veterinarian how to organize the feeding regimen of the dog;

· Prevention of evening sleep. Puppies sleep a lot and often. Many of them like to fall asleep in the evening. This should not be allowed, otherwise the baby will sleep well, and will want to frolic at night.

Thanks to these actions, the dog feels healthy fatigue at night and falls asleep with people.
