How do you get a puppy to sleep through the night? I am exhausted! Much more than I thought I would be! I am the only one taking care of Mason and he just does not sleep it seems. I let him out at night around 12:30 and would like for him to sleep until 5:30. To me that seems reasonable but maybe it's not. He did it a few times but now has been waking up earlier and earlier. He is in a crate and he barks and whines until I get up. It could be 5 minutes or 30 minutes. Today I waited because he was barking at 4:30. I waited until 5 and he barked the entire time. He does need to go pee when I let him out, but how old does he need to be until he sleeps a little longer?
I KNOW he is a puppy!!! I understand that and I was getting up in the middle of the night ever since I got him, but thought that maybe at some point he would sleep a little longer at night. I let him out all through the day so accidents are very rare now a days. I limit his water at night. Maybe I am just expecting too much too soon. I am exhausted! I do require more than 4 hours of sleep a night!!! I can't go back to bed so once I am up, I am up for the day.
Just thought I would ask if anyone has any puppy advice. He has been very difficult to potty train and has been doing really well lately. He actually goes to the door most of the time if he needs to be let out. I think he hates his crate but he is in it and does tolerate it for the most part.
Just looking for a little advice or maybe some sympathy!!!! Thanks!
