| commented answer | How do you stop a 6 month old puppy from crying and barking in his crate at night? Thanks Laura! I failed to mention I house sit in the pet parents home. His crate is in the owner's bedroom but I sleep in the guest bedroom. You're right lack of sleep is rough and during that weekend I was lacking in energy to care for 2 dogs. I left a note to the pet parents and asked if they had any suggestions. Hopefully it was a phase and the puppy will be better next time. |
| asked a question | How do you stop a 6 month old puppy from crying and barking in his crate at night? The 6 month old puppy I dog sat for wakes up during the night by starting out with wining and then proceeds to barking. The puppy normally gets fed at 6 am, but woke up 2 different times, one at 4:45 am then the next night 3:30 am. After 15 minutes of him being persistent, I put him outside thinking he needed a potty break, but he didn't need to go out. At that point, he's wide awake and is not interested going back in his crate. Even if he stays up later than his bedtime, he still gets up during the night. His crate is probably triple his size which includes a few bones to chew on and a dog bed. Any suggestions? |
