Puppy wont sleep

[Tonkin 0]

Hi there my 3 month whippet x collie has settled in well and slept through the night since we brought her home. She would wake between 6 & 7 which was fine, but for the last week she is waking at 1.30 and going mental I let her out for a pee which she's not that bothered about and put her back in her crate she then goes crazy again. Any ideas? Never had this problem before any help would be much apprecaited.

sounds like shes trying it on mate, she's worked out that if she makes a racket you let her out instead give it a bollocking, only let it out when its calm and quiet it will soon learn

Have a puppy that would make a noise after putting it to bed, if I go in and puff up the bed he quietens down.

 

Is the crate covered and are there things for it to chew etc?

only thing i can suggest is more exercise maybe,and well grubbed up for the night,and never give in to it,it has to learn you not gonna come running at every whimper

Put some whisky in its milk?! Lol!! Joking apart, it certainly should of settled in by that age. I agree, give it a bollocking and only let it out for a pee once its quiet. As with kids it has to learn that there are ways of asking for the same thing that get different responses.....please may i go out gets a yes ok and hyper yapping gets a smack on the nose and a shout of shut up! And as watchman sais, plenty of exersize, preferably just before bedtime.

put the crate by your bed so she can see you , it will reassure her

calms them down better then each nite move it further and further away, until partially out of sight. the dog is just associating making a noise lets it out. you cant tell them off for being a puppy.this pup hasnt long left its mother and it will settle better being close to some one, there master. its part of crate training for pups. as for anxiety through seperation - its a pup you cock, you can seperate more and more eachday
