Answer 2

Know how you feel but he will get better!
When you get up to let him out, don't speak to him, don't touch him, just open the door & let him out. He's screaming because he wants you with him, so when you get up - he's won & he'll keep doing it. If you have him in a crate, you could try putting the crate by the bedroom door, so he can see you, or even in the bedroom, then, gradually, start moving him further away from the bedroom.
Some dogs do take forever to realise that they have to sleep on their own, but they do learn eventually. Make sure he has plenty of exercise & play before he goes to bed so that he's tired.
Good Luck. Sleep deprivation is a terrible thing!

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/NzvHv

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

I have a bichon frise and he used to cry all night and after about 5 months of it we got another dog to keep him company but he still cried but not as much. we got him a night light for the room where he sleeps and he stopped, then our other dog started so we used a clock which ticks (sounds like mothers heart beat) which soon stopped his crying. We also used an old teddy with a scent on it. hope this is useful

Answer 5

Make sure the pup gets plenty of time out of the crate when you are there and try putting a towel or blanket over it. Get a clock and put it by the cage to help sooth the pup. When your pup is crying and whinning do not go to it and talk just ignore it or this behavior will continue longer. If the pup is young you are going to have to just put it in a room the farthes from where you sleep and deal with it puppys do this they grow out of it as long as you do not go to them when they cry. GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

your puppy has learned that if he makes a fuss you get up to him. so make sure he has been walked and fed and had a wee and poo before you go to bed. Take him to his bed and tell him sleep well ,see you in morning or anything you like. then go out close the door and go to bed. when he cries out in the middle of the night ignore. The penny should drop after one maybe two nights.. if this isnt working try shock tactics. and when he cries out opent the door and throw a drop of water at him saying bed or what ever you want to say. then walk away shutting the door behind you. its only water it wont hurt him and he will soon know you mean buisness. good luck. Oh and if you wake up to find a puddle on the floor dont tell him off just clean it up, by making a fuss you will only be reinforsing the behaviour. reward good behaviour and ignore bad.

Answer 7

I just got a puppy too. She was really good for the first week, but after getting use to her new home and me, she has grown attached and started crying at night. I know the type of dog that you have and those are usually pretty quiet dogs (not a barker) just like mine (I have a japanese chin). When my pup started crying, it was hard, but I didn't give into her at all. I just let her cry. If a dog knows that you will come running to them when they cry, they will cry. But if they learn that crying gets them nowhere, they will not cry. My little one hasn't cried in about a week and she is 3 months old. Try putting them in the far end of your apt/house and closing your bedroom and turning on a fan. I also leave my vent in the bathroom on to kind of sooth her, as well as the radio on low. That away she doesn't feel like she is by herself. Also, try turning on the dryer. Mine likes that too and it kind of covers up the crying as well. Put a t-shirt that you have worn recently, unwashed, in her bed so she can cuddle up with and you could also try putting one of those wound up clocks in her room for the ticking sound. Pups like that. Good luck and try not to give in as hard as it is. Trust me, I feel your pain in the sleeping area. I'm exhausted, but they are well worth it in the end. Just give it another week or so, she should be better soon.

Answer 8

Put an old jumpe rof yours in the dogs bed with your scent on it (something you have worn and not washed) or even better, a blanket that the dogs mum slept on if its a pup.A ticking clock wrapped up in a blanket is soothing also as it will remind the dog of it's mums heartbeat.Be firm with the dog, if you keep going to it when it cries it will keep doing it for attention.Maybe leave a light on for it too, it may not like the dark.

Answer 9

My dog was like that when I first got her as a six week old puppy. What I did was put her in my bedroom right beside my bed in a tall box with comfortable bedding in it. When she cried, I would put my hand in the box and pet her. She would quiet down immediately and go to sleep. My dog got over it within a week or two. Good luck!

Answer 10

Aww.My guess is the puppy is lonely but just being a puppy dont forget altho they have 2 extra legs they are still like babies. Try putting a teddy so he/she can cuddle up like when it was small huddle with mum and brothers and sisters,prehaps more than one teddy and squish it in the middle so its surrounded like when it lived in the womb,if this continues id suggest gettin a puppy book prehaps one of the breed or look at puppy sites on teh internet.
