| Sleep all night??? Can anyone tell me when they will sleep all night. We got Mitzee last week, so we have had her one full week today, and she is yet to sleep all night. Any tips on a full nights rest?

| It took Sophie 2.5 - 3 weeks to finally sleep thru the night. Even then, she would wake up really early! She is 7 months old now and sleeps from 9:15 to 6:15 or so. Daisy didn't sleep thru the night till 5 weeks after we got her. She is now on Sophie's sleep schedule, which is wonderful! My only advice is to play with he ra lot, exercise her alot, and make sure she pees right before bedtime. When she gets up in the night to pee, let her know it's pee time, not play time. If she whines when you put her back in her crate, ignore it and she will learn that she must go back to sleep. A few weeks of this and she should be sleeping well. Good luck! |

| Trixie has slept all night since we got her -- of course we got her when she's full-grown and all, but still. She is 4 yrs old. I think it took Daphne a week to 2 weeks to start sleeping all night-and we got her as a 6 wk old baby!

| Archie slept through the night a couple weeks after we got him, but I started to realize that the best way to get him to do that is to make a little routine for him like he was a child, and to make sure he gets really tired. So, at night, he eats his dinner while playing ball and then a long walk, then he comes home and plays ball some more and pretty soon, by 10, he's sleeping on the couch or on my bed. Archie is most hyper between the hours of 8pm and 10pm. |

| Sleeping Fagan is 4 months old and has been sleeping through since about 2 weeks after we brought him home. He did better when we let him sllep in our bed than when he was in the crate. He will go from 8:30 to 6 0r 6:30...Good luck. It's just like having a human baby again!! |

That is so true! Folks who've never raised a small puppy do not believe me when I say that, but it is exactly like having a new baby in the house. Except that I can leave this baby home in an x-pen when I'm gone. I can't do that will skin babies | |

| lucky use to sleep thru the night. the problem is i wake up once a night to go to the bathroom . so when i go i usually take him to go potty also. by the time im done then he's done and we go back to bed til 545 or 6am when i have to get up for work. he's use to that routine now. he doesnt wake me up to go at night but when i get up he sleep next to my bed so he goes with me where ever i go. at first i didnt take him potty at night, i would have him sit next to me but after a few accidents i figured it would be a good idea to let him go also....... and so far it works great......

| We got Maggie when she was 2 months old. She slept in her crate for the first two months. I got up every two hours during the night to take her outside to PP. When she was 4 months old, she started sleeping all night. The first time she did it, I jumped out of bed thinking something had happened to her. She didn't sleep all night / every night at first. Finally, about a week later, she made it all night (9-6:30) every night for a week. Now she sleeps in the bed with me. I usually wake up before she does. I too didn't think I would ever see 8 hours sleep ever again. But looking back, it went very fast. She is now 6 months old and the best cuddler a person could love.

| Sleeping Matise usually wakes up once during the night. We go to bed around 10 and he wakes up like clockwork at 6 am every morning. Sometimes he will come back to bed after he is up for awhile in the morning. He wakes up to go potty. So if I get up and take him out rather then put him down to go on the pee pee pad he will come back to sleep, but if i just put him down he gets rambunctious and then he wants to play.

| Deegan is 5 months now, and he's been sleeping through the night for the past month and a half. He probably could have slept through sooner than that, but I would set my alarm to get up around 2 or 3am, to let him out to potty. Then I just slowly weaned him off of those midnight pee breaks, as I was really missing the full nights sleep myself. And he's been fine with that. Good luck.
