| Not sleeping I'm a working woman and have a 7 month old Yorkie poo. Lately he won't sleep thru the night. I think he sleeps a lot while I'm at work. I've gotten interactive toys but he doesn't play while I'm gone . I run him ragged after I get home but he still gets up and whines to go out. Help!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | At 7mths old, he likely can't go thru the night without having to potty - so I'm not surprised. Many dogs have to go in the night, just like a lot of humans. I wouldn't pull up the water *too* soon, but you could try pulling any water up about 3 hours prior to bedtime. Have you tried that yet? Does he maybe cry just bc he wants to be w/ you...?

| Because of the heat I have been loathe to remove his water bowl. He was sleeping thru the night prior to the last couple of weeks. Also he does sleep with me so it's not a separation thing. Thanks for posting!

| At his age especially, a consistent routine will be very helpful. You have a baby there...lots of joy, lots of patience. He'll quickly figure out how things work; what happens when and all that and will eventually settle down--even at bedtime. Insofar as this recent bout of 'insomnia' maybe he's uncomfortable because of heat (Be very careful that he doesn't over-do with running around, etc. You have to limit his exercise (because he won't) to ensure he doesn't get heat stroke. In extreme hot temperatures, veterinarians suggest no more than 20 minutes outside once in the morning and again in cool of the evening. Also, about an hour before calling it a night, try to keep him still and quiet...cuz once revved-up, it's not easy for puppies to suddenly stop! I'll bet he's one precious, fun, silly little handful, yes?! |
