Hommie, I completely understand and know EXACTLY what you're going through! My Lola is 15 weeks now, but when I first brought her home, she cried ALL NIGHT for 10 straight nights! I was so exhausted, and my job was suffering! I tried everything! Finally, on night 11, she slept! It was a miracle, and I literally cried with joy. She now sleeps (or lets me sleep!) from 11pm - 8am.

I do use a playpen, rather than a crate, but that's certainly a personal preference. I also bought the SnugglePuppy, but Lola didn't seem to love it, but I was so desperate, I was willing to try anything. I do keep a pee pad in her playpen, so that she can go if she needs to, and I know that may not be the best training, but I will slowly remove the pad. She only goes on it once during the night, and it's only #1.

(This has been my lifesaver!)


I promise it will get better! I know it doesn't seem like there's any sleep in sight, but she will eventually learn your routine. HANG IN THERE!

Now if only there was a miracle for potty training?! Having a puppy is such hard work!
