Do you leave him alone during the day? He is only 9 weeks so there is a lot of puppy energy that he's probably just discovering, my little guy is almost 7 months and he still like to party all night, haha! The key is taking a walk or just lots of playing, chances are you'll tire before he does, but keep going. With Vinnie I would sit at the end of the longest hallway we have and just keep throwing toys for him to bring back, then I would get myself ready for bed about an hour before I hoped to hit the pillow. About a half an hour before the time i want to go to bed, I lay down with him on my chest and massage him behind his ears and down his back it relaxes him and eventually he passes out so I can just carry him to bed, aka his crate. It's to the point now where sometimes he gets on the couch and crys for me to come over so he can curl up on me, almost like he's putting me to bed! Vinnie is still young too but I know eventually he'll put himself to bed and won't be interested in cuddling with mommy, so for now I take what I can get! |
