My best advice with the crying in the kennel worked wonders for my yorkie Vinnie. He cried the first two nights and drove me crazy, and of course I felt horrible, until someone told me to wash a t-shirt, then wear it around after it was clean so it would adopt my smell and wrap it around a water bottle so at night he would be warm and be able to smell me and perhaps even think it was me. Honestly, it worked wonders, and after about 2 months, i believe, although it's hard to remember, he was used to our routine and pretty confident we'd still be there in the morning so he was fine with just going to bed without it. Congratlulations on your puppy and I hope this works, good luck! |
