Anyway, to say is one thing , to do is another. I don't know yet if I can do that, but I want to try. |
Not only do you not have to play or feed your puppy during the night, you should NOT. Your puppy does not need to be fed during the night, and he needs to establish a sleeping/awake cycle that suits YOU, which means your dog should sleep through the night like you do. Your puppy will eventually stop crying at night. And if you stop playing with him at night when he wakes up and just ignore him, he will sleep through the night (or at least not wake you up if he stirs). You can always let him sleep somewhere else until he gets his days and nights in order and then move him back into your room.
