I would keep the crate next to your bed. If the puppy whimpers or barks, put your hand down near or in the crate. Cooper whimpers a couple of times during the night and he is 16 weeks. The minute he smells my hand, he quiets down and goes to sleep. At 13 weeks when he cried I brought him to his pad because he usually needed to go potty.
Good luck with your puppy! They are SO much fun!
