The first night was like heaven. She slept through the night and I actually woke her up at 8:00 because she was still sleeping and I was worried she hadn't eaten. Ate and went back to sleep until lunch. I think it was just the exhaustion of a new home. We have her in her crate as recommend by the breeder so that it would be easier to potty train. Next few nights only woke up once. Then she started waking up every 2 hours crying to get out. I would take her out and put her on the pee pad and she would turn around and walk back into her crate and go to sleep. Then she progressed to waking up every hour and doing this. I NEED SLEEP. What am I doing wrong? She has long naps in her crate in the day and crawls into her crate herself. She puts all her toys in their with her and her pillow. She actually likes her crate. What is upsetting her at night? Any suggestions to help her and me get some sleep would soooooooooooo be appreciated.
