Congratulations!
I have 2 puppies (I didn't get them at the same time) and I went through the same thing with them both. However, I gave in and allowed them to sleep with me for the first few days. Then as they got used to their surroundings, I put them in a crate next to my bed. Slowly the crate was moved to another area of my house and within a few weeks (about 2), we were having quiet nights.
If I may make a suggestion, your puppy is still rather young so I wouldn't be too stern with him just yet over being left alone at night. My pups were 12 weeks old when I brought them home and they still cried. But the trick (after they were used to their new surroundings) was to feed them and play with them just before bedtime trying your best to tire them out. Then, when you put them into their crate, they might cry for a few minutes but they will be too tired to cry for a long time. You may also want to turn the lights out just so that he get's used to understanding that darkness means bedtime. I dealt with my yorkies bedtime issues just as I did with my kids. I kept a routine so that each night as I started going through the routine, they understood what the end result would be. My puppies are 3 months & 8 months old now and I don't have a problem out of them anymore. They know when bedtime is just by our activities. They don't necessarily go peacfully(my 8 month old hides under the table when he sees me putting his blankie in his bed - the final step to our routine) but once they are in the bed, they quiet right down and before you know it, they're asleep.
I know it can get frustrating especially when you're tired. Just try to hang in there. He'll get the hang of it. |
