Hi. Happy that you got your puppy. I always have people pick babies up on Fri. And at 10 or 11 weeks I start putting them in their own crate to eat and at night. I think this reduces the stress factor when they go to their new home. I have a sound machine that I use in the nursery so they hear 60 mins of heartbeats at night.Their first night I do not cover the crate so they can see each other. I cover each crate separate on the 2nd night and give them a chew treat. I also agree with the walk before bed. Most of the time it still takes a few nights or so for them to just go to bed without protesting. Hope some of our hints help you out. Hugs |
