My puppy slept with me the first few weeks I had him. He was 8 weeks old and slept through the night (6 or 7 hours) without a peep. He has never wet in my bed. In the morning, when I first notice him stirring, I get him up and out of bed and to his puppy pad....which he usually uses.
I know for a fact that he would have cried and whinned all night if he hadn't slept with me (we tried it one night).
He still sleeps with me a lot, but has become increasingly content sleeping apart from me also. Or - often he sleeps the first half the night in his bed and the second half in bed with me. He usually sleeps with his head on my neck or even above my head. He is no bother at all and sleeps very soundly --just like a little baby, which he is. And, as I said, he sleeps all night and doesn't pee.
I just don't think little puppies are ready to be alone. That's why they cry, and, boy, can they be noisy!
