We just got a yorkie about 3 weeks ago. He was 8 weeks when we got him, so he is now 11 weeks. I knew when we got a puppy that we would be up at night going potty. The first 2 weeks not only did he get up to potty, but he wanted to play about an hour before going back to sleep. This past week, he is only wanting to play about 15 - 30 minutes. Is it too much to expect him to go potty and right back to sleep? He sleeps in a crate in our room. We only put him in there to sleep. If I put him right back after potty he really cries and whines. Of course if I put him in the bed with us, he sleeps so much better! However, my husband does not want him in the bed with us
I am a teacher and have been home with him all day. He stays up well during the day and plays hard. He takes naps every few hours.
