Most puppies will cry, whine, yip and even yelp the first few nights, they go to their new home. You can try all the stuff people have done since the first kidnapped pup slept by a cave fire. I can assure you pups only do for a few nights (0 to 5 nights being the norm. in my experience.) Some pups are not crying because of lonely feelings or fear at all; but just winding down. Some human babies do this too. My best advice is ignore and tough it out. I think all pups should sleep safely in their crate until they are fully potty trained.
I think there is a huge advantage to crate training. ALL dogs have to be crated at some point. If they think of their crate as a safe place it greatly reduces stress in stressful situations.
