Hi! Congrats on ur new pup! I know with McKenzie when I first got her I would sit her crate right next to my bed with it facing me so she could see me. That helped alot. Also occassionally if she got fussy i would stick my finger n the crate so she feel me, or i would open the door and pet her a little.
As for keeping her up, you shouldn't have to worry about actually doing so. Puppies sleep a lot so even if she sleeps a lot during the day she will still sleep at night as well if she feels comfortable. Just stick to ur daily routine and let her get her rest time.
Oh, if you want u can also put a shirt or something of urs in the crate with her at night. But i found keeping her crate close worked best for me.
Good luck! |
