I just brought Dexter home last Saturday and didn't have too many problems at night. We put him in a crate in our room where he could still see me. He cried for a couple of minutes and even gave a couple of howls but he quickly stopped after me snapping my fingers a couple of times in the middle of his howls. Now, he still whimpers for a little bit (less than a minute) then goes right to sleep. The first 2 nights I got up around 2 or 3 am to let him out to pee since he gave a whimper or two then right back in his crate and back to sleep. After the first 2 nights he slept all the way through the night. We'll see if it keeps up.... |
