I got my little girl Morgan in Sept. 2011, she is now 2 1/2 years old. Her birthday is July 16, 2011.
I remember the very first night like it was yesterday!!! I only five hours of sleep that night!
I would play with her hardcore at night!! And by the time it was bedtime she was ready!! I did not crate her I let her sleep in my room with me, she would sleep in her bed. If she wined during the night I stuck my hand down so she would know I was there, I even allowed her to sleep in my bed a few nights so she felt safe.
I also put a pee pad in my room so she would go on that at night. I also put one down in a certain place during the day when I wasn't home and she would go on it.
Now she is 2 1/2 years old and sleeps all night! She is even potty trained! I still play with her at night because she loves to but once its bedtime she is out! I suggest putting your little one in your with you either in a crate or get them a bed and put it right by your bed, that way they know where you are and if you stick your hand down they know you are there! Hope this helps and good luck!! Rasing a puppy is hard work but it pays off in the end
