As for the crying, the more you get up with them the longer the crying will continue. I would put a pee pad at one end of the crate and not get them up in the night.

Make sure they have had some play time before bed time to wear them out.

Thats what I thought as well too, because I am almost rewarding her and encouraging the behavior, but I am just worried she might have to go potty sometime when she is older and that she will think that even if she cries I wont come let her out.

But it's the same as most of you... She can be sound asleep on the couch and if I get up to get a glass of water, she wakes up and starts crying lol. Forget going to the bathroom alone or anything like that.

Even if she is in the bag if she is visable someone could brake in and take her not to mention the temp could get to hot or to cold very easily. Also I rarley get to go to the bathroom alone either lol Callies 2 and I have taught her to just kinda sit there insted of ummm trying to sniff certain things.

lol that’s why I try to keep Tinkerbell out. She starts wanting to chew on my underpants, and telling her no and trying to scoot her away with your foot only makes her more hyper. Plus, if she is in there with me, then I have the poodle and mastiff trying to peek in too to see what we are doing. And I really don’t need an audience…..

And I had already paid a deposit on her, and the lady told me that since I was choosing to leave the puppy with her when it was fine to take her, they were gonna act as if she were in a kennel, I would have to pay for them to hold on to her. Since I had already paid the deposit, I didnt want to forfit my money, so I took her home. Some people have even said that in some states, it is illegal to give the puppies away at this age....

I am really angry with this pay the breeder to hold the puppy past the 5wks old stage. Were you aware of this requirement at the time of purchase? What did the contract say? What is this about forfitting your deposit money if you didn't take her?
Have you looked into what is the law in your state? Maybe all these questions are moot to you at this point but those practices to me seem way out of line. Do you have a Better Business Bureau you can report this breeder to?

Well I live in Kentucky. But no, I had no idea that this was going to happen. The lady had advertised the puppies really early, so that was when I paid the deposit of 300 dollars. All my other dogs I have gotten around the age of 8 weeks, so I was a little surprised when I got a call from her telling me I could come get her. She was born Sept. 22 and I brought her home Oct 1. She said that if I refused to pay the “kennel” fee, it would be considered almost as if I didn’t want the puppy anymore, and that they are not required to return a deposit. I don’t know if I can turn her into the BBB. I just hope the other puppies are okay, because when I brought her home, she was SUPER tiny, I had to pay close attention to her blood sugar. She also didn’t have any teeth, so I had to soak and mush her food. Hopefully the other puppies went to owners who took good care of them, because if she was practically forcing me to take the baby at how young she was, I bet the other puppies were forced out too.

You are not alone. I'm in the SAME situation.
I have her for 8 months, she was very independent, but just about 3 weeks ago, her personality changed tremendously, she started to cry, bark, growl when I'm out of her sight, especially at night, she just bark (bark, not cry) until I come out from the bedroom and grab her.
I tried many ways until I found one which works for us. I put her on my laps every night around 8pm, when she's sleepy or tend to sleep, I would wake her up, play with her. This continues until she gets very tired and sleepy, I'll put her on her bed, switch off the light. She opens her eyes and see no one, she'lll bark, but it's only for 1 or 2 minutes, then she would falls asleep (she's too sleepy lol!)
