I had Dolce sleeping in a pet bed the first couple of nights but she wouldn't sleep and she would just stare up at me (it was on the floor on my side of the bed) So after a couple nights, I let her up in the bed with me and the fiance and she curled up inbetween us and slept like a baby

go figure lol! So now she sleeps with us every night...Im sometimes afraid the fiance is gonna roll over on her, but she usually stays close to me lol (I guess she knows its safer by me cuz I don't really move in my sleep haha

)

Amazon.com: Petstages Heartbeat Pillow: Pet Supplies

Product Description
Adorable plush pillow uses the sound of a heartbeat to calm and sooth an anxious puppy or dog. The pillow contains a heartbeat mechanism that can be turned on as desired or removed for washing. It provides a great way to reduce separation anxiety in dogs and/or ease the transition into a new home for a puppy.

Good luck....

Just ordered one lets hope it works, wish the pet stores around here had one so i could have it today!!!

Hang in there! I have had my babies for 11 weeks now and they have just started letting me sleep until 5:30am, which is when I normally get up. I was getting up with them every morning at 3:30am-4:00am and playing with them until it was time for me to leave for work at 7am. Additionally we were getting up a few times during the night.

I have mine in the master bathroom with the doorway gated off. They have a few beds, their potty pads, toys and water bowl. They can see me when I am in the bed.

I bought my pups a Best Pen Folding Play Pen from Amazon. It has mesh sides and top and a canvas type bottom. It did not work for containment for my two (I got it for in the kitchen), but may be an option for temp sleeping solution. It is big enough for a small bed, a potty pad (which is not an option for you right now - but the floor is water resistant) and water dish and a few toys. Might give him a little room to move around and entertain himself a little bit.

So theres hope lol...having a small dog is just so much different then a larger dog. Our larger dog we had a six weeks and we were never up that much at night, but at 6 weeks she was bigger then gizmo is even now so i knew potty training at night would be alittle tougher but man didnt know id lose this much sleep. Im looking into getting a xpen here soon but havent found one that i like much yet and the ones i do are super expensive for what i want to pay. I just didnt get why he was good with sleeping for 5-6 hrs at a time then now this week he doesnt want to, but hopefully itll go back to that and in the mean time i thought id see what other tricks people had. so thank you

How you deal with it depends on you and the doggie. It will get better.
My friend has a puppy and she uses a toy that she got at Walmart that has a heart beat. It is a regular baby toy. I have two puppies right now. Each puppy has their own crate. The first few nights they cried and I used a sound machine set on the heart beat sound, they had to get used to sleeping alone. I don't think that is why your puppy is crying to get out. I think he is crying because he wants to be with you.
Try taking him for a brisk walk so that he will be tired. And try to prevent him from taking long naps in the evening. I know after working I just want put my feet up and rest. But Puppies need to be busy so they will be tired at bed time. You can even sit on a chair and toss a ball for him.( My neighbor does this from his wheelchair. He has a Minpin and they play every evening. It is so cute.)
You can teach him QUIET during the day or evening. When he barks say QUIET and Reward when he is quiet, with a tiny rice sized treat. You can do this when he is in his crate at night. Say QUIET wait a few seconds for him to be quiet and reward. Still take him out on a leash before putting him to bed and about 6 hours later he prob. really needs to pee again. My puppies are almost 6 months old. I put them to bed at 11pm and they wake me about 6 am. My Adult Yorkies wait until I get up around 8:30am.
I must be honest, one of my Yorkies sleeps with me. I got her as an adult. She was not crate trained. She barked and whined in terror. I opened the crate to take her out, thinking she might need to pottie. She jumped on the bed shaking. I talked to her quietly, she stopped barking and made a little nest. She has been in my bed since. Hope you get a good nights rest soon.

Yep,Mina has been in our bed sleeping through the night sense her second night in our house. She get wrapped in one of her blankets and we are done until 8am.
We do make a point of playing with her HARD from 10pm to about 11pm. We are both pretty tired by that time,but she sleeps and so do I.
