we brought home our 10 week old show cocker spaniel 4 days ago. we are crate training and will go in and out his crate during the day to chew his toy, we also feed most of his meals in there (doing this in a range of formats, sprinkling kibble, plain old out of the bowl etc)
but he is definitely not sleeping as much as he should. We’re really struggling to enforce naps as he won’t go down unless he falls asleep on us. We then place him in his crate but then wakes up and gets out as soon as one of us tries to leave the room or get on with chores so he generally only stays asleep about 40 mins
are we expecting too much for day 4? Reading all of these accounts of pups putting themselves to sleep in the crate and sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time and i could only dream of that right now!!
