Hey everyone!
Looking for some reassurance or experiences from other puppy owners.
I’ve had my puppy for almost two weeks now. She’s an 11-week-old mini schnauzer, and during the day she settles really easily in her crate. She naps every hour or so in the living room and usually falls asleep pretty quickly without making any noise.
At night she sleeps through the whole night, which is great. The only thing I’ve noticed is that when I first put her in the crate at bedtime, she does some quiet little whimpers for about 15–20 minutes. Nothing loud or distressed. She just looks around a bit, shifts positions, makes a few soft noises, and then eventually falls asleep. Once I go to bed, she’s totally quiet.
I use the same crate for day and night, just move it from the living room to my bedroom.
Is this normal “settling in” behavior?
Did your puppies also whimper a little at night even though they nap easily during the day?
Would love to hear your experiences! I just don't want her to be upset with me lol.
