Hi everyone! My partner and I recently adopted a puppy and unbeknownst to us she was given to us at 6&1/2 weeks old (at the time of this post). Yes I know that’s too young and we wish she had spent more time with mom and her litter mates. As you can imagine sleeping through the night is very difficult for her. Does anyone have any good tips or advice to help us out? I will list below what we have done so far to help her out!
-every time she falls asleep we pick her up and place her in her crate
-reinforce her crate time with plenty of treats love and toys
– I get up with her every two hours or so to use the bathroom
-we don’t let her out when she’s crying we wait until she is calm and reward then
I am aware that this is a process and may take her some time to adjust but any additional advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
