New dachshund puppy who seems to hate sleep!

Hi everyone, it's only been two nights now since I got mine and my partner's puppy, he's a beautiful and sweet, black and tan dachshund! We have adopted him at 10 weeks old from a breeder. I'm currently in the morning after night two typing this, it's about 10 to 6am and he's finally gone to sleep or whined himself to sleep! I have work from 9am (online) so i was worried he'll keep on going till before the morning meeting. Hes been wonderful but the issue is, he keeps whining at night and I would think he needs the the toilet for wees wees and poops but he never goes! Hes halfway to potty train, yesterday he stood in front of the patio door and I knew he needed a wee but missed the cue so he peed on the floor. I was so happy he was finally learning he has to do wees wees outside the patio.

Its just so tough at the moment, he whines and cries almost every night so I take him out but he doesn't need it. We're doing what we can, he has a heartbeat plushie with a heatable sack inside, a fluffy blanket and bed. We slept with him in the same room first night but we decided to be brave the second night and go to our room and left him in the crate after wee wees and tiring him out. He started crying at around 2am and my partner needed to sleep, (he hasnt slept since he tended to him) so I took over. Hes sleeping now, and I've covered his crate while I've just lied down next to it with a pillow and blanket.

I do wonder if we're doing something wrong or missed something, and I just want some reassurance that it will get better and he won't whine so much anymore??? Do you think we should just persevere, stick to our routine and bit by bit distance ourselves?

I work from home alot, so he will spend more time with me. I'm trying to be fuss free at nightly potties but im always afraid we have given the impression, whine = our attention. I've stubbornly ignored him as he didnt go 4 times now to the potty and im worried about the neighbours as he gets a little loud.

I dunno guys, its just night two and we feel defeated… I think I just need to air out my frustration in the puppy trenches online and know that things will get better..!! We love him so much, hes such a great addition to our family and what we always wanted.

Any ideas you guys might have, please let me know! Other than the nightly yowls, he is a very sweet pup and he seems to even like people as he wanted to go to the postman in the morning! 😂
