Hello, we just got our puppy last week. She’s our second dog. We are crate training her and try to keep to a schedule but instead of the 2 hr nap, 1 hr up, she only sleeps for about 45 minutes to an hr. Then she’s up for about an hr and then it takes her about 20 min to settle for a nap. At night she only sleeps for 1-2 hr spurts. Is this normal? At night we are sleeping next to her crate upstairs and it’s also attached to a play pen which we keep open during the day, but closed at night. If she cries at night, we take her out to potty and then go back in. She does pee every time. Should we just keep on carrying on? Do folks keep their dogs in the crates for a full 2 hrs even if they’re up during the day? We work from home but it’s been hard to be productive when she’s only sleeping 45 minutes and 15 of those are spent near her crate till she falls asleep. Any help appreciated!
