I would appreciate some advice about our 9 week old puppy who we have had with us for a week.
He is doing amazing, and is a very quick learner. He is toilet trained and only waking once in the night. We are very blessed and generally during the day he settles in his crate for enforced naps after a small amount of whinging/crying but we are struggling in the morning. When he is due his first nap, he shows he is sleepy but takes absolutely ages to settle and then he doesn’t sleep very deeply and keeps waking. We do sit with him in the lounge while he falls asleep.
I’ve tried enrichment, Kong and toys etc just incase he isn’t sleepy enough and I’ve tried putting him to nap a little earlier incase he is actually overtired. I don’t know what it is about this first initial nap that is an issue. Hoping for some ideas!
