Can I let my 6-week-old puppy cry it out at night for training?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not atypical but rather typical behavior for a puppy. I recommend that you ignore her while she does it and she will eventually learn that her crying will not lead you to go get her which is better as she will become more independent. Best of luck!

Congrats on the new puppy! I think it is fine to leave him alone as long as he is in a crate so he can’t harm himself or get into any trouble. At this age he is likely going to need to be let outside at least once or twice in the middle of the night until he is able to hold it all night. You can play a low volume radio/music or put a ticking clock near him to help soothe him at night. I would not give him any water after an hour before he goes to bed. This way he has plenty of time to process that water and pee before bed. I hope this helps! https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/how-to-crate-train-your-dog

It will take time to fully train Tank. If he is only 2 months old he can really only hold his urine for about 3 hours. If he starts to whine in his crate at night I would recommend walking him when he starts to whine. When you take him outside I would recommend walking him on a leash. This is because puppies are easily distracted. Once he urinates +/- defecates he can have off leash time in the backyard. With crate training remember anytime you cannot have your eyes on him 100% of the time he should be in the crate. Also if you take Tank outside and he doesn't go to the bathroom I always recommend putting Tank back in the crate for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes take Tank back outside to try again. It takes time and patience to train a puppy, but if you are consistent it will pay off. Congratulations on your new addition to the family and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Here is a great website that can give you information on crate training. http://www.thejerseymoms.com/potty-train-your-puppy/ Crate training is a great way to potty train Bella. Just remember she is still a baby so it will take time. Thank you for using PetCoach.

Hello. Crate training takes time, so keep persevering. That being said, expect dogs to be able to hold their bladders the number of months they are in terms of hours, as a general rule. They can hold it a little longer at night. Expect to have to wake up in the middle of the night to let him outside. Bring him outside, let him pee, then right back inside into the crate. No playing or else he will get used to that. The whining and barking should subside soon. HAve fun with him!

She is still very young and it will take her some time to learn to sleep through the night. You could try to put her crate next to your bed and see if that helps. You could also try an Adaptil Collar or Diffuser and Solliquin chews. https://www.adaptil.com/us/ http://www.solliquin.com/#page-top

I would try putting Co co in a crate at night. Keep in mind she's quite young, and it will take time for her to adjust to being in a new home away from her mother and siblings. It's truly like having a newborn baby in the home! But the good news is that puppies will get better at sleeping at night faster than babies. If you are comfortable with it, you can have her sleep with you at night in your bed. That might make her feel more comfortable. I hope you get some sleep!
