they are in need of the basics, or this can cause difficulties with training later. Your puppy may cry when they are left alone, perhaps if you\u2019re elsewhere in the home or asleep.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-long-does-it-take-for-a-puppy-to-stop\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_a_puppy_to_stop_crying_at_night\"><\/span>How long does it take for a puppy to stop crying at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It depends. Some puppies cry every night for the first one or two weeks while others only cry the first night or two. Your puppy might cry the entire night or he might only cry for an hour or so until he passes out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-a-new-puppy-cry-all-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_a_new_puppy_cry_all_night\"><\/span>Will a new puppy cry all night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may think that the puppy will go off to sleep quite quickly. But it doesn\u2019t always work out that way. Some puppies will cry for most of the night. And unless you live in a soundproofed room or own a mansion, you will be able to hear the noise.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FxED-0aEKfI\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-do-i-do-if-my-puppy-cries-in-his-crate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_I_do_if_my_puppy_cries_in_his_crate_the_first_night\"><\/span>What do I do if my puppy cries in his crate the first night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Puppy\u2019s First Night Home: Crate Training a Crying Puppy<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Never use his crate as punishment.<\/li>\n<li>Do not overuse the crate.<\/li>\n<li>Take care of its needs before crating.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the crate is comfortable.<\/li>\n<li>Give your pup long breaks between crate times.<\/li>\n<li>Feed your pup his meals in his crate.<\/li>\n<li>Reward your dog for going in his crate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-ignore-puppy-whining-in-crate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_ignore_puppy_whining_in_crate\"><\/span>Should I ignore puppy whining in crate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIgnoring the whining is your best option,\u201d says Dr. Coates. \u201cAny type of attention will just reinforce the behavior.\u201d Campbell says that pet parents should avoid giving attention or taking a puppy out of the crate until he is quiet.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-i-ignore-my-dog-crying-at-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_ignore_my_dog_crying_at_night\"><\/span>Do I ignore my dog crying at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although initially you may experience plenty of sleepless nights, it is better to ignore any barking or whining at night from the get go. As long as your dog is comfortable, it will come to no harm and this attention seeking behaviour should only last for a short time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-putting-a-blanket-over-a-dog-crate-help\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_putting_a_blanket_over_a_dog_crate_help\"><\/span>Does putting a blanket over a dog crate help?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To put it simply, draping a blanket over a dog crate can provide some dogs with an additional measure of security and serenity, making their den cozy and complete. Think of it like closing the bathroom door just before you step into a relaxing hot bath \u2014 peace, privacy, and security go a long way for dogs too.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-puppy-cry-itself-to-death\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_puppy_cry_itself_to_death\"><\/span>Can a puppy cry itself to death?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Puppies can quite literally cry themselves to death.

Since there are so many possible reasons for the crying, it can be difficult to pinpoint the reason without looking at context and then working to eliminate each potential cause.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-should-a-new-puppy-sleep-the-first\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_a_new_puppy_sleep_the_first_night\"><\/span>Where should a new puppy sleep the first night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the first night, and for about three weeks, have the puppy sleep in a dog crate next to the bed. Line the base with blankets so that it is cosy and drape another blanket over the top to help it feel more secure. Give the puppy the stuffed toy that has its littermates\u2019 scent on it to snuggle up to.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-get-my-puppy-to-stop-whining-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_my_puppy_to_stop_whining_for_attention\"><\/span>How do I get my puppy to stop whining for attention?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Avoid unintentionally encouraging your dog to whine. If you\u2019re quite certain your dog wants something like attention or food, redirect it to another behavior before giving in. Ideally, get your dog to quietly sit or lie down; then reward it with attention and praise or a treat.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fkqF-MHutNw\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-get-my-puppy-to-sleep-all-night\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_get_my_puppy_to_sleep_all_night\"><\/span>How can I get my puppy to sleep all night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tips for Helping Your Puppy Sleep at Night<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Make the crate inviting.
