he should be fine
If you don’t want the puppy to cry I would suggest moving it into your room. But wherever it is, it will get used to it. Hope this help!
leave her where ever you want her to sleep. she should be fine by herself in the room with the other dog.
If it were me i would leave the puppy in the other room, I just feel that it helps set some boundaries with your puppy right from the start. I know it can be hard not to metion annoying if they cry all night but I have always made them sleep in their crates in another room with my other dogs till they are housebroke.
If you plan on keeping both of the dogs in the room as the normal procedure, then don’t move it into your room. You will have a harder time keeping the second room as the specified sleeping spot if you start with your room now.
WELL MY GOOD SIR. IF ITS A TOUGH NIGHT THE FIRST NIGHT, TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT THE NEXT NIGHT. TRIAL AND ERROR, GOOD SIR. ALSO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A DOG TO BE CRATE TRAINED SINCE BIRTH. THEY NEED THEIR MOTHERS FOR A WHILE AND SO UNLESS YOU GOT IT FROM A PEE-POOR BREEDER, I DONT EXPECT IT TO BE AS SUCH.
I HOPE I HELPED.
Keep her in the same room as with the other dog. You can also put a wind up alarm clock near her crate. The ticking sound should calm her down. Get her on a routine. Do the same thing, say the same thing every night so she gets the cues that it is bed time.
I always keep the puppy’s crate in my room. That way, I can tell her gently to be quiet if she acts up. It’s got to be awfully scary to be away from your mother in a brand new environment. I personally think that having the pup in your room also helps her to bond with you because she turns to you for comfort.
thats for you to decide. wherever the doeg is is dosent matter….give it a new place every nite if you want to. crate is crate. i souhold be able to go anywheres with a properly trained dog:) hes just sleeping in it anyways:)
