G'day, Eddy here. Runki mentioned:- <<<< I got my labradoodle pup yesterday. he is getting up every one hour at night and want to play while everybody was sleeping so I was sitting in front of the crate (did not know what to do?. Any suggestion? >>>>
Don raised a good question, how old is your puppy? Most breeders I know don't allow their pups to go to their new home any younger than 8 weeks of age where some even older due to vaccinations. I have a suggestion, let your dog know that night time is sleep time and NOT play time. Before you go to bed make sure your puppy has done their toileting business outside before you put them in their crate. In the crate leave some of your old clothing items which has your scent on them also some toys, then go to bed. Some people put the crate next to their bed or in their lounge room. The pup in a new home may cry for attention which may include whining, barking and scratching, just ignore this and in about 2 to 3 night's time they will stop and sleep through the night. If they are not yet toilet trained you may have to get up once or twice through the night at spaced time intervals to allow them to relieve themselves outside, note this in not play time but toileting time, and the aim is in time their bladders and holding time will develop the ability to hold it for longer and sleep through the night. Some breeders already have commenced toilet training their puppies before the pups leave the breeder, this where the pups sleep through the night and also have developed their bladders and holding abilities, so maybe get in contact with your breeder and ask them what they did so that you can continue doing what they have been doing where you may find toilet training much easier.
