On average, a puppy sleeps 18 to 20 hours a day. This is normal, as this long sleep is due to the puppy growing up and taking a long time to rest. The rest of the time he spends on the knowledge of the world around him.
Instructions
Step 1
It is important that the puppy spends most of its sleep at night. When he is an adult dog, he will sleep at night too. This is difficult to do if the puppy has just been weaned from its mother. And until he is four months old, he will not be able to sleep all night. The first piece of advice when you take your baby is to calm him down during the first few days. For this, a suitable size box is suitable, in which he will sleep for the first time. It can be placed on the bed, which will make it clear to the puppy that he is not alone. Then the box can be removed from the bed and placed on the floor.
Step 2
With dogs, you need to remember one rule - if you allowed them something, then it's forever. Afterwards, it is possible to ban, but this is a tedious process, since it is difficult for the dog to understand why yesterday it was possible, and today it is forbidden. Therefore, if you decide to sleep with your puppy, get ready for the fact that he will sleep with you all the time, no matter how impressive he grows.
Step 3
These are the tips given by dog experts so that your little dog does not wake up at night: - Do not let the puppy sleep in the evening. You can entertain him, play, not letting him fall asleep;
- Take for a walk;
- After it is tasty and densely fed. A happy and tired puppy will not wake up from hunger. This is reminiscent of how mothers accustom their children to stay awake at night and sleep during the day.
Step 4
If the puppy wakes up at night and requires you to play, you need to firmly make it clear that no one is going to play with him. You can also purchase a special home doghouse in which he will sleep. Dogs quickly get used to it, and you can put it anywhere.
