Hi Everyone,
I have a question. My little boxer pup Butchie has been with us for a week now (he is a rescue, and is only 5-6 weeks old), and up until last night, has been a perfect gentleman as far as crying goes. I have the corner of my bedroom next to my side of the bed sectioned off for him as a sleeping area. Last night however, he cried on and off ALL night!! I tried everything I could think of...I took him outside to rule out potty issues, I tried giving him a toy to sleep with, I even changed the blanket to a softer, more cuddly one. Eventually at 3.45am he settled down and went to sleep, only to wake up again at 7am. My question is this.....I understand that most young puppies will do this for the first night or two, but why after a week, did he suddenly start? I moved my bedroom furniture around yesterday, could this have something to do with it?
Thanks in advance....
