FH and I got new puppy

Original post by Sep05bride

FH and I decided to get a Choc. Lab puppy on Sunday. Neither of us have slept since then. Any suggestions on how to get the puppy to sleep more before FH and I lose our minds?

Congratulations! We have a Choc. lab who is a year and a half old and such a handful. Def. try to tire her out during the day.

Another thing you can try is to use a plastic crate. Our beeder & vet said they respond better to them because they are more 'den' like. We bought a wire crate before knowing this so we covered all but one side with a navy blanket and it helped. Hang in there! It'll all pass in a week or two!

FM if you have questions!

I have a bad suggestion... but trust me, it works.

If you take the puppy into bed with you, he will most likely sleep through the night BUT you will also be stuck with a dog in the bed forever.



We did this and it worked wonders. No more sleepless nights.
