What NOT to do

  • If your puppy cries, wait to see if he settles instead of coming to pet him. Otherwise your puppy could learn the wrong lesson that crying will get him cuddles!
  • If wanting them to sleep in separate rooms then avoid letting them sleep in your room, otherwise they will ask for it again!
  • Never use your puppy’s bed as a punishment, this could create stress at bedtime.

Why do puppies cry at night?

Sometimes, your puppy would prefer to play, or is simply not sleepy, and certainly doesn’t want to be alone. This day and night routine is also new to them. And last but not least, he misses his mother and siblings a great deal, and has not settled in your home yet!

Imagine how this transition can be overwhelming for your fluffy ball! But no matter what, you need to teach your puppy to sleep through the night, and to be very consistent in this training.

ADAPTIL Junior releases “comforting messages” like the ones sent by the mother dog to naturally calm and reassure her new puppies.

Using ADAPTIL Junior is clinically proven to reduce the number of nights with crying or whining. It will comfort your puppy at night and help your puppy learn faster to sleep through the night.
