  • - box;
  • - laying;

Instruction

1. Everything is unfamiliar to the kids who recently changed scenery and it is terrible. They are afraid of new smells, objects, sounds therefore cannot fall asleep at night even if they want to sleep. The puppy needs to be calmed – tenderly stroke him, talk to him consolatory. But do not put him to sleep near itself on a bed. So he, of course, will quicker calm down, but can fall in a dream. Besides, when the pet will grow up, to disaccustom him it will be more difficult to sleep on your sofa. Therefore do not do even exceptions: any ban is calculated forever. The dog will not be able to understand why sometimes it is possible to sleep on a bed, and sometimes not.

2. First of all allocate for it a separate berth. It is better to adapt for this purpose a box, having put in it a laying. Or buy the special dogs box. Put it near yours a bed that the puppy felt protected. It is possible to put at first it directly on a bed and when he falls asleep, to rearrange on a floor. Gradually the dog will get used to the place and will come back there to have a sleep.

3. Puppies usually sleep about 18 hours a day. That at night the dog could fall asleep, do not allow it to sleep long in the afternoon, you awake more often, often walk in the afternoon, play with it in the evening, you come for long walks. Entertain a puppy, and before going to bed feed with meat. The tired kid will strong sleep at night.

4. If the puppy cannot be accustomed to sleep separately in any way, give a hand from a bed and put near him. The feeling of proximity of the owner will calm him and will allow to fall asleep. Put to it on a laying a favourite toy or pour warm water into a plastic small bottle, having wrapped it in a soft rag or a terry towel. The puppy remembers mother's heat and will better sleep. Water can be changed in process of cooling. If at night the dog woke up and began to play, do not support it, drive away from yourself. Soon she will get bored and will fall asleep.
