Normally it is not recommended to alter the sleep periods of our furry dogs, but when we have a puppy we can make an exception. The little one is likely to feel insecure and miss his mother and siblings, so when all the lights go out he can have a pretty bad time.
To help you, we offer you a series of tips about how to make a puppy sleep through the night.
Play with him during the day
The key for the puppy to sleep through the night is that arrive tired at the end of the day. For this reason, it is very necessary to play with him in those moments that he is awake. In pet stores you will find many toys with which you can have a great time: balls, frisbees, interactive games ... With any of them you will have fun and, in addition, you will get tired.
Give him sniffing sessions
When a dog, regardless of its age, works with its nose for a more or less short period of time, it will not only calm down but also, when finished, you will feel more tired. Therefore, I recommend that you spread dog treats or pieces of sausage around the home, patio or garden so that your puppy can go looking for them.
Take him out for a walk and / or run
If you are two months old and have the corresponding vaccines, you can take it for a walk and / or run, but only for those areas that you know in advance are clean; that is to say, through those where not many dogs or cats usually pass. From four months of age you can remove it without worrying too much about this issue, since at that age it will be much more protected.
If he cries, don't pay attention to him
I know, it is very hard. But if a puppy cries and we pay attention to him, he will do it again whenever he wants our attention. Taking this into account it is important to ignore him, unless he is sick in which case it will be necessary to take him to the vet.
We hope these tips help you to get your little one to sleep through the night.
