My new puppy is 11 weeks old today, she has been here since Friday, and she has slept through the night (8 hours plus) every night so far. |
Congratulations on the new puppy!
I think the OP should know that your puppy is a Nottaweiler
...and will not grow to the size of one.
I had great success...having puppy sleep in a smaller type of crate that was right by my bed for the first couple of weeks. We had a crate set up downstairs also during the day if needed....but the night time crate worked out well.
They do like to be close to someone during the night and sleep soundly.
