[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of dog? I read all these horror stories, but relate to very little of it. My 4 month old has been house trained since 11 weeks and didn't even have a bad first week with sleep. He sleeps 11pm to 7:30am and has for some time. The larger breeds seem to do better with puppyhood in my experience, partially perhaps because they have greater bladder capacity. [/quote]

+1 We got our lab at 8 weeks. She got up twice the first night, once the 2nd and 3rd night, and slept through the night after that. We started with a crate on each level but now only have one in our bedroom for overnight. We are not fans of puppies being left on a different level overnight but that’s personal preference. Our dog wants to be where the people are and would be miserable if she was left downstairs at night. [/quote]

Yup! Mine is a Golden and we got him at 9 weeks. Similar sleep pattern. Had never slept fewer than 7 hrs at a go and now routinely does 10. We live in a large condo and debated where to keep the crate. Settled on the living room, but that's basically "where the people are." We use the beds for sleeping, but the action is in the main space. We close off the crate with a dark sheet when it is really sleep time. But yeah, PP, it's been a breeze so read different experiences. Around 3 months with our pup I started feeling like maybe we should add to the puppy family...[/quote]
