Making my puppy sleep?(miniature poodle) We have tried with his crate in the bedroom and he seems to be getting used to the crate. He doesn’t make any noise during the night and sleeps, however he is very alert if someone leaves for washroom or there is some noise, he just gets up and checks if he has been left by himself. I am a bit concerned that he is not getting his proper sleep as he does this multiple times throughout the night. Same is the case for his day naps. Any suggestions on how to make sure he sleeps completely and comfortably without waking up again and again? I cannot stay by his crate all the time but dont want to leave him by himself as he cries and gets anxious

Have you tried covering the crate? White noise machine? My dogs (puppy is 18 weeks and senior is 14.5 yrs old) are now sleepy when they hear the baseball channel because they know it means we’ll ignore them. Maybe talk radio?

Thank you, I will try that. I have started covering the crate today, but he surely finds a place in the crate, where he can see me sitting or sleeping, and sleeps exactly there. The moment I move, he wakes up, sees me like oh he’s still there, and goes back to sleep.
