Can I have your best puppy tips please - our last puppy was more than 12 years ago and I can't remember what we did (though that whatever we did it must have been roughly OK I suppose - she grew up into a very loving, well behaved and well socialised dog).
We kept her in a crate in the kitchen at night last time and I came down and comforted her when she cried. She stopped quite soon and we had no more disrupted nights.
Our new puppy is another Labrador and she'll be 8.5 weeks when she comes to us.
I'm reading the puppy thread and a bit worried by stories of people taking their puppy to bed with them - wondering how likely it is we'll have prolonged night waking? I want her to be a downstairs dog like our last dog as this worked best for us.
Really grateful for any tips especially about sleep!
