When do puppies start sleeping through regularly?

[Goingtobeawesome]

AwesomeDog is 17 weeks and last night had us up at 2:40am and then twice more before morning. We didn't leave her as DS1 has exams this week and needs his sleep. She mostly wakes 5-6am with the odd lovely morning where she sleeps until nearly 6:30am. It appears to have no bearing whether she has one walk, two walks, no walks, short, long etc as to what she does.

She likes to sleep from 8-9pm and would go to bed then if we let her. She's not keen on last wee before bed as it's cold and dark .

She's 17 weeks and a golden retriever.

Our lab slept until around 5am at 17 weeks. Now, at 2yo, she has the strongest bladder ever - goodness knows how she can hold it that long

She cried the first night home but eventually went off to sleep. the second night she cried and barked and cried and tore up the futility room for hours. Eventually we gave in and co-slept for about 5 weeks (yes I know this was bad) - she was in her crate in the living room and either DP or I would be on the sofa bed in the living room. We did wonder if we were going to have to do this forever but then one evening she came in after her pre-bedtime wee and took herself into the futility room and her bed and fell asleep! It really was as if she'd said "it's okay, I don't need you now".

We got up to her about 6am each day to let her into the garden for a few more weeks but then she started refusing to go out at 6am and looking upset that we'd woken her up, so we dropped that too and just let her out when we got up.

So despite doing everything wrong our lab managed to get it right by herself!

Your puppies (and dogs) are all gorgeous btw

She's snoring at the moment. I need to empty the washer, the drier, prepare tea, put on a wash and have a wee yet if I move she'll wake. EVEN THOUGH SHE IS SNORING!

She does not like the cold, the dark or the wind and sometimes refuses to go out!

Here she is

oh she is absolutely gorgeous Goingtobeawesome

Here is my girl when she a wee puppy....

when she WAS a wee puppy (grr)

Oh they do look quite similar. Maybe they are cousins!

Aggie is 16 weeks and sleeps through now til 6.30am.

I now need to get up for a wee at 3am so
I take her out with me - not sure if she does one as I'm so desperate to go but she probably does. She goes straight back off to sleep in her crate next to my bed.

I suspect yours would have more luck sleeping through if she was in a crate in your bedroom.

Well if we are showing Goldie puppy photos

My lovely lab whimpered every night until we allowed her into our room, then immediately she slept right through. Problem solved!

Well, I have to admit my goldies have always slept in our bedroom....not on the bed, they have baskets I do have some rules! so they have never cried for company.
The last pup, now 3, would go for a last wee at about 11pm, then would fidget for another at about 2, at your pups age. Gradually got later and later until by 6 -7 months would sleep through. I got very good at letting her out in my sleep!
She now knows exactly what time breakfast is, and will wake us up if we are asleep at breakfast time. Yet to teach her about Sundays!

My neighbour said I'd be a fool to allow her in my bed. She hasn't been upstairs yet and probably won't ever. I'd love her with me but she's going to be huge . I'm keeping her downstairs so the cats can have upstairs. They are still scared .

I'm blaming dh. He was told not to go to her and he did. She still loves me best though .

Hoppinggreen - your pup is gorgeous!

I personally don't allow mine on the bed either, or on any furniture. They may sleep upstairs, but paws stay on the floor! Goldies have no idea if they are clean or dirty, the amount of muck that can stick to their fur has to be seen to be believed.

Mine sleeps on the sofa.... if I'd known we would let her I'd have enjoyed her on my lap when she was small enough...

Thank you, it's an old photo. He's just turned 1.
He's not allowed upstairs at all, he sleeps in his own room downstairs quite happily, which is where also goes when we go out.
I know some people like their dogs upstairs/ on their beds but I prefer not to as I would be awake with every snuffle and fart ( plus he's a bit gross)

Ddog slept through 9-6:30/7:20 from around 14/15 weeks old. At 18 weeks old she went from 10-9, then from 20 weeks old 10/11ish until 10am'ish (got up for a pee then would sleep again until 11am walk time). I think I've been very lucky though with evening sleep considering ddog has high energy levels.

Did all yours just sleep through or did you leave them to bark aka controlled barking?!.

I met a 20 week old goldie this morning whilst walking my lab. She was absolutely delicious .

I don't let our dog upstairs - she moults too much and is a really loud sleeper. Plus she gets up for a wander in the night and has a real thing about closed doors: she just sits at the door and cries until someone opens it. Even if she doesn't actually want to use the door!

Yes we did "controlled barking" with ours.
I had a reclining chair in his room ( that I had used in the DC room when they were babies) and gradually sneaked out just like I had when the DC were tiny. It was hard at times and I did take him to bed one morning at 2am ( he weed on the bed)
Lasted about a week and now we don't hear a peep and haven't since he was tiny

We took the guinea pigs out of the lounge so she was alone. She slept until almost six o'clock! Hmm, maybe her friends disturbed her but the night dh forgot to take them out she slept through so we left them. There doesn't really seem to be a pattern yet and we have lost our routine for walks too but she's very happy. I just love her had a terrible year and she's keeping me here

Yesterday she slept until 5:45, today 4:20am

This is probably a daft question, but how can you tell when your dog wakes up if you aren't in the same room? I get up to feed my pup between 6.30-7, but I expect he may well have been awake and wandering about in his room before then and who knows how often in the night.

Awesome ddog would have been sleping through the night before leavin the litter.

What you cant expect is for dpup to hold bladder/bowel through the night and caging it to force that or for it to defacate in its own space is also cruel.

So long as dpup is given space to pee and poop in away fromsleeping area you shouldnt need to be up in the night at all unless dpup poorly and needing nursing.
Sorry not RTFB

She barks!

She isn't sleeping through because softy daddy got up to her for six, SIX, consecutive nights and when night six gave us six gettings up I said no more.

This morning she was up at five. He didn't take her for a wee. He let her out of her crate, which is in a den, and she settled on the sofa. As it was only 5 he didn't put the telly on...

It's been a few days now that dh has let her get up but she hasn't gone out for a wee, not needed. She's fully housetrained so wouldn't go inside.

I would be ignoring so long as she has a teddy or something for comfort. You be best off warning your neighbours that you are planning on spending some nights cracking her night barking habit and sure thy'll be relieved if they've been woken in past. But it would definitwlt mean no relenting!
