Bringing a new puppy home can be an exciting experience. However, when faced with a puppy who wont stop crying, this dream can soon become nightmare. Figuring out how to stop puppy crying is often a challenge many new puppy owners face. Their nights will be filled with crying and barking as the new puppy becomes accustomed to his new environment.

A puppy crying in the middle of the night can be very frustrating. Sleepless nights can leave you feeling tired, angry, and frustrated. However, in these circumstances, you should try to relax and understand why your puppy is crying.

Puppies are very sociable little creatures, and since your puppy is away from its siblings and mother it is understandably very frightened and lonely. A puppy crying can also be a sign that they are:

Seeking Your Attention – This is by far the most common reason a puppy will cry out. It is however a bad habit and can lead to problems such as puppy separation anxiety, amongst others.

Hungry or Thirsty – A crying puppy can sometimes be a sign that they are hungry or thirsty since this is how they would have attracted their mother’s attention in the pack.

Uncomfortable – Your puppy may be uncomfortable, be it too hot or too cold, or may even have to go to the toilet. You should also check that they haven’t already soiled themselves.

Under Exercised – Your puppy will often cry out purely for something to do. Exercise them regularly to alleviate the need to do so.

Tips To Prevent A Puppy From Crying

While a puppy crying is a perfectly natural behavior, it can be frustrating. Luckily however, there are a few simple things you can do to reduce and eliminate it altogether:

Food and Water – Make sure you are feeding your puppy enough and that he has a plentiful supply of water. You should also avoid giving your puppy any food 3 hours before bedtime.

Exercise – Allow your puppy to burn off his excess energy during the day, with some physical exercise as well as some mentally stimulating obedience training, in order for him (and you!) to get a good night’s sleep.

Toilet – Take your puppy outside if he needs to potty before bed, or every few hours if necessary.

Crate Training – Your puppy may be suffering from puppy separation anxiety and this may be the cause of his crying. By crate training your puppy, he will no longer feel the need to control the house, and will be content in his new home. However, you should not shut the crate door until your puppy is about 12 to 13 weeks old. By then your puppy should be able to hold its bladder and bowels overnight.

Comfort – Ensure your puppy’s area is clean, dry and comfortable. By placing a hot water bottle and/or a ticking clock wrapped in a towel in their puppy’s sleeping area, many new puppy owners have also reported success. This warmth, and ticking sensation then replicates the puppy’s mother and sibling’s warmth and heartbeat.

The best solution in learning how to stop puppy crying is to tackle the problem immediately – ideally before it establishes itself as an ingrained habit. This will be of great benefit for both you and your puppy for years to come.
