    New puppy not sleeping at night on his own

    We got Tyson when she was 8 weeks old, the first night she slept right through the night without a whimper. The second night was a disaster!! I think my husband and I slept a total of three hours! Tyson cried, whimpered, barked and slammed the sides of her metal crate. The next day we tried...
