When does my puppy go to bed at night?
At night, she goes to bed at 10pm but she starts howling, barking, and crying at 1.30am and again at 4.30am, when we eventually get up to her. We are morning people and are usually up at 6am. At these times she usually soils her crate, but once we have cleaned up and given her a cuddle, she goes back to sleep.
