Good night’s sleep for you and your dog - a few tips

Is your dog keeping you from a good night’s sleep? With just a few easy tips, you can ensure that you both get all the rest you need.

If you have new puppy, it is very important to establish a set sleeping place for him on the very first night.
It could be kennel or a crate. Be sure to line the kennel with newspaper in case of any night time accidents. Have an elevated area at the back of the sleep area, possibly a dog bed or pillow, so your dog is not sleeping in its own waste.


It's important that you choose the place for your dog to sleep, but you need to train him to go to this area at will. Lead him with a treat to connect a positive reward with his sleeping area. Never pick up your dog and place him in his sleep area, or he will associate being there with a negative experience.

If you are changing your dog's sleeping arrangements, be sure he has plenty of exercise and food.
If your dog is tired out and full, he should adjust fairly easily to a new sleeping place, and will not cause you any trouble.
