Emi...try giving her something that smells like you guys...something you don't mind being chewed up..an old towel or blanket...when my first dog was a baby i had to sleep with my hand in her crate she was so scared... that got old really quick but we did the towel trick and it worked.  |

Pull her into the bed with you (providing she does not have fleas) She's lonely and scared so she needs reassurance and lots of love.  |

she's not really potty trained though, or i would try the bed thing. but thats a good idea, Dreamer. we'll have to find something that smells like my step dad, because she's taken a real liking to him.  |

are you crate training her? if so, put the crate in the room with one of you.  |

If you can let her sleep in someone's room she doesnt have to be on the bed. Now would be a great time to crate train her. So if she could sleep in her crate in the same room you or someone's in she wont cry. Remember she's a baby. IsisKat  |

she was already crate trained when we got her.. my parents opened the door to their room, which is where she is next to, but that didn't seem to help much. |

Well, if she was taken away from her brothers and sister which i'm guessing she was....she's lonely..she's in a new place and she has no one to protect her in a way.... and it's a big scary world for a baby |

This works wonders......I just got a puppy last May. Get a kennell and put her in it with a nightlight near your bed. Have the kennell facing the bed so she can see you during the night. Go to walmart or someplace and get a clock that ticks really loudly. The dog will think this is its mother's heartbeat and settle right down. Trust me it works!  |

She probably misses her mother. This should pass in a couple of weeks. For now try wrapping an alarm clock in a towel, it sounds like the beating of her moms heart.  |

we just got a 3 month old puppy about a month ago... she did the same thing.. IF.. no one was sleeping with her... the only advice i have, is to let her crawl into bed with you or someone else in the family... that might help (did for my puppy)... she might also be crying and howling cuz she's in a new house and is scared... you might wanna try it out and see if it works...  |

Wrap an alarm clock in a towel and put it in with her! She needs a stuffed dog toy to cuddle with too so she doesn't feel so lonely. I had my yorkie in a crate next to my bed with the clock and toy and he did so much better.  |

From what I understand the dog is kept in a different room?? My dog who was crate trained always cried at night unless he was in the same room with someone. Try putting the crate in your room and see if that helps.  |

the problem with the room thing is that i can't put her in mine, because it's upstairs and there's no room.. and i'm not sure about my parents, because we have the problem with mom sleeping.. |

Give her an old sweater of yours and leave the radio on low.  |

I say give her sometime to get use to your place one or two weeks should be pleanty. Make sure she had a plush soft toy to sleep with so if she's awake she can play. Also a bone for the teething. Make sure her bed is cozy and will keep her warm. If she had been around her brothers and sisters until you got her then she is use to sleeping with the pack. If all else fails if this dog is inside and sleeping in a cage then bring the cage to your room facing you so the pup can see you then let it go to sleep in there. It will feel more safe being able to see a member of it's pack. Godd luck hun cuz we just got a pup for my daughters 2nd bday and after making sure i did all of the above he finally sleeps without barking and whining. Love and Hugs,  |

I made my pup sleep in a cage the first few nights and she did the same thing. So we just put her cage in our room beside our bed and I would put my hand on the cage to show here that I"m there and she would calm down. Now I have a large tall box that I have beside my bed that she sleeps in. Its tall enough that she can't get out but enough that she can put her paws on and lick my face. Its right beside my bed. That seems to get her and she sleeps fine. Puppies never sleep through the entire nights the first few weeks. They need to learn your schedule and they will. In time...good luck!  |

Hmm.. I know she's three months, and should be used to being seperated from her mother by now, but the best advice I can offer is that when we got our new puppies is that they are used to sleeping in both the puppy 'packs' and next to the mother. So buy a hot water bottle, and fill it at bedtime. Wrap it in a towel, and hide it under the dogs blankets (so it won't get leaky or destroyed, but the pup can feel its warmth), and also a small travel alarm clock (just those tiny square ones (apparantly the 'ticking' is to simulate the mother's heartbeat). Keep a box, crate, or kennel for the dog, and use it solely for when you go away, or when it's bedtime (at least until the dog is trained completely). It may also help if you take one of YOUR old sweatshirts, tees, etc. And put it in the box as well.. the dog will smell your scent on it, perhaps making it more comfortable. Some even suggest a radio left on at a low level, etc. So give those a try. And enjoy the new pup!  |

ok.. since sleeping with you isnt an option.. put a clicking clock in the same room with her, cuz supposedly it's suppose to calm them cuz it reminds them of their moms heartbeat.. you could also try to put some music on real low... good luck emi :-( |

Just let it cry. Its instinct, I think ALL puppies do it. It may be hard, but just ignore it. Eventually it will stop, believe me, dogs are fast learners.  |

And don't let it sleep with you, because you will just delay it, and let it win. When my puppy cried all night, it was pretty hard to ignore it, but it became better each night, and now its just routine. |
