What To Do When Your Boxer Puppy Cries at Night
Your new Boxer puppy may start to cry late at night when all is quiet and it is time for sleep. This occurs because the puppy by nature wants to be with the "pack" during sleep time. The Boxer pack is not present and the puppy begins to panic. The pup may howl and yelp on and off for quite some time. The best way to solve this problem is to allow your Boxer puppy to sleep with you in bed or at least in the same room. If the Boxer puppy continues to yelp or cry you may want to say "No Sleep" or "Go to Sleep" to let your Boxer know you're there. The puppy will calm down and yelp less and eventually go to sleep.
If this doesn't work, you can place a toy near your Boxer puppy, and this may calm him down. The plush toy will act like a litter mate, and in turn; ease the puppy into sleep. You can use a little blanket or soft t-shirt right from the dryer and place it right next to your Boxer puppy. This may also help to aid in the loneliness. Your new Boxer puppy may have a problem with the sleeping situation for a while but as time goes on will get used to the new environment.
