6 wk old lab pup

Question
Me and my bf just adopted a 6 wk old labX. The first night we put him in his kennel and he woke up throughout the night whining and barking. He ended up in bed w/us for most of the night and he'd keep waking up. How do we stop this and make it so that we can sleep through the night when we live in an apartment? When's a good time to start training him also? Any recomendations on how to properly potty train him? What about a proper feeding schedule? WHatever recomendations you have would be great!

Answer
Hi Darcie!I recommend you make your dog a nice,cozy,warm and comforable bed instead of a kennel. This is  because your puppy is still a puppy and needs to be trained you must be patient and let him whine, it will only last a couple of weeks, give him praise when he does maybe a routine of in the crate tell him good boy and give him a treat . If you do this everynite close to the same time he will deveop a routine and he will know what to do.You should by a bag of pedigree dog food for puppies and it will tell you how much to serve your dog because it depends on the weight.Good luck!
