Question
HOW OFTEN SHOULD A 6 WEEK OLD LAB PUP SLEEP DURING THE DAY. HE SEEMS TO BE UP MORE DURING THE NIGHTS, SHOULD I KEEP TRYING TO WAKE HIM UP DURING THE DAY, AND IS ALL THIS SLEEPING HEALTHY

Answer
Hello Ryan and thank you for your questions,

Puppies in genral sleep alot during the daytime and if you let them sleep a few hours before your bedtime you wont sleep lol. After your pup is a month or 2 older he or she will stay up most of the day. If its a porblem for you that he or she is keeping you up at night, wake the puppy an hour or so before your own bedtime and take him or her out for a play sesion and a potty break, if you tire the pup out with fetch or tug of war he or she will slepp most of the night but every puppy I've had wakes up half way through to be let outside.

Have fun with your new baby, labs are great.
