1. Establish a routine. Puppies thrive on a schedule and it can help them to better regulate their sleep patterns. Feed, walk and play with them at specific times each day and try to put them to bed at the same time each night.
2. Create a comfortable sleeping area. Make sure your puppy's bed is comfortable, quiet and dark. It shoul also be placed away from high-traffic areas to help them get the best sleep possible.
3. Avoid over-stimulation in the evening. Puppies can get very excited and stimulated by playing, so try to avoid high-energy activities in the hour or so before bedtime.
4. Provide opportunities for exercise. Puppies need exercise to burn off energy and get tired, which will help them sleep better at night. Try to take your puppy for a walk, play fetch or just let them run around for some time during the day.
If you are still struggling with your puppy's sleep patterns after following these tips, talk to your veterinarian to see if there may be any medical or behavioural issues that could be affecting their sleep.
