Ensure your puppy has a comfortable and safe sleeping environment, ideally with something that smells of you or its littermates. Try to establish a calm bedtime routine and ignore the crying unless you suspect they need to go outside for a bathroom break. It's essential to ensure the puppy has been adequately exercised and has gone to the bathroom before bedtime. Patience and consistency are key; most puppies will gradually stop crying at night as they adjust to their new environment.
