If you just brought a puppy into your home, most likely the first night will be one in which both of you will sleep only a few hours. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, but with the fact that they are animals that like routine. Therefore, when the puppy is found in an unknown place, initially he will not feel comfortable. It will take some time for him to establish a connection with you, especially because of the fact that he will miss his mom and brothers.
Similar to a small child, the puppy has little control over his emotions and cries at night and does not let you sleep. The solution is not to yell at him in order for him to stop crying. You will make him fear you which would not be a good start for your relationship. Also, don't try to constantly comfort him at night. Whether you yell at him or simply touch him gently, he will understand that whenever he cries you will be there, which will get him used to it.
The best for him is to prepare a safe sleeping place for him, that will protect him from currents of air, or whatever might hurt or sicken him. If his crying breaks your heart, you can make the sleeping pad in the same room with you, near your bedding. This way, he'll know that you're in the vicinity and that you can rub him at night if he moans. Most puppies will instantly fall asleep, but there are others more stubborn that refuse to quiet down. If he annoys you, it's better to place his pad in another room from which you can not hear him. Leave him food and water. But be prepared to have some sleepless nights and never hit your puppy for crying. It's like a small child who is scared because of not understanding where he is.
Some people choose to leave their dog in the same bed as them. You should keep in mind that it is a habit that once established, it can no longer be changed.
Pay attention to his safety!
Puppies will be as disobedient as allowed. They are curious and very committed when they want something very much. They will need a safe place to be able to explore freely and where to play when you're not at home. Just like a baby, the puppy will sniff and put in his mouth anything that stands in his way, so make sure that you are don't have in the house small items that he might to swallow. Electric wires, cords, poisonous plants, cleaning solutions, all of these are tempting for a small dog. Take care of him, keep a constant eye on him because he still depends very much on you.
Feed him adequately, considering his nutritional requirements. Your best bet is to buy special food for puppies, depending on his age and weight, but if you want to give him any cooked food, you should consult your vet in order to make sure that there will be no consequences.
