Maybe it was the transition to his new home making it harder for him to sleep? Hopefully he is getting settled! Last night I took Lola out at 11pm and she didnt wake up tell 5am then played for about 30 minutes then back asleep tell 7am, thats what Im talking about!
We got our puppy at 12 weeks and he was holding it for about 4 hrs at a time, so I think he should probably be holding it for at least 3 hours at 8 weeks?!
He's now 15 weeks and can hold it all night (about 7-8 hours). If I want to sleep in on the weekend, I just wake up around 3ish -- at a time I'll surely fall back asleep -- to let him out, then sleep til 8 or 9.
He doesn't complain, because when I wake him at 3 to go out he's usually as groggy and ready to go back to bed as I am
I'm going to read this thread the next time I consider getting another puppy!
Kidding aside, Truman was just like this too but what made it worse was that I was SO spoiled with Linus and Bentley. I got both a bit older (15 weeks) and they slept through the night for about 10 hours right from the get go...then we got Truman and he rocked my world.
