I wouldn’t be leaving him alone if I were you, unless it’s for naps. Does it have toys, food? Do 5 week old puppies even eat solid food yet? That’s crazy. Well, you literally have a canine infant so it’s going to bark, cry and be a small stressed out dog.  Maybe try some music, some ppl say it helps. You can also get some toys that help with separation anxiety like [this](https://www.amazon.com.au/SmartPetLove-Snuggle-Puppy-Behavioral-Brown/dp/B000C9YHFS), maybe also read some articles on how to ease separation anxiety. Do you have any friends that have sound knowledge with dogs, or maybe their parents? Not trying to be rude but you sound very young, I would even suggest taking the pupper to the vet to get checked and getting professional advice and help with how to raise the puppy.","subreddit_name":"puppy101","author":"sirbatula"},{"body":"I would agree that he was too young to be taken away from his mother but you just have to work with that now. I would suggest this - https://www.amazon.com/SmartPetLove-Snuggle-Puppy-Behavioral-Brown/dp/B000C9YHFS\r\n\r\nIt’s a stuffed dog that has a heat pack and has the recording of a heartbeat. Really soothes some puppies, especially the younger ones.","subreddit_name":"puppy101","author":"firefly9225"},{"body":"My puppy did that and I kid you not I looked up separation anxiety on Amazon and came across this thing called a snuggle puppy, reviews were amazing, I reluctantly tried it. The first night I had it she slept the entire night through for about 9 hours.

To help keep her in there, fold a T-shirt that you have slept in, put it on top of the blanket. Cover the crate part way with a towel, making it dark is the best.

So work really hard on organising safe play dates and getting in to puppy schools / working with trainers to help teach her those behaviours. And know she might struggle with it. Having your own dog at home will hopefully help, once they’re safe to be together. \r\n\r\nGood luck!

Definitely worth the investment in my opinion.","subreddit_name":"shiba","author":"stanczza"},{"body":"Hey there!!\r\n\r\nSo what I’m doing at night is two things:\r\n\r\n1. I have a soft crate I’m putting next to the couch that’s right near the door to the yard. I have only been using this crate at night.\r\n\r\n2. I bought this [heart beat puppy](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9YHFS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share).\r\n\r\n\r\nShe whined and cried first night every time I put her in but then went to bed after a little. She woke me up maybe 2-3 times the last couple nights but has been adjusting to it. Night time is getting easier while daytime seems to be getting harder.\r\n\r\nFor sure feel free to DM me more if you wanna share tips or stories haha.","subreddit_name":"puppy101","author":"Lunarshotlabs"},{"body":"Yes, the Snuggle Puppy. Get one and use it, our girl loved hers when she was a baby. It sounds stupid but really seemed to help her calm down: https://www.amazon.com/SmartPetLove-Snuggle-Puppy-Behavioral-Brown/dp/B000C9YHFS\r\n\r\nYou're doing the right thing by trying to associate positive things with the crate, keep doing that. Give treats as often as possible in the crate, rub some treats on her crate pad/blankets so the crate smells like treats. Sit next to it with the door open, lure him inside and as soon as he's in do the GOOD BOY OMG GAHHHH YAYYYY performance. Anything you can do to associate the crate with positivity (whether that's food or praise) is a good thing.\r\n\r\nFor the first month or so, we kept her crate next to our bed so she could smell us while in bed. Luckily she never minded her crate much, but there was a bit of whining the first couple of weeks. I'd just put a finger or two inside the crate so she could sniff my hand, eventually she'd quiet down.\r\n\r\nGet a crate cover.\r\n\r\nLeave something of yours in the crate - shirt, sweatshirt, whatever - as long as it smells like you.\r\n\r\nDon't use the crate as punishment.\r\n\r\nSome dogs like the crate, some don't, unfortunately there's no way to know until you try. Good luck!","subreddit_name":"frogdogs","author":"gnitsuj"},{"body":"Definitely give them a special treat when they go in the crate.  I only give stuffed kongs for my girl's enforced naps.  Now when she sees one, she actually goes running to her crate and waits.\r\n\r\nYou could also feed them their meals separately in each crate.\r\n\r\nLastly, they make a toy called [snuggle puppy] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9YHFS).  I didn't use it, but it's supposed to be a cuddle buddy for puppies to help with transitioning to sleeping away from their siblings.","subreddit_name":"puppy101","author":"moonlightracer"}]}
