Replying to:

We just got a 7 week old puppy that whines when she is alone. It's understandable, since it will take time to get used to being away from her mom. I just wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on what I should do to nip it in the bud right away.

She had about an hour car ride and would whine unless she was being held up with her legs dangling for some reason. Even cuddling with her didn't stop it.

Then at night she she lays in her bed for a few hours at a time, but wakes up and starts whining. It's not even a wimper, it's like she is screaming. So of course my fiance picks her up and puts her in bed. She already has him wrapped around her little finger

I'm scared to let her sleep with us, because I'm afraid we'll roll over on her or she'll try to jump off the side. When she's older it will probably be ok. She will also be staying with a babysitter in March, so I want her to be able to be crated overnight for them.
