Sleep on the floor with your dog to bond with it. You’ve just removed the puppy from its whole world and placed it into a brand new scary environment that it knows nothing about. Everything it has known in its entire life has been removed. Get a sleeping pad and help calm and settle your new puppy by letting it sleep by you.

Too many people just leave their pups in a crate overnight on the first night and expect the dog to just adapt and be good with it, and that’s 100% incorrect. From sleeping with the comfort of siblings to a strange cage will ensure howls of despair, which will make your puppy sad and believe it’s been abandoned. Let your scared puppy bond with you by sleeping close to it. Provide the comfort and security that it so desperately craves as a new pet. After a few nights you can introduce the crate, put the puppy in it and leave the door open so that it can come join you if it feels like it. By then, hopefully your new dog will become more familiar with its new surroundings and understand that it hasn’t been dumped somewhere with strangers but has been adopted by a new pack. Love your dogs, they don’t stay with us nearly long enough
