Why Is My Four-Month-Old Australian Shepherd Puppy Not Sleeping Through the Night?

by Karlee

When I first got my Australian Shepherd puppy she slept through the night great. Now after moving to a larger kennel she is not sleeping through the night and throwing a fit.

I usually take her on a good 30-minute walk either in the afternoon or evening. She plays with my roommate's dog all afternoon/evening as well. At bedtime she whines a bit then quiets down. A couple of hours later she is up.

I take her out to potty and then she has a fit in her kennel. I would let her cry it out, however, I live in an apartment and I don't want to wake the neighbors. She then wants to be out and play ending up chewing on things she knows she's not supposed to.

Any help is welcomed!
