8 week pup crate training help

[Dee Dee & "Bentley"]

Just got my 8 week pup and last night he cried alllll night in his crate. I left it beside my bed in my bedroom.

I was getting up every time he cried and let him out to potty.  Is is ok to put crate in separate room (so I don't hear his cries? Sounds crule, but I don't know)  Also, If I do put crate in separate room during night how often should I get up to left him out to potty during the night? I go to bed around 9 and up at 5am.  I don't think this young can go all night without a potty.  Hope I posted this in right spot. I"m new Thanks!

Hi! 

Millie's crate is not in our bedroom. She also calms down when there is "white noise"- a fan, the dishwasher, etc. I also think you can purchase a stuffed animal that can be heated and has a heartbeat sound to soothe your puppy. He has to learn to be apart from you, so you may endure some cries in the night! Millie stayed in her crate all night from the very beginning-she never cried to be let out. How often does he have to go during the day? are you feeding him on a schedule? if you take up food and water an hour or so before bed, that will help him not have to go in the night. 

You should also check out the "puppy madness" group. There is a lot of good advice there!

Forgot to thank you about the "white noise" worked like a charm. Thanks!
