Try putting a freshly worn shirt from it's primary care taker in the crate with it. Use a crate if you aren't already - it soothes and makes them feel secure.

You can try putting a teddy bear in the crate with the puppy. My puppy used to the do the same when he slept and even shook himself awake at times. After we got him his teddy bear he slept through the night. He even waits in the laundry room as teddy goes through the wash. Haha.

For some dogs if you put a loud clock near them it helps them sleep. They have something to listen to keeping their mind semi occupied and the tick tock is similar to the mother dogs heartbeat. So it could help if he is suffering from separation anxiety.

Put an old non-digital regular alarm clock in the bed with her. The tick tick tick helps them quiet down, and put some article of your clothing in with them (with your 'smell' on them).

If the puppy wasn't whining until recently (you say "suddenly"), you should take it to the vet. The whining and restlesness could be caused by worms, which some puppies are born with. The treatment is easy, inexpensive, and quick, and will make the puppy much happier and more comfortable. If left untreated, worms can kill your puppy.

I would take the puppy to the vet and have it given worm medicines. All puppies have worms. Also if it is like a schnauzer type they talk all the time. All the time, repeat all the time. Lol. Baby the baby. I would give it a blankie and a toy. Cover it up with this blanket each time you put it down for a nap. Give it a little kiss each night on top of the head, or kiss by its head, so it knows you are telling it good night. Tell it it have sweet dreams, etc.

It doesnt matter if the puppy gets up after this, it will see that it is a routine at night and get used to it. Also at naps, cover it up and tell it to have a good nap. A clock in there helps the puppy feel like it hears a heartbeat. Just dont let the alarm go off!

Hope these things help you, also go to leerburg.Com for their free articles and podcasts on puppies and their needs. It is a great site. He trains german shepherds but is smart with all dogs and the articles and pod casts and e books are free.

If you have a new puppy that whines at night, take a wind up alarm clock and place it in the crate with him. The ticking will soothe him, and you just might get a little sleep!

He is probably cold and lonesome. Try giving him a soft cuddly toy and something that makes a soft noise like a ticking clock.

I agree with deebomb. I remember reading that, along with a ticking clock, a hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket can be soothing -- like sleeping with mama and littermates.

I'm guessing that he needs his mother! Six weeks old is really young to be adopted out. He's just a baby, after all. Puppies learn a lot from their mothers and litter mates in the first 12-18 weeks of their lives.

Here's one idea that might help: Get him something snuggly to sleep with and have a clock that ticks nearby. Make his bed a comfy, warm place to be. You can also check with your vet for other ideas.

He misses his mother. He is just a baby.

Have you wormed him? That is usually the cause.

Ooo this wee boy should still b with his mama. There's still a lot for him to learn. Mrs.story's got a great idea, though, you could try cuddling him close to you as well. Good luck with your precious wee baby.

Was he bred by you? if not puppys can not be sold/given away until eight weeks. Suggest you contact your Veterinarian ASAP this could be any number of things. Good luck.

Give him a stuffed animal to sleep/cuddle with, any yes, he was taken away from his mama and siblings too soon.
