[Hulk the pug]

Hello,
We have a new pug puppy, he is 9 weeks old. He has been with us for about a week. I know it is still early but I want to make sure we are doing the best job from the start. He has a large play pen space to sleep including a place to potty if needed. During the night he will often go pee and then cry for us. He also often wakes up and cries incessantly for us. This happens about 3 times a night. He has a very comfy space including a cuddly bear with a fake heart beat. I am concerned we aren't keeping him up enough in the evening time and that he still isn't used to his play pen. How late do most people try and keep their dog up until? Should I always let him "cry it out"? Any advice would be appreciated

So are you expecting him to sleep in the pen somewhere away from your bedroom? Every puppy I've ever had has slept in a crate beside my bed, and not one of them fussed.
