Should your puppy sleep in your bed the first night?
Puppy sleep training happens little by little. When it comes to your puppy's bedtime, for the first week or so, it's preferable that they sleep in your bedroom with you. This way, he or she has your reassuring presence nearby, and there are sounds and smells that they will be familiar with.
Where should a puppy go on the first night?
On the first night, and for about three weeks, have the puppy sleep in a dog crate next to the bed. Line the base with blankets so that it is cosy and drape another blanket over the top to help it feel more secure. Give the puppy the stuffed toy that has its littermates' scent on it to snuggle up to.

How can I survive my puppy in the first 24 hours?
Wake Up & Take Them Out Every 3-4 Hours So, to avoid accidents and teach him proper potty habits, set your alarm for every 3-4 hours and take your pup for a quick walk. When you get inside, don't play. Rather, put him back in the crate and tuck yourself back into bed. Chances are your puppy will cry for a bit.
