I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

We got a puppy just before Christmas.I don't know if it's helpful, I spent a couple of nights making lots of trips down to him and sitting outside his crate until he fell asleep, then creeping back up to bed. He felt happy enough when someone was around, just cried on his own.

It was pretty hard for a few days (and I've no idea if it's the recommended approach, but leaving him crying was too upsetting). However, he now goes in his crate and (just about, couple of attempts sometimes) stays in it and sleeps on his own when told to. We don't lock the door to the crate.

He won't sleep through the night though! Everywhere I read says not go go down to them if they start whining or barking in the night, but we can't exactly leave him barking at 3am - we have neighbours! Hopefully that'll sort itself out soon...
