Yep! Add a yummy stuffed Kong or chew toy and puppy might even chew themselves to sleep and skip the complaining. This is a self-soothing technique that will also work well when you're not around.Establish a regular nap time, just like with a small child. Puppy goes into crate, baby pen, or wherever naps should happen. You go do something really boring, like work on your computer. Puppy will probably protest for a bit (just like a human kid) then heave a great disgruntled sigh and take a nap.
