i have adopted a 12week old pup from the local welfare. he has been without his mother (the police shot her! but bottled it with the pups!) for most of his life and has been kept in an indoor pen with his sister previously.

we put him to bed in a similar pen complete with water, toys, chewing items and newspaper for toilet mess.

we are now on night 4, when he is put in his pen he goes in ok not too much fuss, sometimes even lays right down. when we shut him into the bedroom though he begins to whine. he whines at the moment for between 10 and 20 minutes.

I dont think this is too bad all things considered but wanted some opinion on whether there was anythign i could do to make it more stress free for him??

all advice greatly appreciated.
