Laughter at How Woman Gets 'Spoiled' Goldendoodle Back to Sleep at 4:30 AM

Puppies will often wake up in the middle of the night as they adjust to a full night of rest away from their owners.

They could be scared and cry throughout the night or they might not be able to hold their bladder for a full night quite yet. Or, if they're like this goldendoodle, they might just be ready to play for the day.

In a January 4 TikTok video posted to the account @araww_x0, a Ring camera captured a goldendoodle wide awake at 4:30 a.m. in his dog crate.

This ruckus he was causing woke up the owner. It's not that the owner couldn't go back to sleep. She was more worried about her 6-year-old child sleeping in the room next to him. That's why she decided to "phone in to him" and tell the puppy to shush up.

It did not take more than a stern "go to sleep" for this dog to listen and he slept for the rest of the night.

But don't let the strict voice fool you. This owner wrote in the video text: "I promise he is VERY loved and spoiled."

Viewers cannot stop cracking up at the hilarious clip. Within one week, it has reached over 3.1 million views, 493,300 likes and 1,776 comments.

"Lmaoo he knew momma meant business," wrote a viewer.

Another pointed out: "He laid back down so fast."

The creator commented: "He is 12 weeks so he's learning but he really does listen so good. Just very loud at 4 a.m. with no regrets." Sounds like typically puppy behavior.

How to Calm a Dog at Night

Deciding where your puppy should sleep at night is a very personal decision for dog owners. Some can't stand the thought of not having them snuggling in their bed, while others want to keep them in a crate. Whatever you decide, keep in mind that being alone at night can be very scary for a dog, especially in a new environment.

Dog owners who wish to keep their dogs separate at night should prepare their canine's place of slumber. An article from Blue Cross suggests making their bed a comfortable place to settle near where the owner sleeps. Ensure they have used the bathroom before and keep things calm and quiet.

Remember that this transition period can take some time. Be patient. Once they become comfortable in their crate for bedtime, owners can move the crate farther and farther away if they wish. Gradual is better, as it will cause less stress on the dogs.
