Hi, my vets says let puppies sleep. Well she said they get hip problems don't over exercise them when they are puppies. She said always give them puppy food never adult food or table food. She says to place crate in middle of room live door open an have a put bed or pet mate in there with bear or blanket or toy an slowly let then find it an when they get in there let then stay in there a few minutes.
