When we got our dogs as puppies, we put them in a cage in the laundry room with one of those nifty potty-pads, a pillow, toys, and a rawhide. Mom put an alarmclock behind the cage for Bandit, since we got him so young, to simulate a heartbeat, but it didn't do much.

You really just have to let him cry all night because what he really wants is attention. ^^; I hated it, but it only lasted a month or so, I think. *scratches head* Maybe two...

Anywho, after you're sure he's potty-trained, you can let him sleep with you. That's what we did with Missy, anyway.

Good luck!
