stacey I does go through lots of infant puppies without mums, & i understand ur problem, it is very annoying that a pup will cry in the middle of the night, & it is also worrying to see an angry neighbour complaint the next day u met them!! But through my experience, most of the pups cant stand it when they are being put into the crate & they will start yelling & howling NO MATTER HOW U IGNORE THEM!! But then, it doesnt means u can let them out from the crate, or even approach them. Of corse u dont hope this to become a bad habit when he turns up to an adult right? Well, u must be thinking so what am i going to do? the only thing u can do is set up a schedule. during an hour before he meant to sleep, spend time playing with him until BOTH or u feel tired! & for a pup, if u cant make it to wake up in the midnight to feed (though advisable) feed him before he sleep. Peeing & pooing during the night, in the place he/she sleep should be expected even u didnt provide them with food & drinks few hours before they sleep as they cant "tahan" for long. Though it is never too early to start training him at the right spot as u r doing now. In short, make him tired before sleeping time, feed him b4 sleep, ignore him (suffer & worry now or it going to be forever) whenever he make noise, unless it is feeding time, & place his crate at a place where he cant see u. (bedroom is not advisable) Im sure u will see improvement as the pup grows up (given u train him with good habit) he will be less likely to pee or poo in the crate, more willingly to stay longer in the crate (thats y u should ignore his cries since young) & the level of improvement is parrellel to ur effort & patient!
