I would highly suggest the snuggle puppy anxiety stuffed animal. Our pup sleeps through the night (12am-6) without waking up, inside her crate at the foot of our bed. if you can, take it with you when you pick the pup up and let her litter mates/mom/dad play with it so it has their scent on it. She has been extremely easy to potty train. She goes to the backdoor when she needs to go and shes only 9 weeks old! We have introduced her to so many people and sounds. We have taken her to an outside restaurant (held her the whole time cuz she doesn't have all her shots) and shes been so good! We also got her one of those puzzle bowls so she takes a little longer to eat to stimulate her mind. This is our first ever dog ever and doodle too! Great choice. She has been a doll! Good luck :)
