If my puppy falls asleep in a different room, should I leave him there or should I just take him to his bed? I want to avoid crying/whining at night

If he is sleeping in a crate for potty training, I would take him to his crate for bed. Or if you want him to sleep in a specific place each night, then I would wake him to take him to his bed. But if you don't care where he sleeps at night, I would leave him where he is, as waking him may think it's time to play, and you will have trouble getting to sleep yourself. You can leave him access to his bed so he can go there if he wants to during the night.

    You should leave him wherever he falls asleep, he should be fine sleeping pretty much anywhere.
