Why does my puppy cry every night at bedtime? How can I stop it?

Question

My puppy cries every night when puts to bed and I don't know how I should handle it because I have school on weekdays. I only have two nights to handle her crying though she won't stop crying unless ignored for almost 15 mins. My heart aches every time she cries like aww.. my poor little baby is crying. What should I do? I can't resist her but I need to go ro school early and to do that I should sleep early to be able to wake up early too. What should I do with this behaviour of hers? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 27 days old

Thank you for your question. If you go to Aki every time she whines, she will continue to whine. If Aki stops whining for 15 minutes, just let her be. Once she figures out that you are not going to come, she will eventually stop and learn that bedtime is bedtime, and the whining will stop. Don't reward her behavior with attention.
