Any suggestions on tiring out Gizmo to help her sleep through the night? The breeder recommended keeping her awake for a few hours before we go to bed but this is much easier said then done. When Gizmo is tired she goes to sleep (and I can more then understand this, I would too) and doesn't want to play. We try taking her out to walk through the field but its hard because she kind of just lays down in the grass and goes to sleep.

If we're in bed watching TV she falls asleep whenever we take out attention off her for a minute or two. Anyone do this (keep their pup awake before bed time so they sleep better) and if so how do you do it?

At this point I am second guessing everything the breeder told us, so I should ask if this is even a good idea to begin with. I read somewhere that you should just let them whine sometimes untl they go back to sleep or entertain themselves, but this is hard. We have really irritable neihbors in our apartment and I don't want to piss them off too much.
