i have a chi/maltese and she's about 10 weeks and we're starting to let her whine when she wants us in the middle of the night cause she needs to learn she cant get her way when she whines and that night time, is night time. But im worried its hurting her cause she whined/YELLED... plus we're leaving her home everyday alone cause me and my sis have school and my mom works as a teacher at school so im overall worried this is hurting her! thank you soo much for the help in advance 
and she has lots of toys
she hasnt had her shots yet so we dont take her for walks and we dont leave her in a crate we leave her in a baby play pen (thats boarded off) or a confined space in the living room and we got her about 5 days ago.
