I have 3 month old GSD pup. I'm struggling to get him to sleep on his own outside our bedroom. He refuses to sleep alone and creates a huge ruckus when i send him out for a few mins. How can I train him to sleep outside the room. Am at wits end. Would be grateful for any help

Crate train him, please. 3 months is too young to be expected to sleep alone since dogs in general look for company. Positive reinforcements during crate training helps them understand they are in a safe place and use the crate as a safe place. Would be happy to help in detail if required.

Thanks Niladri. He has made our room his sleep place and we dnt have the heart to take him out. He diligently steps outside and does his business on the pee pad when required. So we are continuing with him being with us
