I have 2 new pups both born in the shelter just got them Sunday. I left them home for the first time today.
Puppy #1 is 5 mos. female said to be shepherd/hound mix: I put her in the garage while I was at work because I can't trust her in the house. I need help with these problems with her
1) wants to chew EVERYTHING! She has chew toys. I do the whole 'NO!' take item away and give her a chew toy. But, still...she is so busy. I'm constantly running after her. The house is puppy proofed. But, she is bigger so she can prop herself up and grab things from shelves and counters. She has me almost in tears lol
2) I came home during lunch to let her out for a few minutes and check on her. She has very bad seperation anxiety. Crying and freaking out when I got here. She jumped up and pee'd on me. She is rather big, so this is a problem. Especially on a lunch break!
Puppy #2- is 9 wks old. Male said to be pug/terrier. Mom was at the shelter and WAS terrier. But, I'm not sure that he has any pug...not that I can see anyway.
Here's my BIG worry:
I don't have a crate. So, I put him in the tub with a bowl of water, chew toy, and a towel to lay on. BAD mistake. When I came home during lunch to check on him the tub was covered in poop that he had smeared all over the place and all over him. Mind you...I was on lunch break! I took pup out cleaned him off the best I could without bathing...I didn't have time. At that point I didn't know what to do with him! I couldn't put him back in the tub. I couldn't leave him to run around the house and chew everything up. So, I put him in the garage with big pup. He was fine when I got home. But, still...I can't have him out there. He only has his first 2 sets of shots and we live on a farm. One of my kids is a huge animal lover so she is constantly bringing stray animals home. We have a stray dog and 2 stray cats that have claimed the outside and garage as their home. (I made sure to get them out before I put pups in there) But, I am afraid that he'll get sick from their germs. And now I am worried about a crate after the big mess today. Please tell me what to do. Also, same thing with little pup about the separation anxiety crying and freaking out, running after me. And both pups were upset about being apart from each other.
I really don't know what to do! I am piled high in puppy poop and pee and they are destroying my house lol. I need some advice on how to get my pups to calm down just a little lol. HELP!!!!!!!
