How do I ???

Question

stop my puppy from crying all night? Shes 2 months old.

Answer 1

Wrap up a clock in a towel and put it in her bed.Give her a stuffed animal to sleep with. She is missing her littermates and Mother-the clock will sound like her Mother's heartbeat and make her feel more secure.

Answer 2

Only two months old? She's crying because she is still a baby, and she misses her mom and litter mates, and wants some comfort. Would you want to sleep by yourself at that age? Whew! Scary, huh. She has no awareness that you're exhausted, frustrated and trying to get some sleep because you have to go to work or school the next day, she just wants someone to pick her up and make her feel better. She is a baby, just like a human baby. They cry when they need something.

There is no magic solution here, like the fabled alarm clock or a warm blanket. Certain breeds will settle down in a comfortable box or crate where they feel safe, but others will cry until you pick them up and (sigh) put them in bed with you. I've had to do this with young orphan pups and kittens that were rescued alone. They will get down off the bed by themselves when they're ready and leave you alone. They just want some temporary cuddling and security, and guess what? You are it!

If you're not ready or unable to have a young one that requires a LOT of attention, return the baby and get a more mature dog from a shelter. Good luck, and please do the right thing so everyone will be happy (and you can get some sleep).

Answer 3

Bringing a 2 month old puppy into bed with you is ok as long as you know you will wake up every 2 hours or so to put her outside to potty, otherwise she will likely pee on your bed simply because puppies cannot hold it like older dogs can.

Your best bet is to buy a crate for her. Keep it in your room next to your bed, place a towel or baby blanket in there for her and get a hot water bottle and wrap a towel around it. The hot water bottle will give her something to snuggle up to. It may take a couple of days but she will eventually get used to her crate and learn to love it. If she has a special toy, make sure that is in there with her.

Its important to make sure she is taken directly outside to potty first thing in the morning and shortly after eating or napping during the day. Puppies do not develop very good bladder control until they are around 6 months old so its important to make sure you take them to their potty place often.

Good luck and Goddess Bless you and your new pup!

Answer 4

Depending on her size, put a fleece baby blanket in a clothes basket with small openings around it, put her in it and by or on the bed that way she can see you and she will be warm. Also put a few soft dog toys in it for comfort items. Put her on a decent food/water schedule, play with her before bedtime to tire her out. This has worked for me with every puppy I've owned regardless of breed. All dogs need a "den" type space whether its a basket, crate, box or your bed, its your choice.

Answer 5

She apparently doesn't like being alone. You may just have to suffer through it for awhile, until she gets used to being alone at night...I know I had to with some dogs...you have to be strong and eventually it will quit when it sees that crying all night doesn't do anything.

Answer 6

Put an ordinary ticking clock under the blanket in a corner of her dog bed. The rythmic sound will help to keep her calm.

Answer 7

my dog did that alot when she was younger. Try to not let her sleep too much during the day and try to wear her out before bed so she'll be really tired then she will sleep through the night

Answer 8

it's like having a baby, she is still learning about the world and how it works. you should go in there with her and comfort her, or give her a lovie. she is only 2 months old.....be nice to her still, start the discipline thing when she is at least 5 or 6months old....

Answer 9

sleep her in a crate next to your bed and let her out fisrt thing in the mornning to pee .... she might have an accident but a takes bit she is a puppy after all that what i did with mine and they still sleep in their crate in my room at 5 years old

Answer 10

Sleep with her. That'w what we always did, then they feel warm and secure. They outgrow the need later, but if you want sleep, put her on the bed.
