Puppy advice???

Question

My 9 week old pug pup constantly cries through the night when i leave her alone & i'm scared the neighbours complain. I put her in the laundry & leave a teddy in with her but she still whines & last night i woke up at 2.30am cause i couldn't take it anymore & put my other dog in with her & she stopped crying. How do i make her stop without having to put my dog inside with her? see i work during the day so i leave my other dog inside to keep her company but at night i normally put her (my other dog) outside, so she can do her business and whatever and bring her in about 6.00am to spend the rest of the day with my new pup. I have done spoken to some people & they say to put her in my room and some say leave her to cry & some say leave my other dog with her. She cries loud & i don't want people to complain.

The reason to why i let my other dog out at night is because she is 2 years old now and toilet trained and since i got my new pup she has started going on the news paper that i put down for my puppy.

Answer 1

An easy way to put this is like this comapare your puppy to a baby. Puppies are simply that babies. They cry when they are hungry , cold , or scared. Truth is taht you are looking about a year of crying , chewing , and crazy behavior . Puppies do that . So if your puppy cries alot try feeding him or giving hin a blanket also touch is very important so hold him. Remember !!!!! COW MILK IS NOT GOOD FOR PUPPIES!!!! It is far too strong for a puppy after all it was ment for calves...lol

Puppies should not be taken from their mother until they are at least six (6) weeks old, but preferably wait until they are eight (8) weeks old. The thing first that I would do is to get a box or possibly a crate. Secondly, I would get a hot water bottle and fill it with very, very warm water. Then wrap the hot water bottle in a towel. The hot water bottle will help the puppy to stay warm, even if the puppy is in the house. The next thing that you need to get is a clock that winds up. Wind it up, and place it next to the hot water bottle. These two things together will help remind the puppy of the mother and litter mates warmth and the clock will help to simulate their heartbeat. You have to remember that dogs are pack animals and it is in their nature to sleep together for warmth and comfort. If you ever watch a nature show, you will see this behavior time and time again!!!
Do this for a week or two and hopefully the puppy will learn become comfortable in your home and stop crying at night.
Hope this helps you with your problem. Don't give up!!!

When I first got my 10-week old pom, I put her in a room by herself alone. On the first night, she cried once, but on the second night, she cried every two hours and I couldn't sleep at all because I was worried that my neighbours would complain, so everytime she cried, I walked into the room, told her to stop in a stern voice and then ignored her. And the crying stopped from the third night onwards. Now my baby seldom barks or cries, and whenever she barks or cries for no reason, I will tell her to stop, making her know that it is unacceptable.

let your puppy sleep outside with the other dog, maybe in a fenced off area for the first couple of weeks. She is more than likely crying because her friend is taken awayf rom her every night. The other dog will look after her and see her through the night time. Remember-dogs were initially wild outdoor animals with nocturnal habits

Answer 5

Poor puppy! Your pup needs to know she has a safe place, I agree with the crate, dogs were once cave animals, it's there instinct. Never use a crate as a punishment, your pup should go there cause it's there safe space. Make sure it's large enought for them to move around in. I reccommend a barred one, so they can see around it, you might want to cover half of it up with a towel if that makes it feel better though. Good luck! :)

Also, be aware that dogs are naturally social animals like their wolf cousins...meaning that they live in groups. Their instinct is to be with other dogs (and people), not to be alone, especially at night. Crating does help a dog with insecurity, but if it isn't such a big deal, why not let your other dog sleep with the puppy at night?

Answer 7

This worked for me.
I put my mattress on the floor and made a bed for my dog right beside the mattress.
As long as the dog can be near you they will sleep right thru the night. They can hear you breathing. They feel safe.
Do this for a few days. At least 5 days, then put your mattress back on the bed and keep place the dogs bed beside yours. Let him or her fall asleep in your bed then place the dog down on his bed. The dog will sleep. He or she might want to come up on the bed, but just say no. Sometimes animals get frighten and as long as they know you will hug them for a bit, the fear will start to leave them.

This worked well for me. And my dog still sleeps on the floor beside my bed, but I always let him fall asleep in my bed first then place him down on his bed when he is half asleep.

You have to remember that your pup was with her litter mates for all of her life. Shes not use to being alone.Try playing a radio for her. also some pet stores have stuffed animals that have a heart beat inside so it feels like she is still in the womb. good luck

Answer 9

I would put the other dog in with her or put her in your room. She is crying because she is alone. She should eventually grow out of this, but probably not before your neighbors complain.

Answer 10

crate training works best. put her in everynight with her towel & teddy. make sure the crate isn't too big though. you want her to be comfy, but not have so much room that she potty's inside. things will get better. good luck
