How can i keep my puppy from crying at night?

Question

I've just adopted this little puppy. It's a mixed breed of fox terrier and he's about 1 and a half months old. He gets scared or lonely at night and he starts crying and howling until someone goes and plays with him.
I dont want to spoil it, and i dont want to bother my neighbours with his howling, so: How can i keep him from crying at night?

Things i've already tryed:
*Giving him a teddy bear.
*Giving him a shoe (He likes to sleep on my feet).
*Giving him an old t-shirt.
*Letting him cry (He didnt stop in about fifteen minutes and i started worrying about my neighbours... It was like 2am)
*Keeping the lights on. (He didnt even care. It seems that he's not afraid of the dark).

Other info:
*He has a pet house made of a cardboard box, in a warm (but not suffocating) part of the house.
*He has a bowl of milk and one of water near him (he eats by himself).
*I wont, by any means, let him sleep on my bed.

Thanks beforehand!

Answer 1

Try leaving on a radio so that he can hear voices & music so he won't feel so alone - that's what I do for my dog. Also, I've heard that if you give them a ticking clock wrapped in a towel - it's like a heartbeat to them - I haven't tried it myself but I've heard it works like a charm.

well when I first brought my dog home (female husky) she howled the first few nights, I tried everything except for the radio and television. One night I left the radio on and it helped. the next night I put the tv on and set it to go off like in a hour. For a few weeks I left the radio on and she never howled after that. give it a shot it couldn't hurt. I would be extra careful not to give the puppu too much before you go to bed as puppies cannot hold their poop and pee in for too long. That is something we learned very quickly. But if all doesn't work, the only other thing to do is let the puppy cry. If you pick the puppy up all the time it cries, the puppy will constantly do it all the time.

they say that if you put a regular wind up alarm clock with a new puppy that ticks it will help them to cope better or a baby toy that has the sound of the mothers heartbeat these are supposed to help sooth the puppy and remind him of being in the womb good luck and have a good day

Answer 4

I agree with the ticking clock next to the kennel. worked like a charm for me. I also put his kennel right next to the bed for a week and then started to move it slowly away each night and eventually downstairs.

You should get a dog crate rather than a box for him to sleep in, that way you can put in an common area of your home and your dog won't feel secluded and away from the action.

Answer 6

Try putting an old fashioned wind up ticking clock in bed with him. It will remind him of Mom's heartbeat.

First, your domestic dog is having this manner of annoying time being on my own simply by fact domestic dogs would desire to be with their mothers and muddle friends until they seem to be a minimum of 8 weeks previous. She is in simple terms too youthful to be removed from them and this is making her transition harder. attempt putting heat bottle of water in along with her under a blanket, this could convenience her fairly. additionally at six weeks there's no way she will carry all of it evening, in case you attempt to potty prepare her you will desire to arise at evening to allow her out, a minimum of as quickly as. as quickly as you place her to mattress, this is taken into consideration necessary which you do not supply her ANY interest, stable or undesirable, until she is quiet. She is crying for any variety of interest, or perhaps once you're saying no or shh (which she doesnt understand yet in any case) you're giving her interest, that's a advantages for her. positioned her to mattress and positioned some earplugs in and bypass to mattress. After some nights she will settle into the habitual and quit crying, this is in simple terms considered necessary which you hard it out for awhile and forget approximately approximately her. stable success. i'm additionally variety of curious why to procure a dogs in case you predict a baby, and at that element it type of seems such as you will kick the dogs out of the homestead...this does not look very honest for the dogs, perhaps you will desire to call the breeder and ask in the event that they'd discover the dogs a house that it's going to be enjoyed and component to the kinfolk for its finished existence?

He needs to see you. If you can invest in an open kennel and place it to where the pup can see you, he'll stop crying.
