how can i stop my puppy crying??

Question

i also have a 2 year old *****. i would of thought she would not do it as she has her to look after her and keep her company

Answer 1

pick her up and talk to her. get her used to being in the bathroom until old enough to not rip up things.

Answer 2

I'm guessing she's pretty new to your home. She's just missing her littermates & mom & when you leave the room, she doesn't understand that you'll be right back. What I did sounds weird, but it really does help. I tell her, "I'm right here," and I keep repeating it while I'm upstairs or wherever. They are smart & after a day or two, she'll understand.

The crying will cease with time. The first few days are horrible - crying at night is the hardest. I put lots of soft toys & blankets in her crate & did the hot water bottle (wrapped in a towel) thing. It really helped.

Answer 3

My pup did the same thing. Give your puppy a stuffed toy and also an ticking alarm clock to mock a heart beat and but the alarm clock under the stuffed toy. Put it where the puppy sleeps. This will pass just be supportive and hug the baby a lot in the meantime. The pup is just adjusting. Good luck!

You must have a very young pup, that is, one that is under 3 months of age. Usually young pups will whine when left alone. They aren't used to it. They had their mothers and their littermates. Suddenly, they are taken away from all that, plopped down in a strange home with strange people. It is a tough transition, so please be patient and understanding.

The good news is that this whining means the puppy is bonding with you. She already wants to be around you all the time. This bond is one that the two of you will share throughout her life. Don't be too quick to dismiss her whines - it's a sign of a good thing.

That said, it can and is annoying. Fortunately, age will take care of this. As she ages, she'll be more independent and won't whine when you aren't around as much. Also, you can slowly begin the process of teaching her that whimpering isn't good (I often use a "hush" at first, and slowly progress to a more loud, "enough" or "Stop!").

If she's brand new to your home, try to spend as much time as you can with her these first few days. Then just let her grow. My pups still follow me around, but days of whining are almost gone (unless one really wants something).

Answer 5

Young puppies will sometimes do this when left alone, even for short periods. It is generally a phase they outgrow, but you should handle it correctly so that is does not become an issue of separation anxiety as she gets older. Give her lots of attention, but don't reward her with attention when she cries. Leave to use the potty without making a big fuss and don't make a big fuss when you return eihter . Eventually, she will get used to the fact that you leave sometimes but always come back and it's no big deal. If you make a big fuss when you leave or return, that will just reinforce her anxiety that being left alone is frightening or dangerious.

Answer 6

You can also try putting a soft stuffed animal in the puppy's sleeping area or with it when you are away. This sometimes helps it not feel quite so lonely (kinda like another puppy from the litter). If he cries at night try putting a ticking clock in the bed with him. This sometimes helps.

The 2 year old is just another puppy in your dogs eyes, not the MOTHER, she/he is just upset and can not see you, normal.. but can lead to major problems if you react to it. However upon return from downstairs make your pup settle down before touching talking or any playfull reconition to him/her. Never let a crying pup out of the crate uless you know for sure they have to potty. CRYING PUPs ALWAYS get put outside in my world. Cry means I have to potty in my house. But if outside has just been offered prior to going upstairs then Fuss and tell them to settle before letting them be with you. Timing is the key here, as soon as the pup stops crying go right to him and attend Otherwise you have rewarded the cry. It all takes time. The key is always respond the same way each and everytime. Dogs learn faster this way. No means no.

This is what I do when crate training house training young pups.

First a crate is a must!!! If your not able to give 100% hands on with your pup then put him/her in the crate as you would your 2 year old in a playpen. This will keep the pup from peeing on floors or getting into something harmful. Always offer "outside" when taking out of crate. If you work: here is a key for you.....
Take care of pup first... go potty (carry him outside!!!)... take care of baby..... Feed baby.... and feed pup at same time.... pup back out side after eating/watering.... pick up uneaten food and water...until next feeding....(never leave water down when trying to potty train any puppy) put pup in crate with a "knuclebone" knuclebones are ONLY for crate time Never let pup have it outside of crate (no water in crates) and finish taking care of baby. Now get yourself ready. Leave house...........Come home go straight to crate pick pup up SAY NOTHING BUT "OUTSIDE" and not in a baby voice, do not touch or play with pup until potty has taking place!!! THEN you can baby talk love pet and play oh how fun a new pup is!!! Keep up with that the same way every time and you will see many things take place.....Potty training is coming along, crying has stop, and your frustration has ended....altleast with the pup that is!! And understand between you and your pup and what is exspected out of him/her.

One other tip that has never failed me. I put a cow bell on the "potty door" (tie it with a string, have hang low enough for the pup to "hit it" with nose or paw, it works and works fast. Ring it right in front of pups nose each and everytime you offer "outside" and say the word outside!! Also put water outside in a place your happy with. Making the only place the pup can drink from. Pups will learn faster where the water is than where to potty. So by having the water outside the pup will ask to go outside and learn to "hit the bell", and inturn have a chance to potty in the right place. I use the bell because I can hear it no matter where I am in the house, upstairs as well!! I also have 2 story 2800sq home and can hear my bell. Good luck and any other tips I can help with I would be glad to. [e-mail]
