okay so i got my siberian husky pup on saturday and...what should i do about her constant whining?

Question

for last 5 days i've let her sleep in my bed with me because i bought her a crate but everytime i put her in it she freaks out to the point where she starts hurting herself and she starts screaming bloody murder she makes it sound like she is being torchered i've been trying to get her used to being in it but i've had no luck so far and she doesn't howl (otherwise i could handle it) she screams and its nothing but extremely loud piercing sharp sounds i would let her sleep with me in my bed again tonight but just last night i woke up with about 23 itchy bite marks all throughout my back and on my stomach a few on my arms and some on my face i've never experienced that before until she came we think it may be fleas but we are unsure because we haven't been able to find any on her i've messaged the breeder i bought her from but i haven't got a response yet on what she thinks it might be
so tonight i've put my husky in her crate because i just sprayed my room to kill whatever parasites

that may be roaming around so now that i've put her in the crate she is screaming and digging at it to get out but i need her to get used to being inside of it i have school tomorrow and i can't sleep she is just a baby 8 weeks old i put a clock next to the crate and i put her toys inside with her and i put some chew flips to keep her occupied and i put on some music but it doesn't seem to be helping i don't know what to do i am not going to put her outside because she is too young for that and i want her here with me inside the house i've also been trying to potty train her but i've had no luck with that either she's gone on my carpet so many times now that my room smelled horrible i just cleaned it today i aired out the entire place i sprayed my carpet and bed with bleach and let everything air out and now my room smells clean again so that is another reason i want her to stay in the crate but i don't know if i'm going to be able to sleep through all this screaming please help
thanks

and NO i will NOT get her de-barked that is cruel
and i would never ever consider it no matter what!!

i would frontline her (by the way her name is Shaddie) but she is too young for it isn't she??
the box says do not put on puppies under 12 weeks and i don't find flea collars to be effective
and a lot of flea shampoos say don't bath puppies under 12 weeks of age so i don't think i can do that either

i actually do have a couple of dog training books
i do have the book called Puppies for Dummies and i have another one just called Dog Training
i need the one called Siberian Huskies for dummies i think that book would help me Wonders but i can't seem to find that particular book anywhere i can find those books on every dog breed there is but i cannot find one on siberian huskies but i think i pretty much have the training books covered

The Breeder already took her to the vet the day before i picked her up the breeder told me the vet said she had no health problems & she was very healthy he did a check on her fur for any type of ring worms & things like that but said no she was fine & was ready to go i have all of Shaddies papers the breeder gave me Shaddies vet papers, her CKC registration papers, and a receit so everything regarding the vet is all in order. But i finally got a response back from the breeder she told me that the bite looking things may be an allergic reaction to Shaddies fur, because she said when i take her to the park she may lay in the grass and pick up something in her fur, she told me it happens to her to whenever her husky goes outside & laysdown in the dirt then comes inside & rubs agains her skin but i went to the doctor and they couldn't figure out what it was either but whatever it is i'm taking 3 different pills making 68 pills all together i have to take clarinex,
Valtrex, and Prednisone.

Answer 1

It sounds like she might be scared to be alone? or misses her litter mates. I have a 13 month old beagle and when i put her in her crate i put my pillow case in with her because it smelled like me she did OK. it took about 4 days for her to sleep all night...Having a new puppy is just like having a new baby..Have you tried putting a ticking clock by her bed and cover it with just enough light at the bottom so that the puppy doesn't see lots of movement..Sorry but it does sound like fleas...you did the right thing with the spraying of the room but give her a flea bath and get some flea drops from the vet so that you and her wont have to worry with the warmer weather coming up good luck...congrats on the puppy ....Vonda

Answer 2

She's a baby. She needs a parent she needs to feel that she is not in danger and know that you're there. I didn't allow my puppy to sleep with me in the bed, but for the first 3 nights, she slept in her crate in my room with a small blanket of mine that had my scent. She woke up every hour or so but after the 3rd night she was good. At that point i just moved her crate to the kitchen which is where i kept her confined while potty training her. She was already used to her crate so simply moving the crate to another room was not a problem. But I did have to check on her and take her out throughout the night. I was told by my vet every hour on the hour take her out so that she associates the outside and going potty.It requires a lot of patience and you will not sleep totally for the first week or 2 but if you really want this puppy you will make the effort.

As far as the fleas, did you take her the vet right after you purchased her? If you did your research on breeders thats the first thing anyone will tell you to do after buying. IMMEDIATELY take them to the vet. I took my puppy the day after i got her to get a clean bill of health and the breeder had informed previously, if I found anything wrong with her I could bring her back for a refund. Did you get that same promise??

Answer 3

Okay first of all the reason for per crying is that she was taken from her mother, and now you need to get a substitute for her, which means a hot water bottle filled with warm water, or a brick that has been warmed up in the oven of a two litre plastic bottle with warm water, so that she thinks she is still with her mother, she needs that warmth to feel secure. She could also be screaming because you close her up in it. You should try leaving the door open, maybe she won't scream anymore
As to the bite marks on your person it could be fleas, but I would say it is caused by the fur of the siberian husky, you might be allergic to the coat of the animal.
Each and everytime your puppy eats or drinks anything, take her out, when you catch her soiling your carpet take a rolled up newspaper and smack her on the bum, the sound scares them more than the smack is hard. This is something you are going to have to do on a regular basis so that she can learn she is doing something worth the smack, but it has to be as soon as she has done the deed, otherwise she is not going to know why she is getting that hiding

Answer 4

You need to get something for your dog's fleas! Get something from your vet so you know it's safe. In the meantime, you can give her a bath in Dawn dish washing liquid and keep her warm and dry afterward. This won't poison the fleas, just suffocate them.

The puppy is going to cry even more than she would have because she knows you're going to put her in bed with you if she does. No advice there....my puppy did the same thing, and I ended up sleeping with her every night. Eventually, I was able to put some blankets down at the side of the bed and she accepted that, instead. If you have carpeting and a puppy that isn't potty trained, this might not be an option for you. Good luck! Remember, the puppy went from being with her mom and siblings to being in a "box". You would cry too.

Answer 5

The first few nights or week is the worst. Puppies are accustomed to being with their dog family and now mom is gone and the pup is scared. As another person mentioned you will just have to grin and bare it and put her in the kennel. You might want to try it for a few hours at a time to get her more accustomed to it. You don't want to completely traumatize the puppy, and this can happen. Anyway, build your way up to a full night.

About peeing; well, you have your hands full, whether or not you know it. A puppy is not going to be able to hold its pee for more than a couple of hours during the day, and really, about every 30 minutes to an hour is closer. During the night, at least for a while, and you are going to hate this, you are going to have to put the pup to bed late, let it pee just before putting her in the crate, then go for about 4 hours max, get up and take her outside to pee, then back in the crate. But if you wait more than about 4 hours you are pushing it at that age. They just can't hold it that long. Dogs do not want to mess up their sleeping areas so if you let the dog urinate and defecate inside the crate you will be teaching it that that is okay, and you really will have a biootch of a time house training it.
To recap, during the day, immediately after all naps, after all play times, and within 30 minutes of all eating the dog needs to be taken outside. If you do not stick to this routine your house training efforts will take forever. Each time the dog does it business outside, praise it a lot, give it snacks, rubs, hugs ect. Don't bother punishing it for peeing inside, its a dog, it does not know what a house is okay, it just needs to pee. You simply can not give the dog free reign in the house, it will need very, very close supervision. I could go on forever, you need to get to the bookstore and buy a book, something like Dog Training for Dummies, thats a good one, and it has loads of tips for training dogs, what works and doesn't, and how to house break dogs.

Last note, you have got to get some odor remover sold especially for pet stains. It contains a bacteria that will eat the organic matter that is causing the odors. You can buy this stuff by the gallon, and you may need that much. Just go to the nearest pet store, they will have some.

I hope some of this helps and best of luck, you have your hands full doing it alone.

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/NzvHv

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.
.
Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Answer 7

Your first mistake was giving in to her crying, and allowing her to sleep in your bed. Don't yell at her when she cries, and leave her in the crate at night. Put some toys in there for her, and ALWAYS ignore the crying. If you talk to her, or let her out when she cries, you have lost the battle, and she learns that when she cries, she gets her way. Don't forget to let her out to go to the bathroom at least once during the night.. Also, your bites are almost guaranteed to be flea bites. A huskies fur is thick, and fleas will not always be visible. Stick with the crate training, don't give in to her whining, and she will learn. Don't put her in the crate when your angry, as you don't want her to associate the crate as a bad thing.

Answer 8

Put her in the cage during the day and place a hot water with her, she will think it is her mother after doing this a few time she settle down

Answer 9

Yes its fleas. Let her cry in the crate. She will get over it. It is harder on you then them the first few nights. But suck it up and then you will have peace and your own bed.

Answer 10

There is an easy way. Bring your Husky to a vet.
