how do you get a puppy ( about a month and a half ) to stop whining and crying?

Question

Please Great Lord , make it stop!!!

Answer 1

Great Lord; it is a puppy and that is what they do just like a baby ; first they have been ripped away from their Mom and siblings ; you would whine and cry too; you need to realize this is a baby ! Love , patience , training and understanding goes a long way; didn't you know how a puppy acts? Exercise him; play with him; socialize him with other animals, give him challenges; toys with treats; change them by rotating to avoid boredom ; everlasting treat balls; treat balls that dispense treats when rolled etc etc; if you have him locked in a crate that's a problem; need to put toys/treats in the crate and leave the door open so he can go in and out at will and get to know that place as the best place in the house, his den; they you can leave him in the crate no problem; he is crying and whining b/c he is unhappy, not stimulated; not exercised and the only person that he has to love him is you so if you leave he misses the one person who feeds him and gives him some companionship ; look at it a different way; I have raised two litters of pups; time x patience x training x love x understanding = a great adult dog ; the difference is your investment; he is very young to have left his Mom; my pups didn't leave until 10 weeks old ; be patient and help him over his misery of being away from the family that he knew for such a short time.

Answer 2

When you get a very young puppy, you can keep him with you at nights for 3-7 days. After that, you have to simply ignore the whining completely. Usually, if you're consistent enough, it will stop within a week or so.
If the problem persists, you might need to apply a slightly stronger correctional technique, making sure to impress upon the puppy that you're in charge.
It's true the pup probably misses his mom or something, but if you give into it now, you'll be stuck with a bad dog later. It's your choice and your responsibility.

Addendum: Having raised three dogs myself, it really surprises me how much bad advice people give in here.
Don't shower the pup in love endlessly, this will make it spoiled and disobedient later. You have to be firm after a little while, or later the dog will walk all over you or even become dangerous to you or others.
Also, you cannot teach a month and a half old pup anything yet, they're too young for that now. Wait until they're a few months along and have at least properly mastered their motor skills before you start placing real demands on them.

Puppies have a natural instinct inside that causes them to
whimper and whine when they are alone. It’s because dogs are
social creatures, much like humans. When they’re alone, they may
feel nervous or frightened. Before dogs were made into “man’s (or
woman’s) best friend,” they ran the land in wild packs. They
hunted, ate and slept together.

When you leave your puppy alone at night, especially during his
first few weeks at his new home, he is getting used to the
environment. He’ll most likely whine or cry. It could last the
whole nightlong. The best thing you can do is to soothe him, but
not cuddle him to sleep. Remember, you’re trying to establish
your role as leader and caretaker. There is a different time to
cuddle.

There is, however, a lot you can do to help put your new dog to
sleep, to make him feel comfortable in his new environment. Don’t
throw in the towel too early! Instead, try throwing him one of
your laundered t-shirts to sleep beside. In his puppy room or
crate, he’ll surely feel like you’re near when he smells your
shirt close. It will be as if there’s someone beside him, as if
his mother were with him in the wild outdoors.

If this fails, try moving his puppy crate to your bedroom for the
night. If he continues to whine, try tapping the cage once
forcefully. Then, in a low firm voice say, “No. Sleep,” or “No.
Quiet.” This may sound harsh, but if you snuggle or cuddle him to
sleep, you will actually be re-enforcing his whining behavior.
He’ll associate his whine with your loving attention. Try
throwing in a chew toy for him to suckle.

If you aren’t training with a crate, bring the puppy into your
room with a leash. Attach it to the wall or to the bottom
bedpost. Line the floor with newspapers around him. You can also
give him a chew toy. Here, if the puppy whines or moves around a
lot, repeat the above verbal commands. Tap the nightstand with
your hand as you tell your puppy to be quiet (it’s akin to
tapping the cage with some force). With both situations, you can
throw him a t-shirt for good measure. Or, you can even try a
ticking clock or radio beside the puppy at night. This is also
helpful if when you are away from your new puppy during the day.
The constant noise is very soothing.

One thing will surely help: be sure your puppy eliminates and is
played with vigorously before bedtime so he’s not riled up.

Much of this can be applied to older dogs too. You may not have
to take him out as often, but be sure to allow him to go to the
bathroom and receive some attention before bedtime. In any case,
you will have to teach your puppy or pooch that he will be
soothed and loved, but that there are bedtime rules.

It will seem like a lot of work, and you may lose some sleep.
But, take your time. And, before you know it, your puppy or dog
will sleep soundly, which will allow you and your family to sleep
the whole night through.

good luck i hope this helps :)

It needs the sound of a hart beat. or it may need a vet. At that age it still wants to be near its mom. Put it in a box with a clock that ticks( that will sound like an alarm clock) and a warm water bottle. That way it will think mom is near.
dogs are not kids If you treat a dog like a kid you will have dog with really bad habits. Treating a dog like a kid is a good way to get an aggressive dog. It may help you to read a few books on dog behavior. The most important being that if there is not a pack leader the dog will fell the need to become the pack leader. If you do not like to read watch the dog whisperer on tv.

Answer 5

This pup is too young to be away from it's mother. Are you getting help from your vet so that your pup doesn't have developmental problems? This needs to be addressed before anything else. Whining and crying at this age is a direct rsult of that puppy needing to be with the rest of it's litter.

Answer 6

Sounds like you picked the most dependant pup of the litter. If pup is crying during the day, try and rule out why. If he cries in kennel/crate, ignore till he stops then let out. If he cries for no good reason during the day, distract him with a toy, play with him and really tire him out then crate for a nap. If he cries at night (in crate or bed area) soothe with ticking clock, or hot water bottle, or soft blanket. But do not give in to whiney behavior if it's a cry for your attention during nap or sleep times. This will put the dog in the more dominant posistion. Make sure your puppy is getting lots of positive attention and interaction and he gets fed enough in intervals and potty multiple times during the day and at least once at night.

Answer 7

I hope you are talking about whining and crying at night. Usually a clock where he can hear the ticking sounds help. It reminds him of his mother. If you are talking about during the day he is probably in need of some attention. If none of that helps you might seek a vets assistance.

Answer 8

Spend a lots of time with your puppy, I just got a puppy whose 8wks. when i got her. Shes now with us for 10 days and we can leave her now to go to sleep alone downstairs, on the living room. We used to sleep on our couch in the living room and just try to ignore her when she cries. Let her know that you are there but there are boundaries. Its very sad, but you really need to set the rules. Ones she got used to with her crate, She now goes there to sleep. We open the crate bec. she knows now where to potty. Just by knowing that we are there around her, makes her stop crying. Now she is used to with our routine and house rules.
During the first four days, I really feel guilty when she cries. Give him/her time to adjust with your new home. Make sure you spend time with the puppy for the first week so that she will feel more secure around you and the house. Good luck and congratulations. Theyre really great pets!!!!

Answer 9

You need to have patience - It's perfectly normal for a very young puppy to cry a lot when you first bring them home.

The pup is still very young and misses it's mother and litter-mates. Give it lots of love and time - It will all get better with time as it gets comfortable with it's new surroundings.

Answer 10

your puppy is lonely. they are used to being with other puppies. Wherever he or she sleeps you need to get it a stuffed animal for pets. Get one that is only a bit larger than the puppy and only give it to the puppy when it sleeps. Maybe keep the puppy by you and talk to it and comfort it. Sometimes it just needs to know it isnt alone. That worked with mine.
