Answer 2

Dear, In response to this question, My 10 week old puppy wont stop crying, I've tried everything!?, I tell you that take a look at this guide ASPCA Complete Dog Training Manual it might help you As you asked; "I got a Jack Russell puppy a 10 days ago and he is 9 weeks and 6 days old. During the day he stays in the kitchen with a crate which is left open for him as he gets scared when I ask" I hope it might help you. All the Best :)

Answer 3

If you are crate training the pup do not go to him or pay attention of any kind to him while he is in the crate. You will get to know his cries to go potty-usually a high pitched whinny cry-,take him potty then right back to the crate without a lot of hugs and kisses right before you put him in (reward him right when he is going potty then nothing). When you go to work do not make a big fuss-pick him up say go to your crate put a few toys in with him and turn on a radio or leave the tv on for him. He should be taken out to potty every 2-3 hours at that age then gradually less often as he gets older during the day. Stop all food and water 3-4 hours before bed and that will lessen the trips out during the night. Make sure he is getting plenty of exercise when you are home with him and I suggest a nice 30 minute walk at night to help tire him out. Try to keep a consistent schedule of feeding,pottying,playing everyday and that will help get him on a normal routine which is better for him and you.

It's not so much a training issue as it is a security issue. At 6 weeks, a puppy is still very much a baby baby, and like any baby, needs the closeness and social interaction of it's family. You are now it's family, or pack. It would have been best if the puppy had been left with it's mother and littermates until it was at least 8 weeks old, as that last two weeks includes lots of social training that will affect the puppy as it grows and learns. So, now y'all get to be momma and siblings, =-)

I recommend lots of cuddling and gentle roughhousing when it is with you, and when you need to go to bed, develop a routine. Feed your baby, and take it out to piddle and do it's business about 15 min before bed time. Cuddle and brush the puppy, then, put the puppy in it's crate with a hot water bottle, and a smelly nasty sweat soaked t-shirt, or something that you don't mind getting chewed on or pooped on, from each of the family members. This will make the little guy feel more secure. At 6 weeks, their eyesight is still developing, and smell is very important! Let him/her cry for a little bit until he/she goes to sleep. In a few days, this should get to be a shorter and shorter time. But, be sure that if the puppy wakes up at night, to take it out! Very young puppies need to eat every 6 or so hours, and the same goes for potty breaks. If the puppy knows it will be attended to as soon as it has a legit need, it will adapt better to being separated for bed time.

As for work, I wouldn't leave a 6 week old puppy alone for more than 4 hours. Just like bedtime, establish a routine. After breakfast, play with the puppy, take it to potty, and put it in a secure area (I use the crate, it's not cruel, dogs are den animals, and mine love the crate! They will go in when it's open, and hang out,) Be sure to toss in something that smells like you, that you don't mind if it gets pooped on or chewed up. Say "By puppy!", and off you go. Be back in 4 hours for lunch and potty break, spend about 30 min with the puppy. Repeat the good-by routine. I could take my puppy to work, so it was no big deal for me.

Be sure to change the shirts every few days, with new smelly ones, =-) Don't use shoes, or for the rest of the pup's life, shoes will be play toys,...

Answer 5

I agree, a puppy that young shouldn't be left for more than a few hours at a time. If you can't help that, I would look into asking someone to check on them or maybe a professional dog walker/pet sitter (if you have extra money!) to help check on him/her while you're at work all day.

Are you using a crate? I would definitely suggest you do. Make sure it's comfortable and has some toys and bones in there for fun when you aren't around. It will become your puppy's room and he/she will like to hang out there even when you're around!

Other than that, it's possible that like my puppy, he or she is just being a baby and doesn't want you to go. My dog whines and barks loudly when I'm on myw ay out but she stops once I'm out the door. I put her in the crate last minute on my way out the door and drop in some short term treats that can give her something to concentrate on while I leave.

Answer 7

Why did you get a puppy when you know you are out at work all day.? It's so unfair to leave a tiny baby of 6 weeks old all alone for such a long time. A puppy needs constant supervision and at least 4 meals per day at this age. Who is going to feed it? Have you made provisions for someone to go in during the day to give the puppy its meals?

The puppy will poop and pee everywhere. Someone needs to be there to pick it up otherwise it will walk and roll in it.

I am sorry to sound harsh but I think this is totally irresponsible and I feel you should have thought this out before embarking on adding this puppy to your family.

I do not let my puppies go to people to work all day unless they can assure me that they will make provisions for the puppy, i.e. having someone going in regularly throughout the day to feed the pup and clean up after him, and above all give him/her some loving and re-assurance.

This puppy should still be with the Dam and his litter for at least another 4 weeks.

Please try and understand your puppy's needs .

Answer 8

Put a clock wrapped in a blanket or towel inside the crate. Oh, I highly suggest crate training. This gives them a nice little secure place and they will start to feel at home there. Supposedly the idea is the ticking clock reminds them of their mother's heartbeat. Plus, some heavy duty playtime before bed will tire puppy out.

Answer 9

Well he misses his mom, cause he was taken away too early.. You have to find a way to comfort him, without sucking him up.. Nice fluffy soft blanket, some people give them a ticking clock, some people take the puppy to bed with them...
You can't go to work 8 hours a day and leave a 6 week old puppy alone and not expect it to pee and poop in the house right?!?

Answer 10

If you can go home during lunch time and play with him and eat your lunch at your house. If a radio is near where the puppy sleeps/lays/plays while your gone turn it on and down low. Dogs are supposed to be comforted because they can hear voices like people are home with it. I hope you have it in a crate if its not house trained. I give my dog regular Cheerios (not Honey nut) before I leave because they are healthy for him. And he has to go in his crate and he knows that if he goes in there he gets a treat. 6 weeks is very young for a dog to be left alone. But I got my dog when he was 10 weeks old but it was in the summer so I was home with him for a while.
Hope I helped!

Answer 11

Well, seeing how he was taken from his mom 2 weeks early, this is what you get.

He's anxious, and he might be severely traumatized because he was taken so early.

You could try to crate him, with blankets and stuffed animals for comfort. And lots of love upon return, but he's just an infant and now he's all alone. The world is a scary place for him. It's no wonder he's crying.
