Answer 2

How did you get your hands on a 6 week old puppy? She isn't ready to leave her mother and littermates for almost another month.

You have two options:

a) Take her back to her mother and littermates. She still has a lot of growing up to do with them, behaviour-wise. Puppies that are taken from their litter too early don't get the time needed to socialise and learn important things like bite-inhibition.

b) Ignore her. It sounds cruel, but if she learns that whining and crying is going to get her attention, she is going to be whining all day and all night from now on. Give her a warm blanket, perhaps a hot water bottle and a clock wrapped up in something that smells like you. Put her crate in your room; it might make her feel more secure to be closer to you. Beyond that, there's not much more you can do.

Answer 3

A 6 week old puppy is not mature enough to understand being comfortable while alone, they are still extremely dependent. Most puppies are only just starting to wean at 6 weeks, give her a break! Crate train her with a nice doggy crate, and keep it near you so she can sense your presence. Each week, move the crate farther away from where you sleep at night, until she is out of the room completely at night. By 2 or 3 months or so, she should be perfectly comfortable sleeping by herself, since she will be assured of her security.

Answer 4

You don't! A six week old puppy is very young and they should actually still be with mom at this age. Unless you are with her 24/7, she will not stop until she is between 8 and 12 weeks old. The crying is called being a puppy. They are just like babies and they want attention and will let you know when they want it!

Answer 5

As everyone else has said, 6 weeks is way too young for a puppy to be taken, and if you don't believe me, just read all the questions on here about puppies being aggressive and such because they were taken from their litter too early. They should be 8 weeks at the very earliest.
If taking the pup back is not an option, or if she does it later, ignore her. Don't coddle her or comfort her because it just encourages her to do it more. Get her a good sturdy crate where you know she is safe, give her toys and blankets and let her be.

Answer 6

Your puppy is feeling very lonely. At 6 weeks, this is a very hard time for your puppy to be away from it's litter mates. Try to make his living space warm and comfy. Put on some soft music and if you can find a loud ticking clock, set that next to him or in the same room..the rhythmic ticking sound will resemble a heart beat imitating the sounds of the heartbeats of his litter mates and mother.

Answer 7

I found that when my dog went through this stage, that if I gave him plenty of toys to keep him occupied, and played with him to tire him out - this usually helped, and now he doesn't even cry at all. I think all puppies go through this stage, at 6 weeks, puppies are used to being with their mother and the other puppies, so it is a big adjustment when you take them from that situation. Be patient and give your puppy lots of love, affection and stimulation through play and toys and I am sure you will both be fine. Good Luck

Answer 8

A 6 week old puppy will be scared to death to be away from it's mom and littermates. You can't "make" it stop crying, any more than you can "make" a baby stop crying. She needs to be held and well fed, and needs time to grow up a little before expecting this kind of behavior from her.

Answer 9

while domestic canines cry they're usually hungry, or something is incorrect. because you're saying that he cries even after he has eaten, you may particularly have him appeared at via a vet, which you will have achieved already. there may be some underlying subject which you will no longer see. Its considerable which you get a puppy this youthful to a vet if this lots crying is going on. After the domestic canines pass to their abode..SPAY YOUR lady. it particularly is not something a breeder that is familiar with what they're doing might ask. you may have taken it to the vet way till now.

Answer 10

Cover its kennel with a blanket and put a little radio or ticking clocking in or by its kennel the ticking is soothing to the dog and the radio will make the dog think people are in the house and wont be aware he or she is alone

Answer 11

You really can't.

It just takes time for the puppy to grow out of it.

You can do all sorts of things, like toys, and what not, sometimes it will work, but not all the time. Get the days and nights established early.

But it is just going to take time.
