Re: New puppy
Hi,
Your puppy is not been naughty,she is doing what puppies do.
It's up to us to teach and guide them.
Toilet training - Puppies do not usually have any control until they are around 5-6 months old,they need to go out often,every hour,after play,mealtimes,sleep etc...stay out there with her and praise and reward when she goes outside.Persnally I don't like training pads or newspaper as I think it takes longer to train them,as you are giving the signal it's ok to go indoors.If she goes indoors,don't say anything t her,completely ignore what she has done and put her outside,clean the area with a biological washing powder.
We found by taking ours to bed with us and settling them in their crates also helped,we gradually moved them downstairs.
It sounds like your puppy is barking for attention, and if you are taking her upstairs you are rewarding the barking,dogs catch on to these things very quickly.You may want to just check on her,make sure she doesn't want to go to toilet etc...then settle her down and ignore her,if taking her upstairs isn't an option.
You need to be consistant,ignore the bad behaviour, reward and praise the good.It will take time & patience.
Good Luck!!!
