Re: how long to settle pup

Oscar cried when crated for a few nights. Some nights he did, some he didn't. By about 6 days, he wasn't crying in the crate at all. Oscar's been with us 5 weeks and, finally, we are in a routine. 24 hours is crazy, clearly they weren't prepared so it's a good thing the pup got returned.

Re: how long to settle pup

harley cries for a little while at night but i think its more habit now he sleeps in our room but in his own bed, he needs to come into bed for a ten min cuddle when we first go to bed then when he has had that he sleeps all night which is good as he has only been home for 3 days.
i got him at 10 weeks which was my choice some of his litter mates left at 8 weeks but i thought 10 weeks was fine and i think it has worked out well his toilet training has been good he has only had 1 accident since he came home and that was today when i was cooking and no one else thought to let him out .

Re: how long to settle pup

these people were warned that she might cry.they were told to try the teddy thing.they had picked her up at 5pm and was back at 9.30am the next day...taking into account they they had to travel for nearly 2 hours to get here....so i just think they didnt try.
pups sometimes cry that what they do....

Re: how long to settle pup

Mine took a week before he settled more at night had no probs in the day. He use whinney but we had to leave him to sort him self out. I tried not to go to him when he was crying alot as he was being a bit crafty.

Re: how long to settle pup

when i got my dog he was around 5wks old, abyss and his brothers n sisters had been dumped on a friend's doorstep when they were around 4wks old, there was 9 puppies in total and she couldn't care for them all, she managed to get them onto solid foods before some went to new homes, our 1st few days with abyss we had a lot of whining etc but we couldnt blame him for it, just the irresponsible original owners who had taken him away from his mum and dumped him, we gave him a teddy which did calm him down n helped him settle, now almost 1yr on he still has his teddy n takes it to bed with him still

the pics below were taken in the 1st couple of days that we had him, he's camera shy now so we dont have any good recent pics of him
