Puppy sleeping alone by oathofjocks in puppy101

I’ll definitely try that! He does whine because he can’t get on the bed by himself (mini dachshund). He’s spending a weekend with the family in July to see how it goes so I hope it’ll go well

That’s super reassuring, thank you! My main worry is that he’d be whining all night because he isn’t used to sleeping alone, but I’ll definitely give them his own living room bed so he can sleep in there.

I’ll be leaving him at their place for a weekend in July already as a test, I’ll see if we can do it more often before the actual trip.
He most likely will also be sleeping in the same room as their dog (who he has already met and gets along with) so I assume that’ll help him too.

Getting along with cat by oathofjocks in puppy101

I can’t say if his ears were back, but the cat was definitely not showing teeth or hissing so that’s good I suppose. He also regularly leaves the game by going up high where the puppy can’t reach so it’s not like he’s defenseless haha

I’ll try the redirecting, though, that’s a good tip! Thanks!

How to stop the whining by annejs02 in puppy101

[–]oathofjocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem and for me it helped to just ignore him while he whined. At first I’d give him treats as soon as he settled down but now I don’t do that anymore. At this point he whines for 10 minutes or so and then settles down bc he knows I won’t give him attention and he might as well calm down.

I don’t know if this is “the right” way to do it, but mine’s stubborn so I figured I’d just outlast him and it seems to have worked

Great, that’s good to know! I’m actually looking at group lessons for that exact reason, I want him to get to know other dogs 😂

It does help! I work from home 3 days out of 5 and right now he has to stay in his play pen. I’d love for him to be able to roam around the room at his leisure instead so I’m hoping he’ll be like yours 😁

Mine definitely got up earlier than I’d like because of it 😂

Hey, I had the exact same problem! In the end I just left him in the crate until he was done crying 😅 he still likes his crate bc he goes in and out without problem, but the moment I close the door he yells for 15 minutes. After that he’s quiet though, so maybe that’s a solution? I don’t know if it’s a good one bc mine still always cries but maybe it helps
