I'm probably being way too premature here, but I need advise on how to
handle our new whiney pup.
She's a min pin, and is just over 8 weeks old. We brought her home on
Saturday.
The first night, she cried REALLY LOUDLY for about 15 minutes every
hour. We had her in the kitchen - in an x-pen with her crate inside -
the crate open. I spent most of the day with her Sunday, but gave her
2 or 3 "alone times" in her crate with the door shut. She cried for a
few minutes, but then calmed.

Last night, I decided to put her in the crate with the door closed, to
limit the stimulation - and because it had worked during the day.
Well, she HOWLED for 4 hours straight. I tried making startling
sounds, but it didn't phase her. Finally, I opened her crate and
gave her access to the x-pen. She still cried all night.

I think we're going to go insane. We've ignored her for hours - all
the books say that she'll quiet if you leave her. Well, it only seems
to get worse.
What can we do? 2 nights no sleep is very wearing. We're asking
ourselves - what have we done! I'm just about ready to phone the
breeder an give her back without a refund. We're both in medical
professions, and need to concentrate at work.

Should she be in the crate in our bedroom? My biggest worries with
that is that we live in a townhome, and we really don't want to get
our neighbours angry with her persistent crying.

HELP!!! Any advise, tips, suggestions would be welcomed... But
HURRY! I don't know how much longer I can go without sleep.

Put her in a shut crate next to your bed, and everyone will be happier!

She's a baby puppy who you're isolating. That's pretty scary for her.
Spend TIME with her. As much as you can.

Yes.

My biggest worries with

The bedroom should stop that.

You probably don't want to hear this, but, Min Pins have to sleep
under the covers with you. They need that closeness. They get cold
easyly. mine always has to be on my lap or on my husbands. They don't
like to be ome alone either. Sorry.

What Janet said.

Dogs are *social.* They are not solitary. You've just gotten a puppy who
was taken from a group living situation - with his mom and his litter - and
you are leaving him ALONE.

That's frightening, especially for a puppy.

Put a mechanical alarm clock in the box with her, the ticking is a
comforting sound.
