Tibetan terrier puppy problem
Hi,
I understand that all puppies moan and shriek the first night they are brought home. It goes on forever day and night. I had dogs before. It lasted for about an hour and then stopped permanently. This one never stopped. The second night I brought her crate into the bed room and this temporarily helped. I put her back in the porch with her breakfast and she resumed howling, etc. One neighbour heard her from his downstairs apt and complained. She cannot stand to be away fom me one second. How can I solve this problem? By the waythis new puppy is eight weeks old. Roger |

I understand that all puppies moan and shriek the first night they are brought home. It goes on forever day and night. I've raised a few dogs, and the only one to make noise at night was my first dog. This was after following poor advice that the dog was not allowed to be in the bedroom because of dominance concerns. Of course, this is hogwash. When I moved her into the bedroom at night (didn't know about crates then), she was fine. Her sleeping in your room is a good bonding time, plus it helps in house training. I had dogs before. It lasted for about an hour and then stopped permanently. Every dog is different, but after the first time, I didn't bother experimenting with the others. It worked out fine. My wife and I liked the dog sleeping in the bedroom - once warning us to an intruder in the yard. I wouldn't have heard that growl if she had been secluded somewhere else. This one never stopped. The second night I brought her crate into the bedroom and this temporarily helped. I put her back in the porch with her breakfast and she resumed howling, etc. She's used to being with her mother and siblings and she doesn't understand the dislocation. As dogman says, give her time. Personally, I'd let her be in the bedroom, but I can understand how this wouldn't work in situations with more dogs than I've had. One neighbour heard her from his downstairs apt and complained. As I would. She cannot stand to be away fom me one second. That's a good thing, depending upon how you deal with that. Bonding is good, extreme dependence is not so good. How can I solve this problem? Keep her crated in your bedroom until you trust her uncrated in your bedroom. After a while, add some freedom in whatever stages you consider appropriate. Me? I crate in my bedroom for a night or two, then give freedom of the bedroom at night. I'm a light sleeper, so I know when the dog needs to pee. By the waythis new puppy is eight weeks old. Roger You've had dogs before, Roger - how about a puppy? Not meaning to come off critical, but every dog is different and puppies are even more different. -- --Matt. |

Seems to me he was looking for one way back when, asking all kinds of basic care-type questions. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling we're being trolled. If he isn't one, he doesn't say how long this puppy has been screaming, but I get the feeling it's been many days, or longer. I think more information, and visit to the vet, might be in order. Why would a puppy, even too young to taken from it's mother, scream all the time if it's being cared for properly? |

If he isn't one, he doesn't say how long this puppy has been screaming, but I get the feeling it's been many days, or longer. I think more information, and visit to the vet, might be in order.

Puppies can be shrill when left alone at night. -- --Matt. |

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling we're being trolled. He asked for food recommendations, received a couple of replies, and then posted again saying something along the lines of "I'm still waiting for food recommendations". I don't think he's a troll, but it doesn't look like he wants to do his own homework, which may be worse. If he isn't one, he doesn't say how long this puppy has been screaming, but I get the feeling it's been many days, or longer. I think more information, and visit to the vet, might be in order. Why would a puppy, even too young to taken from it's mother, scream all the time if it's being cared for properly? Well, I can see how a young pup would scream if it was isolated in a room with no people or other dogs. Puppies are, after all, babies, which this pup's owner should keep in mind. |

Tibetan terrier puppy problem
I had this TT puppy three days as of today. Because it is a difficult breed to find a breeder, I was able to obtain one only recenty and within a 2 hour drive of home. I did not want to get a puppy during the winter months and seized the opportunity with this breeder after they recontacted me 15 months later and asked me if I was still interested. I decided against my other considerations as I wanted a low energy dog and primarily one suited for an appartment. I do not understand what you mean about troll. If any of you dislike my previous postings, do not bother to read them. Roger |
