MoChara 1,632 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ok well i got a new dog just over a week ago. My own dog mochara used to sleep inside, but decided to put him in with new dog to sleep in the garage attached to my house, put beds and a big futon cushion out. First night the new dog (zuke) was ok but woke at 5am barking and whining, the next night it was 2am, now it seems to be 6am since then, but weirdly enough mochara who was used to sleeping inside is as quiet as a mouse. Does anyone know what i can do to stop this, he`s a good dog like and am not getting rid of him its just this waking up thats doing my head in.... i need my sleep Tried ignoring him, shouting at him just about everything, id say he`s settled in so its not that. Need help asap im not good without sleep . Thanks Nicole Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbotyke 62 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 dont go to the dog every time it makes a noise but if it just goes on and on throw a jug of water on it then go back to bed that should sort him out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 He's a puppy, its what puppies do! If he's getting up at 6, i personally would let him outside, praise him for toileting and then leave him out there with the other dog and a couple of meaty bones . . . . thats if the older dog is trustworthy enough to discipline the pup with warnings but not aggression. Shouting at him will not have any benefit at all . . . puppies need hard work and time and attention in the early stages, its part of the pleasure for me of having a puppy!

Richie10 345 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I don't think the water treatment or ignoring always works. We use a spray collar, even that doesn't always stop him. As Hannah says, they are puppies and will grow out of it, but you have to make sure that it is not appreciated. Edited June 1, 2010 by Richie10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Maybe i am alone in thinking that this is very basic puppy training here? Water treatment, spray collars etc etc . . are IMO a very unnecessary treatment for a new, young puppy . . . adolescent or strong willed older pups then maybe, or behaviour correction in older vocal dogs. A young puppy needs a full belly, an empty bladder, and something to either chew, or play with . . . it should then relax into a routine and get over the crying stage on its own. 6am is a perfectly normal time to get up and see to the puppies needs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbotyke 62 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 i also agree with hannah aswell he might be wanting to go out for a piss but the jug of water thing as worked for me but saying that my pup is in a kennel so there is no need for him to whinge and bark unless hes playing or theres a fox on the garden atb sorting it anyways jenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richie10 345 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 My pup is 11 months old, so not exactly just fallen off the mothers teat. This noise is adolescent behaviour and needs to be corrected, just like adolescent kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he is whinining to get out at 6am like hannah says thats a perfectly acceptable time to get up and let him out. Edited June 1, 2010 by scothunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoChara 1,632 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 i do let him out, when it was earlier like 2am i let him out but as soon as he was back in again he wouldnt sleep just started again, same now but i dont put him back in anymore i just stay up. The person i got him off said he never done anything like that before and they had him since a 6 weeks, thats why i was thinking maybe he is still settling in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt know ive always had my dogs from 6weeks old and trained them properly and within a few weeks there house broken.but i imagine throwing water over them isnt the way to go.

turbotyke 62 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 when i say throw water over them it dont mean wet them through i mean just throw a little bit of water and say in a deep voice shut up it does work in some cases not all but its worth a try the water just reinforces what you are saying atb jenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites

House breaking them is different to keeping them in a kennel. They have to deal with separation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
