Howling pup

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

My 7 mth old terrier was kenneled with his litter sister but in my kennels he is alone and howls the place down,he is warm and its draught proof.ive had the dog two wks and have just left him to howl loke you do a new dog, but he was howling for 3 hrs non stop from 2am.my naughbours rightly so will report me.besides sticking the dog in with a bitch(that I dont have), is there anything I could try.i dont want to get rid of the pup as he is well mannered besides howling and sobbing in kennels.

if i have pups what start to howl i set up a water hose soon as they start to howl i turn it on from the house they dont like it soon as they stop turn it off they get the picture pretty quickly and it saves you from giving them a leathering hope this helps

It would seem he is lonely.

 

Can you not keep him in the house ?

 

over the years i have tried the following a nice teddy bear that he can snuggle into and cover both over with a blanket, i know there will be those that say its daft but it has worked with my pups. Also if you have a blanket with the smell of the mother.

 

before settling down in the evening a good long walk and a small feed.

 

Final my pup that i have kept Buster was like that but he has grown out of it now he has found his way in life with us.

 

All the best and hope you find a kind solution.

try putting a ticking clock in with it if it hears something similiar to its litter mate/mothers heart beat it might quiet it or a radio down low so it thinks someones keeping it company a shock collars not the best thing to use on a pup as its still a baby at 7 months give it a kids teddy to keep it company hope this helps

A clock or radio is a good idea,also has it got anything to beat the boredom in a kennel,pups tend to busy themselves with each other,sometimes a few daft chewing toys helps.

hose pipe mate soon as he starts howling give him a blast with hose pipe he will soon shut up

I must agree with the water treatment, i have had the same problem in the past! and there is nothing worse than a noisy dog for you and your naughbours, you have to stamp it out asap before it becomes the normal for the dog. It might take you a few days now but as soon as he starts give him a bucket..

the hose always worked for me

I have had and still have the same thing here. With mine its about company as he was lonely I put him in with another dog and this sorted the problem, however the little shit being in the house with me during the day through a recent illness has got used to being in the house again so i am having to go through the process again. Here are some of the things I have tried /or am currently using although he is now kenneled with a second dog;

• Radio
  
• anti bark device (doesnt trigger off when the dog howls though only barking)
  
• hose pipe fixed and pointed at the front of the run
  
• Got a second hand electric shock collar, it one of the good ones so now when he starts i can nuke him from inside the house
  

Good luck, it can be a knightmare with howling and neigbours as they can be fine when they think your in the house but then go off it when you leave. I have the local parish council sharpening their pitch forkes over here because of the occasional whine/howl

An empty tin with marbles in, tied with string down to your house, each time the pup howls rattle the tin. Shock collars & blasting it with cold water could break his spirit & make him even more nervy. We're not even allowed to do that to the Tali-Ban, ha

It's coz its bored and docent wanna be away from you put it in with another dog don't wet it that's tight As f**k it's freezing out there will end up with wet bedding

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

The anti bark collars worked for a mate but i think the full on electric collar is a bit much for a 7 month old pup .They do one that sprays lemon in the dogs face when it barks .Water is a sure way to stop it but you have to be firm and try not to soak the bedding .

b*****d hides in his bedding box, so I cant get him with water.he shuts up during the day if you shout, but at 2 am I make more noise then the dog.
