FFs who would sleep in the kitchen or hallway for a pup.

[WILF 47,062]

Plenty of folk actually.....I know a good few lads that will spend the night up with pups or injured and sick dogs.

[South hams hunter 8,922]

Injured or sick dog I would but because the pup feels lonely?

[WILF 47,062]

Depends how stressed it seems to be getting really, some get themselves in a right state.....theirs a time for comfort and a time for the water bucket, if your decent enough round animals you will have a good idea when the times right for what

 

If a pup frets too much it will start to do weight and loose condition

Tbh not a problem I had, bought the pup home. Put her in crate, went sleep and not had a problem with her even when she was put in kennel

[Casso 1,261]

once the pup is warm and safe he's fine, anything else is just causing more of a problem a clingy pup is a destructive one when left on its own,

[South hams hunter 8,922]

There must be other ways apart from sleeping with the pup, this just wouldn't be viable for everyone

Its easy to take the pee out of skycats response if you havent had this issue, but the reality is if you have then its very good advice. I have had grown up all my life with dogs and never had a pup whine at night really bad until my last but one. Tried the usual ignore it, water, radio, clock etc a week later no progress and very little sleep, i whacked the roll mat outside the pantry where the pup was housed after fitting a dog gate and the dog slept all night (and so did i) gradually moved the roll mat further away over next couple of nights and had no further problems 1 week later pup sorted back in my bed and no seperation issues. Yes it may seem soft and i did feel a bit of a prick doing it, but it sorted the problem and settled the pup. Its easy to mock when you havent had a real screamer. I shoud say i got rid of the crate as the pup was clearly associating it with being left alone, all the best with the pup. Whatever you do i would say do it quick as has already stated, as the longer it goes on the more likely the pup is to habitually whine, cheers Matt

skycats advice will work, have done it myself, just put the crate beside your bed, give it your hand and have a yarn with pup anytime it crys, within a couple of days move the crate to its permanant position, job done. you'll have more of a bond with the pup than shouting and throwing water over it.

Oh ive know doubt it would work but i wont be pandering to a pups every need. It should be in the kennel anyway!! I'll just add i wasnt taking the piss out of Skycat i know she is a very knowledgable woman......i bit gentle ribbing never hurt anyone....

[cocker 2,654]

i like the gentle approach with pups, although i always keep them kennelled outside, never in the house.

a big part of the problem in your case, is the type of breeding your pup is, from my own experience and friends experience saluki whippet greyhound types are more often than not,noisy whining sorts when not getting the owners attention, your pup will settle in eventually but it might take 3 years.

Fair play to you Matt1979, you had a problem made a plan and it worked there's nothing soft about that and what's a few nights out the bed in comparrison to what return you'll get from working dog ownership.

 

If it worked for you then you've obviously done the right thing

[kenny14 656]

Probably most of the advice will work to some degree (with the odd, hopefully obvious exception!). But IMO pandering too much to a Pup can just be making a rod for your own back.

I agree a Dog should be in a kennel, and so long as it's warm and dry it'll be fine. Bad behaviour, whining included, shouldn't be rewarded.
