Anthony Simmons 22 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The dogs most probably never been on its own before, try putting a soft toy and one of your dirty t-shirt in his bed and as others say tire it out feed it then bed, hopefully he'll settle 1 Quote Link to post

Anthony Simmons 22 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 put your t-shirt you've worn today or something else that smells of you in his bed it's one of the first things I do when I've got a new pup, helps with bonding and they'll always end up curled up on it, also give him time to settle in I'd expect whining for a couple of days from a new pup even a 12 month old, they're big changes new sights, smells and sounds his head will be up his arse, if you exercise him more feed him more, you'll soon find a healthy balance when you're bonded and intune with the dogs needs 2 Quote Link to post

If you are banging food in him then don't worry about giving him too much exercise. It will just help to chill him out a bit and keep him calmer. 1 Quote Link to post
bird 9,645 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 prob why he was for sale , because he winges and at 12 months old , it should have stopped really.give it couple weeks, and do as they said on here . I am always wary of any young dog for sale, sometimes you drop on a good'un , but a lot of times you don't . 2 Quote Link to post
