german shepherd mix puppies washington

Sprout had a significant temperature drop at least 1 degree at pm, this means the first stage of labour was beginning. We quickly arranged with my vet clinic to bring her in and do surgery before most of the staff went home for the day. I work with a fantastic and experienced clinic that has reproductive specialists on staff and am lucky to be good friends with one of the Techs who is also a breeder. Week 1 The first week of life is the most fragile. Puppies are blind, deaf, and unable to regulate their body temperature. At days of age tails are docked and dewclaws are removed surgically by my veterinarian. Puppies are weighed 2x a day to ensure they are thriving. If a puppy loses weight or shows other signs of problems, they will be supplemented with a milk replacement formula via a baby bottle or tube fed if they are too weak to nurse. We also handle puppies a lot as a form of early neurological stimulation. Nails are trimmed for the first time. Week 2 Puppies are born with no pigmentation and Tricolours are almost black and white at birth. Pigment begins to show in spots on their noses and mouths and fills in over the next month or so. Tris, particularly RHTs start to show more tan on their cheeks. Weights are being checked and recorded 2x a day still. Eyes and ears start to develop around days old and will crack open when they are ready. Nails are trimmed again. Because nothing is ever easy when raising a litter. Westley aspirated some milk when he was nursing. Over a couple days he dropped weight and was feeling weak and listless when picked up. He was rushed to the vet where he was checked out and I was calmed down - one tends to get over zealous and overly emotional after losing far too many puppies. Thankfully he bounced back and is doing well. One of my favourite stages of puppyhood. Once they can see and hear they start to move around more and start to explore their surroundings and interact with each other and me! There is a lot of stumbling, falling over, splatting, and of course my favourite - barking for the first time and scaring themselves. The first time food is introduced I feed each puppy individually with a spoon until they seem to understand how to lick and not suck. Nails are trimmed again and they are given a dewormer for the first time. Week 4 New Digs! Puppies are moved out of their whelping box into a larger pen with room for exploration and play, and well… poop. Puppies can now regulate their own body temperature, and mom is cleaning up after them less. Things start to get messy now. We try to loosely follow the rules of seven for socialising puppies. By 7 weeks of age, they should have eaten or drank out of a variety of dishes ceramic, metal, plate, bucket etc , should have walked on a variety of surfaces carpet, hardwood, lino, grass uh. .You get the idea. The pups are let out to explore my house at their own pace. Mom is still nursing occasionally and sleeping with the pups at night. In this case their dad Wicket and aunt Leia. Their Great Gpa Heath goes not like puppies so he will not be allowed near them unless he is on a leash. Regardless, both Wicket and Leia love the babies and are helping mom teach them how to play and interact with other dogs. Puppies got to go outside in the snow a couple of times in week 5. They did discover that snow is fun to eat! They like to find places to sleep like under the couch, behind the bookcase etc. I go through amazing amounts of paper towels, cleaner, and rolls of newsprint for their pen. Their name morphs from puppies to poopies at this age. They're introduced to the puppy bathing station aka, the kitchen sink as inevitably someone steps in or sleeps in something they shouldn't. Week 7 Temperament tests: While we have a pretty good idea what the personalities of the puppies are at this point, we will often do a more formal temperament test. The one we use is based on the testing developed by W Volhard. It measures basics such as how social a puppy is, how they react to new situations, to dominance etc. The testing is very basic and only gives a general idea of the pups' disposition and how it might benefit from certain things as they grow. It helps us determine what type of home to look for for that particular puppy. A confident and smart puppy should likely go to an experienced home who will know how to direct the pup and provide proper training and guidance. A puppy that is leery of new situations will need a home that is willing to do proper socialisation and training to boost their confidence. A reputable breeder is matching the puppy to your lifestyle, not placing based on sex or colour at birth or a couple weeks of age. Every breed has a standard that calls for specific structure that ensures the breed is capable of easily performing the task s they were bred for. In the case of the PWC, we are looking for a long, low silhouette, with sufficient shoulder and rear angulation to be able to move efficiently for hours on end. We want them to LOOK like a corgi and not a basset hound, so head style is important as well as the other things that make structural soundness. A dog with lots of angulation in their front and a straight rear is going to be unbalanced and mean they could be prone to increased risk of injuries. In essence this is why a dog from a show breeder is often more sound than one from a BYB or pet breeder. We care about these things! When a pup is about 8 weeks old, their growth patterns take them close to what you will see as an adult dog. We also find our lines are more obvious at this point a few weeks later at 10 weeks. Knowing how now adult dogs have grown from their puppy photos allows us to compare and look for virtues or faults we may specifically want to avoid. Week 9 First Vet visit: At about weeks we take our litters to our vet for an overall health assessment. Their hearts, lungs, patellas, eyes, ears etc. First vaccinations are administered and microchips are inserted. Microchips will be registered both in my name and their new owners with the microchip company and with the Canadian Kennel Club once the registration process is underway. Week 11 Decision time: Very patient puppy people have been waiting for weeks and weeks for me to make some decisions. It was a lovely litter which meant splitting hairs between which pups would stay as show potential and those that would go to companion homes. I was extremely fortunate to have two families who both have dogs from previous litters, both have children of my heart dog - Jo. I chose Westley now called Odin and Inigo now named Vaughan to go to these families. The babies have all shed their puppy names, and will be properly registered with their formal names soon. We choose to register each litter with a letter of the alphabet to help track siblings over the years. The tally so far:. You have a job…the anxiety kicks in…leaving him home alone…OMG!!! Well, yes, this is a common question. And, you would be correct about the sadness that you will incur when leaving that little furbaby at home. Crate training Most people will react to crate training in a very negative way. It does seem mean or inhumane or whatever. I will walk you through this harrowing experience and assist you out of your scary thoughts of abandonment and fear. Yes, they have been domesticated, but there are obvious behaviors that have not bred out of any dog. One of them is their instinct to live in dens for protection and survival. With that being said, crates provide exactly that function, a place to rest without being in fear. They will need wake you up in the middle of the night and whimper. They will need to pee in the middle of the night. So, getting them to sleep in their crate in your room, where they can see you, will be a god send. For example, Hambone would wimper. I would wake up and take him outside. Once he was finished, on the leash, I brought him right back in, placed him in his crate, and he went back to sleep. Sounds obvious, right? Yes, but most people will allow them to play and sniff around. Guess what? Your days start to begin at that early morning pee, which now cuts into your sleep time. It is inevitable that they will wake you up, but you must have good sleep to have the energy for your puppy. At first, this is kind of novel, but after 2 weeks of this, it gets kind of old. I simply told him about crate training, and it actually worked. Three years later, he still brings it up to me how it all worked out. Remember, puppies do not have muscle control over their bladders until about 4 months or longer. This is a really long time of chasing pee and poop around your home and rugs, so believe me, crate training will make your life manageable and easier. Since the crate will be established as their home, they will also never go in their home. Therefore, they will start to learn how to hold it and go outside. Imagine bringing your bed and pillow everywhere. Believe it our not, crate training is a great way to avoid anxiety in new places. Number 5: Time outs are essential The last but not the least, time outs for discipline is essential. Not all Corgis are perfect, really! So, if you find your furbaby barking too much and no methods work, the crate is a great time out option. They will get it. In a few moments, they will be resting their cute mugs on their blanket and get the hint. Of course, there are many other reasons, but these are my top reasons for crate training. Remember, its instinctual for them to love and own their dens, so it is something that they will love. I will be going over the steps in the next post, so stay tuned. Check out the Three Corgis swag in the shop. On YouTube www. Follow us on Twitter until the account gets suspended. Yes, everyone loves a Corgis fluffy butt, big ears and short legs but they are not the right breed for everyone. Getting to know the Pembroke Welsh Corgi is an important to make sure that this dog fits your lifestyle. Even though they vary personality wise, here are some common characteristics of the breed that you should be aware of when considering this breed. They are very smart - almost too smart Corgis need a job!!! Because they were once used to herd livestock, they are independent thinkers that require a lot of mental stimulation. When bored they may become destructive. Plan of spending time every day enriching their lives with playtime, games and training both mental and physical. A variety of toys, chews and interactive toys can help. A monthly subscription box like Bark Box can add a variety of new toys, chews and treats. Our suggested products for Corgis page lists some interactive toys as well. They are a herding breed Corgis were originally bred to herd livestock and some of these herding instincts are still present in the breed today. They may try to herd small children, other animals or even their adult owners and may nip at your heels or grab ahold of your pants leg. As a breed, these are very active, high-energy dogs that need exercise daily. They love to go so if you are an active person this may fit your lifestyle. Some bloodlines have less energy and that is one reason that we temperament test our puppies. People often ask if they make a good family pet. The answer depends upon how much training you do with your Corgi. They like many other breeds need training to know what behavior is acceptable and how to deal with children. These dogs are not natural baby sitters that will allow children to tug at their hair, crawl all over them or roughly pet them. Like with herding livestock, the faster a child or other animal runs when playing with them the rougher they will play however when properly trained they can make great family pets. Some love to bark Corgis love their owners and will let them know when there is something new or out of place by barking. They will also bark if they become bored, want to play or are looking for attention. It is important for them to always have appropriate toys and chews to curb boredom. A good training program can help stop barking behaviors too. They shed a lot Corgis shed like any double-coated breed. Daily brushing, feeding a high-quality dog food, and adding fish oil to their diet will help with shedding but be aware that it will still happen. Expect a major coat molting in the fall and spring. They will want to be with you everywhere you go just in case you need their help. They are very loyal to their owners and will defend the ones they love. They are hot natured Corgis are very hot natured due to their double coat. Because they are hot natured, most Corgis are not cuddly lap dogs. Most prefer to lay beside you or by your feet not in your lap for long periods of time. Dressing them up in doggy clothing only makes the situation worse and they may overheat. They are sassy and bossy little dogs that will stand up to big dogs. If not trained, they can become growlers and be snappy. It is very important to continue desensitizing, socialization and training with puppies once you take them home from a breeder. Once again training is the key. Genetic and OFA testing is still important but environmental factors such as feeding a high quality dog food, not allowing these dogs to jump from tall heights, weight control and appropriate exercise all play an important role in preventing hip and back issues. So what can owners do to prevent these problems? Daily exercise helps strengthen and tone their muscles. Monitoring weight can prevent dogs from becoming overweight. Corgis are very food motivated so care should be taken to monitor their weight. Not allowing them to jump off of beds, couches and other furniture which will apply pressure to their backs. Choosing puppies from parents who do not have a history of back and hip issues and have undergone genetic testing. Choose a breeder that makes sure that babies are raised on a surface that provides traction thus preventing slipping, feeds a high quality puppy food and provides age appropriate exercise for puppies. They love to chew Corgis love to chew and will need lots of quality chews. Corgis need something to chew on while teething and even as adults. These dogs will often find objects such as shoes or furniture to chew on when their owners fail to provide appropriate chew items. Subscription boxes like Bark Box can help by providing new toys and chews. They are very food oriented Corgis love food and will guard it therefore resource guarding is something that you will need to work on. Some can be picky eaters but most are always looking for a snack. You will need to work with your veterinarian to ensure that your dog is fit and not overweight. Feeding a high quality food is important to prevent digestive issues and lessen the chance of hip and back issues. They will require training You must train your puppy to create a great dog. They are very smart and easy to train. We recommend training either through traditional puppy and obedience classes or through an online puppy school. They have big personalities Yes, they can be stubborn, have an attitude and completely ignore you at times but these little dogs have big personalities and can be extremely funny. They will make you laugh and their smiling faces will lift your spirits. Corgis can be incredible dogs who will become an important part of your family. Warning — they are addictive! Our Corgis.

Free of Vinyl, Latex and phthalates Stuff exterior grooves with treats or food We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. In my experience, dogs like to play with them more. Maybe it is just the smell preference of the particular dog. Be careful not to get the treat wet as it will come away from the wheeler too quickly. If you are wetting the treat to get it into the toy easier, you will need to let it dry for a few hours first. If your dog drools a lot, then the toy will get a little dirty, given how much chewing time there will be a good thing. Luckily it is dishwasher safe. I rarely wash dog toys in ultra-hot settings in the dishwasher because I am worried about plastic degradation. Consider a regular cycle, faster cycle, or even cold water cycle. With any toy, be careful of plastic parts and only give for supervised play. Nylabone Ring My favorite Ring toy is the Kong ring — but if your Bernedoodle puppy is mad for Nylabone, then try out their Ring alternative. Dentally I prefer the more straightforward chewing ring for puppies. There are more complex shaped Nylabone rings out there. Still, I worry they might cause damage is chewed too aggressively by an over-excited Bernedoodle puppy. Keep it simple, sometimes.

Tug toys do not last forever, and should not be confused with chew toys. If a tug toy starts to fray and fibers come away — it goes in the bin.

The ball is not a winner for me — but the rope tug toys are great. This brain-stimulating slow feeder is a perfect Bernedoodle puppy toy.

See more dog videos on our YouTube channel. There are a bunch of fun videos! Considerations when picking toys for Bernedoodle puppies When picking toys for a Bernedoodle of any age, the priority must always be safety. No toy lasts forever, but durable toys are less likely to break down. Soft toys and rope tug toys are for supervised use only. Fibers WILL break away. Even super tough chew toys like the Nylabone will eventually deteriorate. Eating plastic is never a good thing, even if most dogs pass any small accidentally consumed with no hassle. Prevention is the best cure, and removing any toy showing signs of deterioration is essential. Good hygiene is important — and dog toys stored correctly will still occasionally need to be cleaned. Be wary of heavy-duty repeat cleaning and using powerful cleaning agents as the risks are two. Any leftover cleaning chemicals might make your dog feel or actually be ill Repeat use of corrosive cleaning agents might make toys more likely to break or shed plastic. Gently clean toys only as required and follow instructions. The best toys will clearly state whether they are dishwasher safe or not which is a huge benefit when they are. Are Bernedoodles good with cats? The answer is YES but only if you follow some steps to ensure cat and puppy safety. The quality of the toy AND the way your individual Bernedoodle interacts with you are two things to consider. AVOID toys that have small plastic parts or can be broken down into small chunks. Avoid stuffed toys unless your Bernedoodle puppy is playing with them while you directly supervise. This can include things around the house that are not intended to be toys e. If a dog eats stuffing from inside a toy or pillow, they can get seriously ill. Giving soft toys unsupervised is not worth the risk! They are large dogs with strong chewing ability Even though toys can be broken by a determined Bernedoodle puppy Any plastic toy that sheds bits can be ingested. A Bernedoodle puppy is not designed to process plastic if eaten. Blockages have been seen in puppies that have eaten parts of a broken down chew toy Individual Bernedoodle puppy temperament needs to be considered also Some Bernedoodles will play safely and happily with soft toys Other Bernedoodles will use their sharp puppy teeth and tear holes into soft toys If your dog wild story soft toys it can be best to avoid them altogether At the very least consider soft toys ONLY for supervised play We love writing about the tricolour marvel that is the Bernedoodle.

Bernedoodle Dog Toy Buying Guide When it comes to buying a dog toy for your Bernedoodle pet, you should consider factors such as types, materials used, and the entire uses of the toy. Those with teething features For puppies, toys are mostly bought to help them train manners as well as for their teething needs. On the other hand, toys with teething ingredients do come with health supplements that reduce toothaches and help them grow stronger. Healthy weight management toys The weight of your dog is also an essential factor. Training is meant to help the dog live healthy and happy. When you think about the health side of your dog, it is wise to buy a toy that comes with weight management features to keep dog health. Additionally, you can decide to buy toys with treat dispensers and puzzles to train your dogs to reduce weight during playing. This is a friendly IQ training, as well as maintaining the right body mass of your pet. Crate trainers Some toys are made to help your dog in training how to use their crate. Materials Considering the material used is also vital. Most toys are made of chewing-resistant materials, while others come with hard materials to train your dog in building healthy teeth. The last thing you want is to hurt your dog. Uses Always buy dog toys that are used to train your dog in using crates or train discipline. Those who are in the market for chewing toys need to consider the stage of development of the dog in terms of the teeth. Recommended Reading:.

Life Span Did You Know? The Boxer is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. It has been recognized by the AKC since .Although the Boxer dog breed originated in Germany, their ancient ancestry can be traced back to the Assyrian empire war dogs of BC. The modern Boxer breed we know and love today was originally developed in Germany in the late s. English-bred Bulldogs and the Bullenbesiier were crossed to create an energetic and agile hunting dog to chase wild game. The Boxer is a popular family companion and a versatile working dog. As a member of the Working Group, Boxers can be found competing in dog sports like agility, obedience, and herding. They also make great service and assistance dogs, as well as therapy dogs, and can be found working as search and rescue dogs, drug detection dogs, police dogs, and military dogs. The Boxer is a muscular and energetic dog that tends to have a happy, friendly disposition. They bond closely with their families and tend to get along well with children and other dogs. They can even do well with other pets despite their high prey drive if they are socialized and trained with them. As long as they are well-socialized, Boxers are generally upbeat, playful, and friendly. Although they have a natural instinct to protect their family from unwanted visitors, they do tend to warm up once introduced and are happy to make a new friend. They can be prone to barking a lot if you do not work on socialization and training your dog to stop barking early on. Boxers can be highly adaptable dogs. Although they have a lot of energy and are better suited to homes with yards where they can run, they can adapt to apartment living as long as they get the daily exercise, attention, and mental stimulation they need. As with any non-arctic dog breed, they are sensitive to very cold temperatures. Boxers are also a brachycephalic breed, which means they are even more sensitive to heat than other dogs. A Boxer is also one of the most affectionate dog breeds. Because they bond so closely with their families and get bored easily, they should not be left alone for long periods of time. Potential health conditions to be aware of in a Boxer include hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, thyroid issues , and heart conditions like aortic stenosis and cardiomyopathy. Good breeding practices make a big difference and reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues to puppies.

Boxers are intelligent dogs that are eager to please their owners. Despite their energetic personality, they are one of the best dog breeds for first-time owners and are highly trainable dogs. They tend to excel at almost any task put before them! Because of their open, friendly nature and high energy, they have a tendency to jump up at people in excitement and playfulness. Since they grow into powerful dogs, you will want to make sure you train your dog not to jump up. Boxers have smooth and short coats that will shed a little year-round and require minimal grooming. A brush-down once or twice a week and the occasional bath as needed will keep their short coat healthy and looking great. Nail trims once or twice a month are usually enough to keep nails from growing too long. Checking ears weekly and carefully cleaning as needed can help prevent ear infections. Checking and wiping their facial wrinkles weekly or a few times a week if your dog is prone to getting into things can help keep their wrinkles clean and free of irritation. Dental diseases, like gum disease, are the most common health issues in older dogs because dental care is often overlooked; and, it can lead to other serious health issues. Brushing daily, plus cleanings at the vet when needed, is ideal. The Boxer is a high-energy dog breed that needs plenty of daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. Due to their high prey drive and urge to chase, they should only be let off-leash in secure areas.

Crying is one particular sound that Frenchies tend to make a lot. But because most dog owners — and especially first-time French Bulldog owners — expect a dog to bark or even howl, they often are understandably confused about the meaning of canine crying.

In the video, the owner states that the Frenchie is crying out of boredom. But you will notice there are actually a number of different sounds — some are more like a traditional canine whine while others almost make the pup sound like a bird!

We're about to find out now. Is French Bulldogs Crying Normal? In this French Bulldog owner forum , you can see post after post from Frenchie owners talking about French bulldog crying. If you have been feeling frustrated by this behavior in your own dog, you can easily see from the posts on this forum that this is normal — you are not alone. On the one hand, it can be good to know this is a legitimate and basically "normal" behavior that many Frenchies exhibits. On the other hand, it can be wearing on your nerves to be followed around by a crying dog all day and all night. So why do French Bulldogs cry so much? Let's take a look at what several French Bulldog breeders have to say on this topic. French Bulldog puppy crying is normal As one French Bulldog breeder explains, uring the first week or two after your Frenchie comes to you as a puppy, you can expect a good amount of crying and whining. Your dog is adjusting to all kinds of changes at a breakneck pace. From learning to sleep without littermates and mom to teething to learning the ropes of basic obedience commands, your puppy is going to feel overwhelmed and perhaps anxious. Crying is a natural part of this process. French Bulldog adult crying is normal Another French Bulldog breeder warns prospective owners that Frenchies are a "needy" breed. They are also a noisy breed. French Bulldogs don't just cry and whine. They also snore. They can fart regularly. And some French Bulldogs have been known to scream. With this rather wide and varied menu of sounds in a French Bulldog's regular communication repertoire, the fact that your Frenchie isn't barking a lot may simply go unnoticed. So now you understand that, on some level, French Bulldogs have a tendency to cry. This is a known trait of this breed. But clearly, since the French Bulldog is still the fourth most popular American Kennel Club AKC registered purebred companion canine in America out of nearly registered dog breeds , owners somehow find a way to deal with this sometimes troublesome behavior. Understanding why Frenchies often cry so much is a big step towards achieving this goal. After all, the sooner you figure out the mystery, the faster you can work towards stopping it. Here are the main reasons breeders, owners, and canine veterinarians cite that can cause a French Bulldog to start crying: 1. Your French Bulldog is lonely French bulldogs are a created breed, bred down from larger working fighting bulldogs to their current toy breed size. Your French Bulldog has a long history of accompanying people around town both day and night, lounging in coffeeshops and bellying up to the bar in dancehalls and saloons. So a French Bulldog home alone is going to be a lonely Frenchie indeed. If your idea of a great companion isn't a dog that wants to be with you and ideally on you at all times, you may have an adjustment period to living life with a Frenchie. Your French Bulldog is anxious Just like many dog breeds might bark out of anxiety or nervousness or fear, your French Bulldog is equally likely to cry or whine when they feel unsettled. You can test this theory by noticing what your French Bulldog does when a thunderstorm rolls in or the summer fireworks start popping. But it doesn't take a big event to create anxiety in your sensitive Frenchie, either. Just sensing that you may be going out without your dog may trigger anxious crying. Your French Bulldog is cold Frenchies are small dogs. Most weigh less than 20 pounds fully grown. They also have very short, fine coats. This makes for a neat and refined appearance. But it can also cause your dog to get cold in winter and when the air conditioning is blasting in summer. For some dog breeds, the French Bulldog included, the purchase of canine clothing is not just for the sake of cuteness. It can also be a good way to help your pup stay warm year-round. This can be especially important for Frenchies, which are known to be an indoor breed that can live perfectly happy inside even in small, confined spaces. Your French Bulldog isn't feeling good Just like many babies cry when they aren't feeling well, your Frenchie is quite likely to express feelings of dis-ease or un-well by crying. Your French Bulldog wants your attention Sometimes French Bulldog owners inadvertently reinforce the very behavior they are trying to stop by running to see what's wrong when their Frenchie starts crying. You can bet your dog will learn quickly that crying equals your attention! Your French Bulldog is bored French Bulldogs are not the most energetic of dog breeds. Much of the reason for this is due to their short brachycephalic muzzle type, which makes breathing somewhat difficult. But French Bulldogs also aren't great at entertaining themselves. Their idea of entertainment is being with you, doing whatever you are doing. If you aren't around or aren't available, your Frenchie may start crying to let you know they are bored. Your French Bulldog is confused Frenchies are sensitive dogs and are incredibly attuned to their owners. They can pick up on the subtlest of human expressions and emotions and can also sense conflict. Like all dogs, French Bulldogs thrive on regularity and routine. Changes to your dog's daily schedule can provoke confusion about what is supposed to happen when. If your Frenchie is confused, you can expect some "acting out" via crying instead of the more typical barking. Here, if you can learn to hear crying like you would hear the barking, it may be easier to identify the issue and fix it. A few hours or days of French Bulldog crying is likely to be far less adorable. Is there anything you can do to stop this from happening? As a matter of fact, there is. Take your Frenchie to get a veterinary checkup As Little House Animal Hospital explains, the very first step to take is to just double-check that your dog is healthy. Take your Frenchie for a veterinary checkup so your vet can verify all is well health-wise. Give your dog more activity and structure Once health conditions are ruled out, you can take a closer look at behavioral issues that may cause crying. Since the French Bulldog is known for being a breed that cries rather than barks, you can expect some amount of this behavior no matter what you do. But you can reduce crying by making sure your dog has adequate socialization, playtime, exercise, and plenty of you-time. You can also eliminate any of your own behaviors that may be reinforcing the crying behavior so your dog learns crying means no attention from you. Do you have a crying French Bulldog at home?

As mentioned, French bulldogs are prone to exhibiting this behavior when they are becoming acclimated to their new home. This plays into the separation anxiety, but could also be their way of telling you that you two need to spend more time together. You might need to give them some dedicated play time and cuddles before you go to bed. This can help tire them out so they can sleep the night away in peace, but can also offer them a sense of comfort if they have to be home alone for some time due to people being at work or school. Chances are, your Frenchie is going to cry pretty often as a puppy. This is partially because they are still learning how to communicate. They are also still learning to understand what life is like without their mom and other puppies they were raised with. One of the hardest aspects of training your Frenchie out of crying at night is trying to avoid giving into them each time they cry. A strategy that can help is to take your Frenchie outside when they are crying a lot at night. This will teach them that their nighttime crying will only get them potty time, so they will learn to only cry when they have to go outside. You can still crate train them without closing the door if you find they calm down with it still open. This can include a soft bed, a couple of toys they seem to love, and even a comfort object such as one of your shirts. Having something with your scent in their crate offers them a sense of security, especially at night. Having their crate close by where you sleep can also help them feel safer in their crate. As your French bulldog gets older and acclimates to you and your home, you can consider moving their crate to another area of the home, or setting them up in a bed in your room or just outside of your room. You can choose to let them sleep with you, but there are a few reasons why that might not suit you. However, there are ways to mitigate how often your French Bulldog cries during the night above and beyond crate training them. These are quite needy dogs, preferring the company of humans over just about anything. This time should include being fed, a walk, some playing with toys or cuddling together, and a final bathroom break before they climb into bed. They might still cry occasionally, but it should subside over time. French bulldogs can be really tough to sleep with in your bed. They can make a lot of noise, take up a lot of space, and they tend to shed and drool. Final Thoughts Constantly worrying and asking yourself why does my French bulldog cry at night can be overwhelming. Establishing a nighttime routine for you and your French bulldog will help tremendously in helping them feel more comfortable at night. To be honest, it was heart-wrenching and tiring, but it is an essential part of them adapting to your home as well as their crate training. The bottom line is; French Bulldog puppies do cry when they are taken from their mother and siblings, and they will cry in the crate for some time. You need to weather the storm, accept the lack of sleep, and persevere with it. In this guide I am take you through the steps to cope with the whining and crying, whilst you get your new Frenchie puppy settled into his new home and crate training routine. But first, just a little bit about Frenchies and crying. Why do French Bulldogs cry? They will cry for attention, when they want feeding, or if they need to go to the toilet. It is also related to separation anxiety read more on this when left alone. It can sometimes look a red or brown color, seeping from their eyes. Eye allergies: An allergic reaction can also lead to watery discharge from their eyes, which can look like tears and crying. French Bulldog puppies are even bigger criers, particularly in the first 4 weeks you have them at their new home. Frenchie puppies will also cry when you first start them getting used to sleeping and staying in their crate. Do French Bulldogs cry tears? French Bulldogs do have tear ducts, but they work in a very different way to human ones. Rather than the tears running from their eyes, the actually drain back into the nasal cavity… which is why blocked tear ducts result in what look like tears. Do French Bulldogs Scream? Some Frenchies can make a whining and howling noise that does sound like a human scream, or even a baby screaming in some cases. When we bought our Frenchie home for the first time, he made a few screaming sounds on the first few nights. Not all of them will do this though as each dog will have their own tone of voice and mannerisms… I did find a Frenchie screaming on YouTube which is a great example. Do French bulldogs cry at night? French Bulldogs do cry at night when you first bring them home. Now let me share with you steps you can take to stop your French bulldog whining in their crate, no matter what their age. Firstly, why is your French bulldog puppy crying in his crate? There are a number of reasons, including: Your Frenchie is lonely: This is a classic crying scenario when dogs are used to being with their owner and are shut in a crate when you go out. Your Frenchie is scared: Older or rescue dogs can have negative connotations connected to the crate. Your Frenchie needs the toilet: Or it could be as simple as them needing to pee or possibly even vomit here are reasons why Frenchies can be sick. Please Note: French Bulldog puppies will cry in their crate for at least the first few days you have them. The steps below are best applied when the crying is problematic and longer term. Make the crate experience a positive and comfortable one To stop your French Bulldog puppy crying at night, make the crate as great an experience as you can. For example, you might want to place some interesting toys in there here are toys Frenchies love , make it cosy with blankets, and leave an appealing treat in there. At this stage in their life, puppies will start to teeth and hanker for anything chewable they can get their jaws around. Kong toys are great for this, and you can see which ones work really well in on this teething toys page. You should also try building up positive associations with the crate, and some puppy owners like to let theirs feed in there. Also place something that smells like you in there — it could be a cushion or a t-shirt with your scent on. But, by having the crate close to you during the puppy months, it does mean you will be alerted when they need a potty break. Use the right-sized crate When crate shopping, I always suggest going larger than you need because it can then be their crate and bed for life. Puppies need room to be able to move around, stand up, and turn to let them be comfortable and not feel caged. Make sure your Frenchie goes to the toilet first To really help minimize your French bulldog crying in his crate, make sure their bladder is as empty as possible before sleep time. However, with puppies, they will need the toilet constantly, and I remember this time with our Frenchie very well. Every hour I would take him out of the crate at night and take into our back-yard patio area. You can still expect some accidents though, which is why puppy pads are so essential. Again, you can buy puppy pads on Amazon — they are cheap when bought in bulk. Tire your Frenchie puppy out before crate time An over-excited puppy will not sleep and will cry more in his crate at night if he still has excess energy to burn. Frenchie puppies can tire really quickly, so it could just be a short walk out back or a game of tug of war. Older dogs will have more energy to burn, so give them a run out for 20 minutes before crate time. If you go to the crate every time he cries or whines, you are just reinforcing the behavior, and making him know you will always come and let him out. The difference between crying for attention and crying for the toilet But how do you know which cry is which? Over a week or so, your puppy should learn that crying gives him the toilet and nothing else. As frustrating as your French bulldog crying at night will be, never scold them. If your Frenchie is crying due to anxiety and fear, yelling will not help. Yes, he might stop crying in the short-term, but only because he is scared. The minute you do will put you back to square on. Conclusion Finally, if you cannot put a finger on why your French Bulldog is crying, and have ruled out the possibilities in this guide, please do consult with your vet. Frenchies are susceptible to a wide range of health problems listed all here and it could be a physical or behavioral issue. When a puppy has just moved, is in pain, or may have been injured, it is not uncommon for them to cry. It can be challenging as an owner because you may need help figuring out what you can do for them or how to make them feel better. If you have a puppy with special needs, sometimes they need a little different care. You always need to think about why your puppy is trying at night. There are many reasons and plenty of solutions. However, always note that if they are suddenly acting this way for no foreseeable reason, it is always best to seek out the help of a vet. When you are unsure of the cause of any behavior change, always make sure to see a vet. While puppies do cry at night, those with mobility issues or a disability may be more prone to crying at night. This is simply because they are struggling and need you. There are plenty of other potential reasons as to why. It could be as simple as they need to go potty and need your help. Maybe they are hungry or lonely. A common reason for nighttime whining is often hunger, which is not uncommon, even in the healthiest, most well-fed pups. However, if it is not hunger, the reasons can include pain, anxiety, itchiness, and even loneliness. Puppies will usually always have a period of separation anxiety when they settle into new homes, especially on their first night in a new home. This anxiety is usually amplified for a sick, injured, or disabled puppy. We are likely to worry about how long whining like this will last, but look at how you can calm them. Do you have any familiar toys or blankets? Can they sleep in the same room as you, so they know you are there? Consider what you can do to make them feel more comfortable and ensure they feel secure knowing you are there. However, you should always make sure that you do not fuss with them too much, as they could quickly learn that by crying at night, they signal for you to come, which would result in a lifetime of being woken up by cries and whines. Remember, you need to sleep well as well! The reasoning is not complex. If your pup has a disability or recently got injured, they may rely on you a lot and be very codependent. They may cry at night because they are afraid of being alone without you, even though they are not all that alone. Puppies will also usually cry if they need to go to the toilet. Remember that as you toilet train your pup, take into consideration meal times, and try to ensure you schedule their meals, so they do not need to go to the bathroom so much during the night. It will be better for you both to do this. Proper toilet training is also ideal. It can help with crate training and will make vet visits much easier on you if you can get their toilet training perfected and incorporate it with crate training. Any dog expert or dog owner will tell you never to leave your dog to cry at night. Letting them cry will enhance their anxiety and can lead to behavioral problems or even depression. If your dog is unwell or suffers from a disability, letting them cry at night will likely make them anxious or depressed. If you ignore it and do not respond to it appropriately, you could miss when something is wrong later on in their lives. Even if your walls are thick, you, your neighbors, and everyone else will hear it. Of course, if your dog is sick or unwell, you can even make them worse by letting them cry through the night. In some cases, puppies have whimpered through most of the night and can eventually get so stressed and scared that they end up having diarrhea. They can end up walking in it, it gets in their fur, then their mouths, and before you know it, they could be even more unwell. Distress from being left to cry in the night can cause your pup to get anxious at any form of separation, which is the opposite of progress. How to Stop Puppies Crying in a Crate? When you bring a puppy home, you may use a crate, but when you take them to a vet, you may require a crate, so crate training is essential and can be vital to their health and help to make them more comfortable in all situations. When you first bring your puppy home, you can keep it in its crate in your bedroom or that of a family member overnight. This is because dogs are clean animals and never like going to the toilet where they sleep. In their early weeks, they will often need to go to the toilet regularly during the day and the night. Some sick or disabled pups may need to go even more frequently, or need more help going. Being in their crate and near you or a family member can help your puppy know that you are near, and they will be less anxious and less likely to cry at night unless they need to use the toilet. Since they are in your bedroom, you will also be able to respond fast, so if they cry, you can help them to the toilet fast. The Reasons for Puppies Crying at Night If you only recently got your puppy, no matter any additional factors, they may cry at night for other reasons, including gaining a secure attachment with you. This is especially true in the first weeks. You can put them close to you at night, so they know you are there, and you know they are there. Only use a single light source at night so that they can see, but no ominous shadows are there. Some pups will find natural sounds, low-fi, or even classical music soothing, much like we do, and it can help them feel safe and sleep better. However, you should also ensure there are no sharp objects or corners near where they sleep. If they jump up from their sleep, the last thing you want is them hurting themselves in doing so. What We Think Any new pup will be a challenge. However, pups with mobility issues, disabilities, or illnesses can be more of a challenge. Make sure you learn how to best look after them, and speak to a veterinarian to help find out more. Raising a disabled pup can be rewarding as you can watch them conquer their world and restrictions!

One of the first signs of dementia is disturbances in their sleep, which make them restless and leads to crying at night. When Communicating Needs Aside from the obvious need to eat, drink, and do potty that Frenchies are known to communicate by crying, other issues such as extreme silence may bother them. The night crying may also be to communicate pain, the need for attention, or any uncomfortable feeling they get from the night-time environment. They are adapting to a new environment, and the crying may persist up to the fourth week before they can adjust. You can supply them with chew toys in their crates to keep them busy and distracted. Soft music can also help them cope with loneliness. If you suspect they are crying to communicate a need for food, warmth, or water, then you must provide for their obvious needs before you retire to bed. Often, the crying at night is just their way of crying for attention, or saying they want to join you in bed. However, you want to be careful when making that decision for two reasons.

Shed levels are individual to the dog, so while we hope that the majority of our dogs are low shedding, there are those who are moderate to heavy shedders.

Yesterday we left her home when we went on a walk and she never barked or whined and was fast asleep when we returned. She accepted her crate as if she had never known any other place to rest. She just crawls in there and rests when she is tired. And when she wakes up, she quietly plays until we take her out of the playpen. Her potty training is going well. A couple of accidents here and there, but most of the time we catch her before anything happens, and she always does her business right away when we put her on the grass patch we have on the patio.

Golden retrievers that are smaller than normal ones are referred to as Mini Golden Retrievers. Life Span Did You Know? This cross is meant to produce a smaller version of a Golden Retriever that retains the classic Golden look and their characteristic friendly and sweet temperament. Mini Golden Retrievers tend to maintain a temperament very similar to Golden Retrievers. They tend to have a sweet, open, and friendly nature. Mini Goldens get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets. These dogs tend to make great family pets and can also be found working as service dogs or therapy dogs. Due to their smaller size, the Miniature Golden Retriever is a highly adaptable dog breed. As long as they get enough exercise, they are happy in apartments as well as larger homes with yards. They also do well in just about any climate. As with most dog breeds, they are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Because these dogs are so people-oriented, they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time as they would much rather be an active member of the family. For Mini Golden Retrievers, these could include elbow dysplasia, heart issues, eye disease, and hip dysplasia. Asking the breeder about the genetic history of the parents and checking out available health clearances or tests can help allay potential health concerns.

You may have puppies that look identical to a Golden Retriever or you may have puppies with tightly curled or wavy coats from their Poodle or Spaniel parents. With the Poodle in the cross, there may be a chance of a low-shedding coat, but you will want to be prepared for a dog that will shed moderately year-round and that requires regular brushing and bathing with the occasional professional grooming session. Floppy ears tend to be more prone to ear infections, but regular checks and careful cleaning can help prevent them. Dental care for dogs is so important. But, it is often overlooked, which is why dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs.

A fully-grown Miniature Golden Retriever usually stands inches tall at the shoulder and weighs between pounds. A Mini Golden Retriever generally lives years.

Crate training will keep your pug protected from household hazards, help with house training, and give him a place to retreat when he's overly excited. An ideal crate size is 24 inches long x 18 inches wide x 21 inches high 61 cm x 46 cm x 53cm. Place a blanket on top of the crate so it feels like a cozy den to your pug. Leave the crate door open at all times during this part of crate training. This will allow your pug to explore the crate at his leisure, without fear of you closing the door behind him. For crate training to be effective, your pug must learn to be comfortable in the crate when its door is closed. Gradually, have your pug wait up to 10 minutes after a meal before you open the door. You may need to leave your pug crated for hours at a time during the day, and maybe overnight. Sit with him briefly, leave the room for few minutes, then return to the crate. Work up to leaving the room for 30 minutes. Reward him with a treat each time he responds to it correctly. Practice leaving the house when you crate him. Do not get your pug worked up when you leave home or return; this could build up a lot of anxiety and anticipation in your pug. A common concern with crate training is whether to respond to whining, especially with overnight crating. Just be prepared for the whining to get worse before it gets better. Pugs aim to please, but can get sidetracked by a short attention span. When your pug stays focused on your finger on your nose, immediately give him a treat. Lengthen the time he watches your finger before you reward him. When your pug learns the basic commands, he will have the proper foundation to behave well and learn even more commands. Basic commands include sit, stay, come, and heel. If his short attention span is making training difficult, consider enrolling him in a local dog obedience class. Use plenty of positive reinforcement verbal praise, treats, extra petting each time your pug correctly follows a command. The more excited and positive you are, the more your pug will try to please you and behave properly. Pugs love to chew. Teaching your pug to 'leave it' will help keep him from chewing something inappropriate e. If you cannot stay with your pug all day and take him outside frequently, gate off an area in your home for him to stay during the day. Place some pee pads in the corner of this space where he can eliminate. When your pug urinates, the urine would go through the grass into the underlying tray. Place his water bowl and bed in the gated area. Without knowing when he should eliminate, your pug may have accidents in your home more often. A consistent bathroom routine is very important for puppies, since they cannot hold their bladders for very long. If you have a pug puppy, take him out first thing in the morning, 15 to 20 minutes after eating, after naps, and before bedtime. As he gets a little older and has better bladder control, you can start leaving his water in the crate overnight. The indoor gated area lessens the need for frequent outings during the day. However, it may take longer to house train your pug if he gets used to eliminating on pee pads or in the litter box. Your pug should learn to eliminate in the same area each time you take him outside. If you have a backyard, take him out on a 6-foot 2-meter leash, stand in one area of your yard, and let him pick a specific spot within a 6-foot radius of the leash. Examples of this body language are sniffing around, looking for a private place, going to the door, and whining. Give him a treat and verbal praise when he eliminates so he makes a positive association with eliminating outside. When you reward him for eliminating, he will also be learning how to respond to your command. It can take time—up to 20 minutes—for your pug to relax enough to eliminate outside. If you become impatient, you may experience what many other dog owners have experienced: elimination as soon as the dog gets back inside. Twenty minutes can feel like an eternity, so bring something with you e. If you pug has an accident and he probably will clean it up promptly with an enzymatic cleaner that will erase the urine smell. The AKC advocates for the responsible ownership of dogs and promotes purebred dog events, such as the Westminster Dog Show. Go to source If your pug smells the urine, he will likely go back to that spot to eliminate. Do not punish your pug, whether you catch him in the act or not. Doing so will make him fear you, rather than teach him not to have another accident. Your adult pug may have had some previous training, but it may not have been completed or consistently reinforced. Ask the rescue group or animal shelter from where you adopted your pug about what types of additional training he will need. Be patient with your adult pug during the training process. If your adult pug was mistreated by his previous owner, he may be extra sensitive to yelling or harsh punishment. If you have other household members, have them all train your adult pug. The good news is that crate training a pug when done right can be relatively easy and fast compared to most breeds. The crate training process should start as soon as the pug is home, and the younger the puppy the better, old dogs have already acquired habits that need to be changed. Should pugs be crate trained? Unless your dog has some sort of separation anxiety or old bad experiences with the crate, then yes you should definitely crate train your pug or any breed for that matter. Before you do that, you should know a few things to make a good buying decision and have the perfect tools for the job. Choosing the right crate There are various types of crates and each has its pros and cons, depending on how you plan to use it and the breed of dogs you have. The most popular crates are the wire and plastic crates, there are also the heavy-duty ones for strong and aggressive dogs. Pugs are not large nor aggressive dogs, so there is no need for a heavy-duty crate, but a soft-sided crate is not a good idea neither. Pug crate size Choosing the perfect-sized crate for your pug is the most important thing about the whole process, If you get this wrong it can make the crate training difficult, longer, and perhaps even impossible. So how big should a crate be? The crate should be big enough for the dog to stand up, lay down and turn around comfortably with a few extra inches on each side. The crate should have a divider to adjust its size as the puppy grows not to change crates every couple of months. According to the AKC standards, pugs are inches in height and weigh around pounds, for a dog this big the perfect crate is 24 inches. We strongly recommend the Midwest Ultima Pro Metal Crate check price at Amazon , it comes with a divider and has a double doors feature which makes exploring it easy for the dog in the early stages of the training. Treats should be small in size to help you lure the puppy into the crate, reward good behavior and encourage the puppy when inside the crate. Chew toys will help you keep the puppy distracted inside the crate when you need to leave and after the meals. Interactive toys will help release the energy before your pug goes into his crate, and make a good training session to bond and also as a rewarding activity. A dog that is low on energy especially after a play session is more willing to go into the crate to relax, but interactive toys are to be used only for that purpose and when you are there. On the other hand, your pug can have access to his chew toys at all times especially inside the crate to keep him distracted. So what makes a good crate placement? The crate should not be placed next to noisy machines like refrigerators, heaters, or anything disturbing. It should not be directly exposed to the sun or in a spot with too much airflow. At night it should be close to your bedroom so you can hear the puppy when whining or when it needs to go for a break. Following this advice, it would be better to start in the morning so your dog has an entire day to interact with the crate before he has to sleep in it. We recommend doing it on the weekend morning to get as much time as possible to introduce your dog to his new home and get some bonding and interaction done before nighttime. Following these easy steps will make the crate training easier and faster, so make sure each step is valid before you move on to the next. Take your pug preferably with the leash on and just circle around the crate for a couple of minutes, let him sniff around, and check the crate out. When your pug gets inside the crate to get the treat you need to reward with more treats and verbally praise him. The best way to create a bond with the crate is to use food and toys, start serving your dog his meals in the crate then secure a chew toy inside the crate for your dog to stay inside as long as possible inside. Pug in the crate closed While your pug is enjoying his meal inside the crate you can slowly close the door while keeping an eye on his reaction.

Crate training a pug at night Crate training a pug at night is the hardest part especially the first night , but if you start early in the morning and introduce your dog to his crate it will sure be easier. You can expect to wake up a few times especially in the first few nights as most puppies will start whining and barking at night and also need to go for a potty break since young puppies especially small breeds can not hold it throughout the night. You can reduce the number of breaks by simply taking your dog for a walk just before he goes into the crate and also stop giving him water at least a couple of hours before. At night it is best at the beginning to have the crate placed close to your bedroom or in it so you can hear the puppy if he starts whining, usually just talking or gently tapping on the crate will suffice to calm him. How long can a pug stay in the crate? The time a puppy can spend in the crate depends on many factors, including age, the breed, and the activity level, but in general, young puppies can not stay for longer than one hour with two to three sessions a day. Pugs are not very active dogs, so adults that have had enough exercise and playtime before crating could stay from two to three hours at a time in the crate twice a day. Are pugs hard to crate train? The only difficulty being the breed is of small size so at first you might need to wake up a few times at night as they have small bladders and will need a pee break. Related Posts.

A place he can retreat to find peace, calm, and alone time. You can go about your duties in the home without worry or distraction. Crates also come in handy when you want to step out of the house for a couple of hours and you have no one to pet sit. You can rest assured that you will not come to a messed-up house with litter allover, gnawed sofas, and pee in your fur carpet. Another great reason to start crate training is that it is the easiest way to housetrain your puppy. Since he will not want to potty where he will be sleeping, he will be forced to hold the bladder until when he is taken out. Crates are also a super convenient way to travel with your puppy. They are safer than having to keep checking on them as you drive knowing how playful and cheeky pug puppies are. You can use them for both short trips like to the vet, groomers, or grocery store as well as for long trips like interstate drives. In case of emergencies, it is safer and easier to move your puppy in a crate. In the midst of panic during emergencies, a puppy may run away out of fear which can be frustrating having to run after him. If you have multiple pug puppies, you can buy one with a divider, that way you can set a specific size space for each pug instead of buying several crates which can take up so much space. Finding the Right Crate Size and Type The perfect crate size should allow your puppy some room to make some movement like turning, lying down, and standing. Then add inches on all the measurements. Crates come in small, large, and medium sizes, most likely your puppy will fall into the small category size, but still, go ahead and check from the above measurements the category your puppy falls. If you would rather take a bigger crate that your puppy will grow into you can take a size up and use cardboard or dividers to allocate a sizeable amount of space. Crates are made of different materials and each material is ideal for specific purposes. Depending on your lifestyle, you may end up having more than one crate. We have wire crates which are mostly open, collapsible, and lightweight. These are perfect for owners who live in warmer areas or for use during the warmer months because they allow maximum airflow to keep your puppy cool. Since they are collapsible, they are great for traveling and movement from one room to another. Next, we have plastic crates. These are pretty sturdy and durable and great for air transport as they meet most airline requirements. We also have wooden crates. These come in a variety of styles and designs and are great for people who are keen on aesthetics. These however require permanent storage space and tend to be heavy therefore not portable. Lastly, we have the popular soft-sided crates that almost all small breed owners have. They are super light, portable, and great for short trips. Just like wooden crates, they come in a variety of sizes, designs, styles, and colors. When choosing a crate size and type, consider key things like portability, sturdiness, how well the crate blends with your home decor and ventilation. As for traveling, choose a crate that is lightweight, safe, has handles and allows enough ventilation. Its recommended that you get a crate that has ventilation space on opposite sides. Choose a place with high traffic, your dog still needs to feel part of the family even though in a crate. The living room or even in the kitchen would be perfect. However, if your pug puppy is the kind that prefers total alone time and gets anxious in a busy and noisy place, you are better off setting it up in a secluded corner. Ensure the place is clean, ventilated, away from direct sunlight and heat. It should not be too hot neither too cold. Set it up and allow your puppy to explore the crate. Remember pugs can get pretty anxious very fast when around strange things. Part of them getting familiar with the crate will include poking, scratching, and pulling it. Give them a few days before you can begin the training. Stock Up the Crate Once your puppy is comfortable being around the crate, stock it up with their essentials- food, water, toys, and bedding. Most preferred is to get one that you can clip on to the wall of the crate. Stock up a couple of his chewy toys too to keep him busy and to prevent him from chewing his beddings. For the first day, you want to put your puppy in the crate when he is maxed out. By this time he will be looking to take a good rest. Lead him to the crate, close it up, and walk away without looking at him. Continue with your chores as if nothing is strange. Come back later and open the crate to let him out. Repeat this several times a day every day until he associates the crate as his retreat space. Take note of his behavior while in there, if he seems anxious or agitated, take him out. It could be that he wants to toilet or he simply wants out. After a couple of days, start leaving him alone inside the crate. Step out for about 10 minutes, increasing the duration each day until he gets used to being in the crate alone with no one watching him. Never push, pull, or force him to get inside the crate. If he refuses, let him be. Try again after an hour or so. You want him to learn to get in the crate whenever he wants to. Crating only when leaving will make him associate the crate with being abandoned. Keep your kids away from it. They should not play with the dog when in the crate or play inside the crate when the puppy is out of it. Make it a habit to exercise your puppy before crating him. As mentioned earlier, pugs are naturally playful, and crating him when he is under-exercised will cause him to be agitated and restless and may make crate training so frustrating for both of you. Leave the crate open so your puppy can walk in anytime they want to without you having to lead them to it. Every four weeks, you can increase the duration by minutes. By the time he is 17 weeks and more, he should be able to be doing hours at a go. However, it should never go longer than that. However, there are times when you will be forced to cut short his crate time like when he wants to use the toilet, he is crying uncontrollably, vomiting or eliminating, or when he is very agitated. Pugs are naturally active breeds and so they need to be active way more than they need to sit and relax. Ignore your puppy when he whines or fusses wanting to be let out unless you are very convinced there is a need to. You will know when your puppy is scared when he shows signs like flat ears, trembling, and having their tail down. Some even defecate when scared. Going ahead with the crating will only make things worse. Also never crate a puppy that suffers from separation anxiety , this will make their condition worse. Instead, seek professional help to deal with the anxiety. Puppies with separation anxiety show signs like drooling, excessive gnawing, non-stop crying and barking as well as soiling the house. This also applies to puppies with special medical conditions like convalescing. For these puppies, freedom of movement is what they need to help them feel better. And lastly, never use crating as a punishment. This will make your puppy hate the crate as they associate it with negative feelings that come with punishment. Also crating them just because they are demanding your attention and you want your peace and quiet is a form of punishment. After all, you signed up for it. You knew puppies demand affection and attention. The best way to start night time crate training is to ensure that your puppy is super tired before bedtime. Keep them very active one or two hours leading to bedtime so they are exhausted. They will fall asleep with no fuss. Wake him up if you catch them snoozing just before bedtime. Avoid nap times in the late afternoon or early evening. For the first few nights, have him sleep in your bedroom just so he can feel safe with you around. Every couple of days move the crate away from your room towards where you intend it to be eventually. During the first few nights of crate training, your puppy may whine and even cry uncontrollably. Let him whine till he falls asleep. Coming out to engage him will only encourage this naughty nighttime behavior. Soon he will learn that bedtime means only one thing- sleeping till morning and only coming out for bathroom breaks. If getting a wire or wooden crate or a crate with no enclosures, you may need to cover the crate, especially at night so as to keep your puppy warm. Covering the crate can help some dogs feel safer. Covering also helps to keep the dog under-stimulated at night and undistracted during their daytime naps. It makes them feel calm and relaxed. If however, you find that your puppy gets anxious or stressed remove the cover. Use old towels or bedsheets to cover the sides of the crate. Those tiny pieces of clothes can choke your puppy or cause obstruction. This can be very dangerous not to mention amounting to costly vet bills. You can also use wooden cardboard or specially designed crate covers. Puppies are notoriously playful and would rather spend time with you than in a kennel. If you heed to everything we have taught you and put it into practice consistently, crate training should take you two to three weeks depending on the age of your puppy. So yeah, it is difficult but very doable and rewarding. Email One of the most cuddly and sweet yet, stubborn and destructive to stuffs at home is the pug breed.

Andorra and Spain Peter;n said: Exactly , probably shadow is the first working lab that i've seen! Just a question how's your recall with both of them? And what about fetch? Click to expand.They have a pretty strong recall. They came to me with a good foundation, because the guy that bred them had associated it with meal times, following him round the garden etc. It went a bit wobbly when they hit puberty, but I worked on it a lot and it's getting pretty strong again now. I wouldn't trust it with all situations, but this evening, Shadow went bolting off into the forest after a scent and as soon as I blew the whistle, he turned tail and shot back to me. I was very pleased! We play a recall game which is fun for them on almost every training session, which has made a big difference to the speed they come back. I don't really play "fetch" as such with them. When we're on walks, I chuck the odd pine cone for them, which they love chasing after; their chase instinct is very strong! As for training dummies, Willow is very strong at this to my standards! Shadow loves going to the dummy, but isn't so interested in picking it up and bringing it back, so I have a few tactics in my head to try and work through that. Beaux was born with his unique features, a result of being squashed in his mothers womb as one of six pups. This was just the beginning of a life of being pushed around for Beaux, whose intelligence and bubbly personality were not affected by the deformity. He was neglected to the extent that local rescue groups tried to intervene, without success, and all that was left of Beaux was a sad, disease and parasite-ridden bag of bones without a shred of hope left. And then his guardian angel arrived. That is why I adopted him outright from the owner. Beaux Tox had already bounced around and I just wanted him to be a dog. Beaux was given intensive treatment by Dr. Jay Rydberg, a dedicated and heroic vet that invested as much time and emotion into getting Beaux back onto his feet as Jamie did. Together they turned the poor dog around, helping him through a chronic case of heartworms which nearly cost him his life. Finally, Beaux was given a clean bill of health, and Jamie was able to take him home with her. Now he finds himself as part of a happy family, becoming a little brother to another Retreiver called Riley. They have bonded and become best friends.
