Puppy help for Cara       09/03/04 07:16 AM Edit Reply Quote BL Reged: 06/01/03 Posts: 3522 Puppies are hard work, as you are learning. I've only had one puppy (years ago) and adopted 3 older dogs---and the older ones (even with their ISSUES) were much easier to deal with than a puppy! I know at one time the beagle rescue sent me some info online about training a puppy. I will try to find it---and send it to you. So don't panic, ok? I agree with Bev---you are going to have to practice tough love with him! As long as you give him plenty of love and attention during the day, it's ok to put him in his crate at night, in another room. That's what you're going to have to do to get some sleep! If he whines, then he'll just have to whine. He needs to learn to settle down and go to sleep BY HIMSELF. As long as you keep him in your room and keep comforting him, you are prolonging this process. As far as the housetraining goes, I'm not sure how often you should be taking him out. This depends on his age. How old is he? Dogs don't like to mess in their space (their crate) so you are going to try to teach him to hold it in there. When you take him out of his crate, immediately take him outside---to the same spot. Like I said before, you are not going to be able to give him free roam of the house. He's too young and his bladder is too immature. He will pee and poop all over your house---if you let him roam. There's nothing wrong with playing with him (let him go outside afterwards because playing causes him to "go potty"), and then putting him in his crate. Try putting him in there, sitting in the same room and just reading a book or watching tv. Go about your business and ignore him. Do this for 15-20 minutes at a time, and gradually build up this time. He will learn to settle down and nap---or just be content to lie in his crate. Dogs sleep most of the day anyway. You should see my 2 now. My bigger beagle is SNORING so loudly in the old Lazy Boy chair behind me (on a blanket, of course.) The smaller one is lying in her crate, on her side, looking at me so happy, like she is in heaven! The door was open, and she went in there by herself to take a nap. I'm gonna look for that beagle training puppy info now! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
