allenyeates 3 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Some say a wind up ticking alarm clock under a blanket in its bed is good as it resembles the dams heart beat. Personally every pup I,ve ever had , has the T shirt I,ve been wearing that day chucked in it,s bed. They cry mainly for company, then either hungry (I make sure pups have meat before bedtime) or they are cold. 99 times out of 100 the pup feels lonley , so a radio left on low can also help..... I leave radio on low 27/7 in my pigeon loft as it has calming effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacrabbit 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 i took all my pups to bed for the first week, and i mean in my bed then on the scond week i gave them there own bed in my room and they have always slept there. good thing about it was i got them house trained very quick as they would wake me in the night for a pee and i would take them outsid,e and as i made shore they only went outside in the day (aside from the odd accident)they never thought of the house as a toliet. i would not worry about nextdoor. just say hay its pup. hot water bottle in a blanket, ticking clock , lots of stuffed toys.

allenyeates 3 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Meant to say old bill should not get involved. Too much noise from whatever reason is noise polution ( council officer not crimminal) but I am talking loud music etc. In the case of a pup............ It,s just that.. a pup... Tell your neighbours they,ll just have to live with it for a few days.. They ALL very soon settle down... GOOD LUCK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell your neighbours they,ll just have to live with it for a few days.. They ALL very soon settle down... GOOD LUCK. Try the hot water bottle, clock etc. but i try and leave a blanket for the dam and pups to sleep on for a few days before i pick the pup up, the familiar smell seems to calm them down a bit i think. But as for ALL lurchers calming down soon, my first lurcher cried every night for 18 months and then started as soon as the sun started coming up. I did a lot of things wrong with this pup though because i didn't know any better. Whatever you do don't go and see it if its whining. thats what i did and paid for it!!

jinnyfizz 5 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) The little chap's only 6 weeks old isn't he - very young to be coping with being alone in a kennel. Dogs are pack animals and he's been taken away from his mum very young so he's lonely and scared and that's probably why he's crying. My whippets live in the house and have access to the bedrooms if they want - they've never made a sound at night because they feel part of the pack. And that's the human pack as well as the doggy one lol My lurcher pups live outside but they have each other for company (as well as heat lamp, furry blankets and plenty of food)and they come in the house during the day, so no problem there either. If you can't keep him in the house, then all the advice give above is good - ticking clock, radio, warmth, food. But above all else I reckon the little chap needs company Edited November 27, 2009 by jinnyfizz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richie10 345 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Exercise and food before bedtime, something to chew and a radio, comfy bed and draught free. It will soon get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It cried and whined which is understanably a bit annoying!!but obviously inevitable..so we ignored it and ignored it- its hard to do, but after a few nights it soon began to settle. Just dont say anything whatsoever when it cries so it doesnt gain any type of attention and itll eventually learn to settle and have a bedtime routine!Dogs get used to a routine dont they, so sooner or later theyll realise what the score is. I hope all goes well with the new pup Edited November 27, 2009 by foxylady Quote Link to post Share on other sites
