We brought our new puppy yesterday, in general is all right. He eats a lot, is very nice and does potty in his pad easily (poop seems to be harder, he needs to do more than what he's doing). Our main issue has been that when he is tired he is all the time asking to go up with us, is incapable of sleeping close to us, he needs to be on us. We're only giving he food in the crate or in our hands, he seems to be fine in the crate but for now he thinks is a place to eat more than to sleep. Yesterday by night we managed to get him sleep over us and put him inside/close to the crate so he continued sleeping there. We started with 20 min (then he wakes to complain) and we reached around 2h tops. His crate is open all the time, however it is in playpen that we closed in the night (For now, he doesn't like the playpen too much he fights with the fences sometimes). Whenever he started to complain in the night we went to see him, at the beginning of the night as I said, he needed to sleep over us (in the floor) and then we moved him inside the crate, at the end of the night he just needed to see us close by to get by himself back in the crate and sleep again, so we'were happy about that.

However, along the day he is back to need to sleep over us and he doesn't care about the crate for napping, when he is leaved close to the crate (and he enters by treats) , he just goes out again and try to get up on us again. Is like that aaaaaall the time.

Any hints please?

Recently got the Furbo 360 mini and it’s constantly disconnecting from WiFi. Anyone else have this issue? Feels like a complete waste.

my puppy Cosmo is about 12 weeks old. he is very sweet and smart. he knows sit, paw, leave it, and down. only problem is, he's started chewing things he knows he shouldn't in hopes that I will give him a treat once he leaves it. to be more specific, I'm talking about his puppy pads. he will walk over to his puppy pad and chew it, then as soon as I say leave it he walks back in front of me and sits expectantly waiting for his treat. I'm glad that he knows the command so well, but I'm concerned since 1. he's not really leaving it. he's going back every few minutes and does it again. and 2. I don't want him to learn to do negative behaviors just to get treats for stopping. that being said, this may be just a normal part of the process. I just wanted to see if any of you have had experiences with something similar and if so, what did you do?

I've had my puppy just over a week, feeding has been a bit of a pain with him clawing at me then inhaling food in 30 seconds. I've bought a few slow feeders and rotate them throughout the day, the last 2/3 days have been better now he's starting to understand he has to sit & wait then eat

Tonight however after he'd walked away I went to pick up his bowl to which he came running back over then growled and snapped his teeth at me twice

I have a small child so we have been hand feeding, stroking through feeds etc to prevent this. Lots of conflicting advice online on how to handle this so I was hoping for peoples experience & opinions to stop this before it becomes a problem

Thanks!

So two weeks ago my puppy became super clingy, ever since I can’t even go upstairs to the bathroom without him crying let alone leaving him at home.

I’ve been trying to very very slowly increasing absences, desensitising my approaching the stairs ex but nothing seems to help.

The thing is as well, on a night he’ll go int his create by himself and lay down no issues with me going up to bed.

I really don’t understand it, I don’t know why he got clingy out of nowhere.

Any advice would be appreciated

I have a 9 month old frenchie. Sometimes she sleeps in the bed with me and sometimes I move her to her bed on the floor if I’m having trouble sleeping with her. Am I confusing her? Would I better off just keeping her in her bed on the floor? I do love the cuddles in bed but sometimes I just need my space. Appreciate thoughts on this.

He literally has been sleeping all day & doesn’t even get excited about our walk this morning! Is this normal?! Lol. He must be exhausted? I feel guilty we aren’t being busy today but it doesn’t seem like he wants to be!
