I’ve only had my new puppy for a little over a week, and we’re crate training/I’m sleeping in the next room over so I can hear if she wakes up. She’s actually been sleeping great at night but I have been sleeping terribly 😅 every single night I hallucinate that she’s escaped her crate and is in the bed with me, and it takes fully waking up for me to come back down to earth and realize that there’s no way she could have escaped her safe crate.

Anyone else experience this/how long did it take for you to sleep soundly again? I’ve been spending so much money on all her paraphernalia, but am thinking of getting a camera so I can check and reassure myself…but then I wonder if I would start to get overly obsessive about checking constantly lol

Our doggo is very smart. A bit too much at times. She's currently just over 1 year old (she's only 10kg so we assume this is teenage territories). She seems to chew for attention but doesn't really love chew toys, only chews like yak milk chews or things with a LOT of flavour. (Nyla bones are interesting for a day).

We went her to stop chewing so any time she chews we say either leave it or a firm No or redirect by making her lay attention to us and reward every time. how do we know that we are rewarding the fact she is not chewing and not rewarding going up to the chewing thing, then stopping to have a treat.

We adopted a 4-month-old mixed breed dog a month ago. My partner works at home and I work part-time, so we spend a lot of time at home. We were doing work so that she would be alone, for example both of us working in the office with the door closed and she with access to the rest of the house (the house is prepared for her). She made a lot of progress, at first she cried and scratched the door and finally she was able to relax and be in the living room for 1 to 2 hours alone. We started leaving the house without her, ten minutes, then an hour. He cried at first, but then he calmed down. I thought we had made a lot of progress. Last week for the first time she was alone for 2 hours. We left for 4 hours, she spent the first two hours with a friend who was taking care of her and then she left. We recorded it on video and the same thing, she cried for a while and then went to bed to sleep for an hour. He got up and cried a little again until we came back. More or less everything normal.

The fact is that since that day when we thought we had made a lot of progress, we can't go out for even 5 minutes without her starting to bark like crazy and crying and wandering around. He follows me from one room to another. He cries again if I'm locked in a room, which he had stopped doing. I leave Kong with puppy yogurt and treats, and I spread treats all over his bed.

Any advice? Has it happened to you? Could it be that those 2 hours were too much for her even if she didn't seem so radical? Are regressions normal in this matter?

Thank you so much

Got a labrador when he was 8.5 weeks old, now 15 weeks. Training's great. After the first 1-2 weeks, we haven't really had any accidents in the house, but he's crated at night and it's got to the point that we dread getting up in the morning.

He's absolutely fine in his crate, but since the start he's pooped in it at night, which was expected at the start. It's never stopped though, he does his business and rolls around in it. The crate is big enough, but not too big. We've tried feeding him in there, puppy pads or not, bedding or not. Nothing seems to help. Whatever he sleeps on is constantly being washed, he's been bathed at least twice a week since we picked him up because he's been absolutely covered.

He's not punished in any way for it, but it's getting draining now. Everything I've read suggests that going through the night should have stopped or be stopping about now and it's not showing any signs of change. His routine hasn't changed, he doesn't get any food after 6pm, he goes into the garden a few times after that, we go a walk about 8.30, he goes out around 9.50ish and then is crated for the night. Any ideas or tips?

So yall I am here to update you on smelly belly the Shorkie but secretly a sharkie. Yall….miss gurl is miss gurlingggg!!! She has been balls off the walls!! She has recently found out…that she hates leases. It’s a no for her so we have been putting in THE WORK! She has also recently found out that she can scream…no I don’t mean barking I meaning SCREAMING like she’s being murdered. We took her to the vet for a checkup (miss stinky binky belly got a little ouch on her leg) and she screeched at the vet. Shes all good though! Shes healing amazingly! Super duper happy about that! My fur mama heart was hurting for her.

Bella has also decided she despises her brothers. She does love the cats though! But for some reason if my other dogs are laying down she just…tries to eat them. They don’t mind though lol 😂. She also has started to refuse her own food and wants the big dogs food, so we have been feeding her in her crate, (I feed all of my dogs except for my elderly ones in their crate!). She is still obsessed with straws and sparkly things! She still loves her tail.

We also no longer are letting her sleep with us. She still in this playpen, where she had beds, toys, food, water, and puppy pads. It’s been going awesome, and she actually prefers it! (Best purchase ever!) we also are still training with the crate and she’s a total rockstar! We were to the groomers the other day for the first time, just for a little introduction groom, (a bath, nail trim, and light fur trim) and she did awesome!!! She was just happy to have attention!

So all in all miss stinky binky bellybutton is doing awesome and we couldn’t be happier with how far she has come!
