It's heartbreaking to hear a new puppy whimper for the first time. When it happens a second time, you'll be in big trouble. After a series of howls, especially if it happens in the middle of the night, it can really make you wonder if it was a wise decision to bring the puppy home.

Deciphering the whining, or learning how to talk to a puppy, is a very important first step in making sure your new puppy feels safe and comfortable. There are multiple reasons why puppies whine, and before you can tackle the noise, you need to discover the reason behind the dog whining.

Why do puppies whine?

There are usually several reasons why a puppy whines:

*He needs to go out to defecate

* Hope you pay attention to him

*He feels isolated or fearful

*He doesn't feel well

You can stop pups in the same way you make your dog fall in love with his cage The dog wailing in isolation (Editor: First of all, it is not recommended to use a cage, because the surrounding is too transparent, and you do not like to sleep without pulling the curtains. The air box is a good choice, closed on three sides, and the puppies only need to focus on the front. But I have never advocated keeping puppies in the air box. It is recommended to keep the door of the air box open and set up a fence to make it look like the inside and the outside. In addition to the air box, there should be additional toilets in the fence. You can omit >. The puppy has the right to choose whether to sleep in the air box or on the ground in the enclosure). As soon as a puppy enters the house, he needs to learn that his cage is a safe haven. Take some time to adjust the puppy to its new home. His first impression of the cage must be positive, and don't let him feel help, this place is horrible! Give the pup enough time to explore the new cage, and play some games before he enters the cage to make him feel tired (Editor: Note that the puppy will usually pee at the end of the game, don't pee in the cage, take him out to solve the problem of bowel and bladder first, and then go in, make sure that the positive means don't put him in! Throw food in it, Let the puppy go in. Don't rush to close the cage door. Let the puppy know that he can go in and out, so that he can feel safe!). Teach your dog that all good things will happen in the cage, such as his dinner and toys filled with treats, etc., so that he will look forward to the time in the cage.

Some owners place their cages away from their bedrooms in order to avoid the puppies' whining in the cage at night. Unfortunately, doing so can create problems with potty training. All puppies can't hold their urine all night, and if you can't hear him whimper when he needs to go out to defecate, he will settle in the cage. This makes the meaning of using a cage weakened, because most puppies will not defecate in their own den (Editor: This problem needs to be treated on a case-by-case basis, because defecation is often not a physiological need, but a psychological problem. Humans are nervous and anxious also frequently runs to the toilet). Put your puppy's cage in or near your bedroom so that he can be heard when he needs to defecate and whine in the middle of the night. In addition, keeping the puppy closer to you can eliminate his wailing caused by isolation and fear (Editor: Can you stop crying when you leave your mother at a young age? For example, the baby has been brought by the mother all the time, and suddenly replaced by the grandma to take care of it, certainly not Get used to it!).

When your puppy suddenly stops playing with you, it's a sign that he needs to go out to defecate, but watch out, as soon as the whining signal appears, he may be about to pee right away. A young, active dog will need to defecate more frequently, usually urinating every 30-45 minutes. The best way is to take the initiative to take him out to defecate, rather than waiting for the dog to start whining before going out. Cage puppies may hold their urine for a little longer. You can calculate how often a puppy needs to defecate. The length of time will vary depending on the puppy's age. That is to say, the longest holding time for ten-week-old puppies is two hours, and it may be longer at night (Editor: Human babies pee when they want to, dogs are the only ones in the world that are required to hold their urine. animals, it's not fair).

A careful owner must distinguish the difference in howling puppies. You need to learn to tell the difference between a really needy cry and an unhappy baby whimper. For example, if your puppy is whining as you approach the cage door and you've confirmed that his bladder is empty, it's best to ignore his protests and wait for him to calm down on his own. The puppy can have free time to howl, give him a toy to keep him busy, and a treat-filled rubber toy to focus on instead of crying for your attention. Keep in mind that rewarding behavior is recurring, so if a puppy is obliged to hear his whining, the puppy will continue to whine to get the owner's attention.

A puppy whining may also mean something he needs, but it is important that you help your dog understand that silence is more effective than howling. If the puppy is whining because it's dinner time, wait until he's quiet before putting the food bowl down. If your puppy is screaming excitedly when you come home and you want to let him out of the cage, wait a while and wait for him to calm down before opening the cage door. Asking for attention and wailing in need are annoying behaviors, so always remember not to encourage your dog to do so Wailing and whimpering are common in puppyhood, but the timeline for this style of communication to stay in puppyhood is up to you.

(Editor: Provide a real case. Once a parent consulted the puppy howling at night, we judged it was caused by nervousness and anxiety. So the parents thought of a way. It happened that her daughter was four years old , I often listened to the lullaby as a baby. She put an umbrella outside the dog's cage to block the light to make the cage feel like a cave. After the dog played and defecate, dim the lights and play the lullaby very softly. Just use After one night, the puppy's whining problem was completely solved. Of course, this is just a case, and the specific situation needs to vary from dog to dog, but it is also a way of doing it. The wisdom of a mother is infinite!)
