Bought A New Puppy

gregrocks89 · May 26, 2011

So yesterday i bought a new puppy. I gotta transfer pictures from my blackberry to the computer before i can post some pics. She is a 11 week old rottweiler. So anyways last night was her first night and she whined and whined and peed in the house a couple times but she knows to shit outside. Does anyone have any tricks to help their dog to not whine all night and be more dependent? I know shes a puppy but im also raising a baby girl with my fiance to haha

Where do you keep her at night? I have English Mastiffs and I crate trained both of them. I would get a large crate for her at night and when you are gone. Its not mean and its usually very calming to them. Its their space..like a den and they WONT pee or poop in it. The peeing is nerves and anxiety. They also will chew out of anxiety too so a crate is a good idea. Just when you see an accident...just clean it up and dont scold her. But when she pees outside make a big deal...lots of praise, even a treat. She will clue in real fast that peeing outside is good and gets her lots of attention.

The transition to a new home takes a week or 2. But I would get a crate if she was my pup...its best for her safety and your carpet ;)

+1 Rotties love to please their owners. My first one lived to be 14.5 years old, almost unheard of but he was loved very much and always given his heartworm medications, etc. and regular visits to the vet. My new one (now 4 yrs old) is a very loving dog as well and loves to please the family. They have very good instincts about people as well so love her and play with her and don't ignore her and she will love you back.

It's called a puppy just like babies they whine. Start off by joining a puppy class somewhere and learn and teach the dog.

It's just separation from the other pups or mom. It will stop in a day or so.

Congrats!

I have an 8 month old English mastiff, so we've just recently been through that too. We cared at night and when we were gone, and just made sure to take him outside A LOT. You have to remember he's a puppy and has a small bladder so a few accidents are to be expected, but soon enough he will get the hint to go outside. My mastiff now either goes and sits by the door if we are downstairs or sits and stares at me and cries at me if we are upstairs.
