| whining puppy.. So just brought home another puppy!! her name is Lotus and she is 9 weeks old, when I brought Snickers home for the first time, I NEVER had a whining problem with him when I would leave him in his "den" area. But I cant even leave Lotus in a room alone for just 2 minutes without her yelping and whining so loudly! I feed her and play with her, make her go potty on the pads, and then try it again.but..she still whines so loud!! and i live in an apartment..i dont want the neighbors to complain while i am away and she's whining like crazy!! i have heard the best thing to do is to ignore her... but thats not even working!! does anyone have a good way to deal with this? btw.. i have only had her for about 2 days now, most adorable thing ever. |

| I have the same problem with Teddy. Are you sure your neighbors can hear the whining and crying? I do not think that is as loud as barking? I live in an apartment as well. I've tried standing outside and I can only hear him if he barks, but not if he whines/cries. |

| Is she sleeping with you or do you have a crate/xpen set up where she sleeps? |

| well snickers sleeps with us, she sleeps with us too!! spoiled. snickers is a really well behaved dog though..he never had any issues like this as a puppy. maybe she just feels more comfortable if her den was in the room.. no idea though. |

| Teddy is my first pup and I am crate training him. I'm sure others can help in this area too, but perhaps you should crate your pup and keep her den in the room with you? I know some members have bought the snuggle puppy, which is battery operated and imitates a beating heart and emits warmth. Here's a link Snuggle Puppies SnugglePuppies Snuggle Puppie SnugglePuppy The puppies are sold out, but you can buy a snuggle kitten it is the same. Anyways, the point I'd like to make is that I think you are going to have to train your dog to be independent, and enjoy spending time alone...I think crate training her is a good start and as she does better then you can give her access to larger spaces, more rooms in the house etc. I also recommend that you watch this video, it will provide you all of the advice I've read other members give, except you will get to see it in practice.

| 9 weeks is very young; too young to be away from his Mom and littermates. He is going to want to be with you.
