nope...havent gotten a kennel yet....i got him a small bed but everyone at the pet store told me not to put him in a kennel so i didn't bother....but i m gonna go grab it anyways ..no harm having it in the house...
its not that i m cuddling him all the time but whenever he s not sleeping and done playing he s usually in my arms....
i dont know if its me but i think he's sleeping a lot more today then he did yesterday...i don't know if its just me or is it okay to sleep..i mean he wakes up ...eats..goes to the loo ...plays for 5 -10 mins and then heads up to his be....is he okay??

1. Do you have a kennel yet? That should be #1 on the list of things you ran out an bought...you need to start right from the begining or it makes everything harder
2. Barking is okay..a couple barks to get your attention, otherwise you are teaching your pup to bark to get its way and thus rewarding this behavior-remember they are a pup but also pups need training, you can't reason with a pup so everything is cause and effect, action reaction...that's what they learn from-with the exception of fear based responses-doesn't sound like that's an issue for you though.
3. While you are getting the kennel get some Nutrical
4. Is he already getting used to you...couldn't say...you will soon become what he knows soon though, cuddling all the time-well okay do you plan on cuddling all the time for the rest of his life and risking behavioral issues due to codependency and instilling anxiety etc? Pups need rest play and it's so hard...but to be ignored sometimes...oh it's so hard...but it sets the tone for reality and giving them what they need isn't always giving them what we want to. |
