Patience and consistency is the key here. Try putting your fingers through the crate when she cries so that she knows you are there. Or, put her crate in another room with a TV on so that you can finally get some rest. Good luck to you. |
Agree shes so young to be from her momma and siblings, Try toys that makes noise, TV, stuffed toys made for dogs so she cant tear it up and get the cotton out, Around this time mom would be teaching her many things,How to play, when play becomes to rough,manners,to potty away from her sleeping area, how to eat, Some momms will even chew the food and spit it back up for pup like a bird does, So the fact shes away from her momma is hard, Shell need lots of love and attention, If sleeping in the bed with you is not a problem then welcome the pup, but once you start she will more then likely never sleep elase where, Good luck and have fun with your new baby,PS try putting a mirror where she can see her self, My pups are almost 4 weeks old and love the mirror.
