Puppies do pee a lot. Do you use puppy pads for his potty? I would check the color of the urine and make sure he is hydrated enough. Urine should be almost clear if he is drinking enough. Don't know why he would be wet all the time unless he was laying in a wet area?
Most terriers do seem to have almost boundless energy. If he was kept caged a lot before you got him he may also be enjoying the ability to run around for a change. Giving him lots of exercise will help run off some of the energy so he will sleep better.
New pups should be checked out by a good reputable vet as soon as possible. It is about impossible to estimate the proper weight for your little guy without knowing his frame and muscle mass. That is something your vet should be able to tell you. A puppy that will mature at 4 to 7 pounds is usually quite small at that age but should not be really thin.
Congratulations on your new pet. You can expect him to be full of energy and very smart but a bit stubborn. Terriers can be a real challenge to train if you are not accustomed to their tenacious personality. They are very sensitive and don't respond well to typical training practices. Positive reinforcement works best.
Welcome to YT. There is some good reading here. The "sticky" areas of each forum have some good info as does the library. |
