So I had to keep him I took him to the vet he doesn't have parvo or anything so far! I don't expect too much at all just need a little help, yeah I think your right he shakes a lot I thought he might be cold I bought him a few baby blankets. When I did the crate and let him out he just wants to play and cries when I put him back after he doesn't potty he's already learn his name well and learn drop it and bed but potty is the main issue I know he's just a baby so it will take time and good I will try that for biting once he's bigger because I have a step daughter who's small and I don't want him to bite her! Should I allow him to sleep with me or is the crate better? |
They do cry and bark in the crate but they must learn they have to stay in it for the scheduled time so you have to time it out and stay the course if he's on a housebreaking schedule. He'll spend most of his day out and about in a confined area in the room with you watching him like a hawk so being in the crate for naps and down-time won't unduly tax him. I would never leave a puppy that young in the crate longer than an hour and check his alertness frequently as they can get hypoglycemia so easily when they are young and/or tiny.
He needs to be on a regular feeding and potty schedule at this young age for many reasons, not the least of which is his blood sugar. Read the internet or YorkieTalk Library for Puppy Care for a schedule for how often to feed and housebreak an 8 week old puppy.
He's likely going to soil your bed if you put him right in it at his age and until he's somewhat housebroken so putting his carrier or crate right up next to the bed or putting him in a hardshell airline carrier which can go right on one side of the bed should make him happy at bedtime and he won't feel so abandoned by his human pack as he's likely feeling right now.
