Don't worry about knocking out a 8 week old baby, you will be knocked out before that baby is lol, let him sleep when ever he wants to, remember, this baby is but a wee baby new to our beautiful wondrous world, he will play til he drops lol, as far as feeding, it is advised to free feed, leave a bowl of food down at all times, let the baby eat when ever he is hungry, fill bowl when it is empty. When you first get your baby from my experience of 8 puppies he will cry / whine for 2 or 3 nights. At bed time put his crate next to your bed, put an item of your clothing a T-shirt, blouse what ever has your scent on it, when he crys during the night reach down into his crate, let him smell you are there near him. The first 2 or 3 nights are the hardest, he is missing his momma and litter mates. These U-Tube videos you are viewing, do they tell you every dog is different, these are just basic guide lines, no 2 dogs are alike. I wouldn't want you to feel like a failure or think you have a weird puppy if he does not follow these U-Tube videos. |
