Puppy cries and barks alot How can I make him calm down. He was not like this before |
He will take time to adjust to his new home. Just give him lots of love and attention. They miss their pack and you have to become that for them. He will settle down after awhile. All little puppies are that way. |
Can you give more detail? How old is he? Does he cry because he is in a crate and he wants out? How long is he kept crated? Yorkies are very social and love human contact. When they are kept penned up or behind a gate where they can't get to you they can get very unhappy. |
He is about 9 weeks old. Dont get me wrong cause I love my new little puppy but he cries or barks alot. Im not sure what he is complaining about. no it is not when he is just in his crate |
some pups Hey, I"m so glad you got a new baby. I know you have been waiting a long time, and you want everything to be just right....in my experience, some pups are just more vocal than others.....just love the little baby, I''m sure it will be everything you've been dreaming of.......if its a Yorkie, how could it not :):) |

9 weeks is very young to have a baby taken from his Mommy - he is crying for his Mommy and littermates. Some puppies never cry and some will for even up to a week! Just remember everything is new to them! |
I would take him to a vet just to make sure its nothing serious. 9 weeks is very young, he should be with momma until 12 weeks so give him lots of TLC and I would use an XPEN instead of a Crate. Good Luck and tell us what the vet says... |

You say he wasnt like this "before"... didn't you just get him????? Anyway, all puppies are different... I think I just got lucky to get a quiet girl :) Just love him and be patient! He'll come around |
How much does he weigh and has he been eating several times a day? Could he be hungry? Are his stools normal? |

Congradulations on your new puppy :) These little ones are very much like human babies. They want to be held and loved , given attention a lot . Your new baby is getting used to being w/o his littermates or his mom. + he is in a brand new home, with brand new people. It's all new to him ! It will take time for him to adjust. I would suggest , treating him like a little prince> he needs time to bond and feel secure with you. Are you his primary caregiver, his owner, his new mommy? If so, then it's up to you to be there for him, and shower him right now. I would also feed him . Allow him to eat and drink whenever he wants to. Does he have acess to the whole house? and has there been visitors over? If so, he maybe feeling very overwhelmed by all the activites. He needs a quiet stressfree time for the next few days. Puppies sleep a lot. I would gently allow him to fall asleep in your arms at times, or in his cozy own bed. Let him be. Pet him often, reassure him, let him know you are there, and he's not alone. What name have you decided? can you post pictures? I bet he is sooo adorable ! I brought my Suzi home when she was going on 9 weeks old. I had no idea this was too young for a yorkie. However she did well. I was home all day with her. the first day though, was hard. :aimeeyork |
A nine week old puppy should be eating about 4 times a day. I always free feed mine so they can eat anytime they want. What are your feeding him? When he barks is he barking at you or is there something in the house that is scaring him? Nine week old puppies bark a lot when they are playing or wanting attention, is he trying to play? |
Congrats on the new baby, he is just probably missing his family, it took Lexie a few days to realize her new home was going to be okidoky :D. To get him to feel his crate is ok, leave it open and close to you when you are typing or watching tv, put a few toys in it or even a treat, so he starts to get the idea that the crate is not a bad thing. Good luck. |
Congrats on your new babyboy...we went through the same thing when Snickers came home. You mentioned he cries and barks when he is in his crate, when you put him in there, be sure you're around, don't leave him too long alone just yet since he is so young. Also, if he is in his crate at night, put the crate in your room so he is by you and feels safe. Put a blanket in there or one of your t-shirts that smells like you. He will come around. ;) |
You already received lots of good advice. Just wanted to say congrats and let's see some pictures :) |
Yes i agree...9 weeks is very young to have left mummy:( Pixie was much older at 14 weeks and never cried once..not even at night! she was very very bold and couldn't wait to explore her new surroundings! Just give your baby lots of cuddles and reassurance...he will soon settle in..a few more days and he will look like he has always lived with you.;) |
Baby Hold him in your arms, let him feel your heart beat and talk softly to him telling him how much you love him, and let him fall asleep there. All babies are alike. Lila & Mia |
All pups are different. I got Mika at 8wks old and he cried a little on his 1st night. I had his crate at the side of my bed and cuddled him until he fell a sleep then I put him back into his crate and we never looked back from that night. Mika is very vocal now with his toys and if he hears a strange noise outside. I think a visit to the vet may help to ease your mind. |
