I have a new puppy, and she is now 10 weeks old. I have the DVD "Raising a Working Puppy" and she is house broken and stays quiet in her crate at home.
My problem is I am now trying to get her used to her out door Kennel/Run. I have left her during the day for a few hours and she doesn't stop barking at all. As I write this I can hear her. I do take her out once she quiets down but it may be for only a few minutes.
What advise does anyone have? Ed's video doesn't really go much into dept on who to get a pup used to an outdoor run / kennel. Should I just let her be? Any help will be appreciated.
You left a baby outside alone? I don't have puppies, but I think that would not be the right thing to do. I apologize if I am wrong. Someone will set the record straight.
But, if it is okay to leave the puppy alone outside, you could do it for a short time in then out reward while inside and such like getting the pup crate trained.
Ten weeks seems a bit young to be trying to acclimate your pup to an outdoor kennel all by herself; she has only been away from her litter mates a few short weeks and is surely still adjusting to her new home and surroundings. Since she is good in her kennel, is it possible to keep her there, inside the house or where ever she is accustomed to sleeping?
Thanks for the replies Jo and Barbara, I know that she is just a pup and she does stay in the house in her crate at night. I just want don't want to leave her in the house when I am at work, I would rather she stretch out and get some fresh air in an outdoor run. She has a dog house, lots of water, and safe chew toys.
I know she is young and will be a bit more patient.
Consider her crate is small and safe -- the outdoors BIG and scary.
So, How about you put a chair out and sit with her outside? Then, gradually lengthen the time she is out? I agree fresh air and sunshine for all animals is important. But, having a secure and non-stressed pup is more important.
If you start acclimating her now to it with you there, then gradually walking away and back, then walking away from her vision and coming right back then gradually staying away longer, etc, then, when she is old enough, she will be ready and secure to be left outside alone.
(I am a softie, others on this board know how to do things better than I do and quicker...sometimes you just have to rip the bandage off instead of peeling it a little at a time. I tend to peel.)
