8 week old black Lab, FREE to a good home!

[.sarah]

I have a little black puppy here that is free to a good home. Mostly potty trained, answers to the name "Buck", comes when you call him, sits on command, eats good, is healthy, but has one problem: he won't be quiet!

Any takers?



This is a joke. I am just so frustrated with the crying. He's been here over a week and he won't shut up It's so hard to get school work done (which I have actually been making an effort at because there's something I *really* want and I have to finish my classes this weekend in order to get it) when there's a little puppy crying 2 feet away. I won't have my parents watch him, because he is my responsibility. He is such a good boy except when it comes to the crying. It's insane.

This is mostly just to rant. It's not a training issue, so I don't need any suggestions. I have been ignoring him, as have my family, when he cries, but it still doesn't work. I wish he would PLEASE just sleep today!! Oh how nice that would be.

Nova never did this. She was the first puppy I ever trained myself. I don't think Mandy ever cried, but Mandy was a dream come true puppy ... she basically trained herself

He's given up after about 45 minutes of whining, and he's sleeping now (knock on wood).

Oh I know how you feel! Sally is spending the night and she still hasn't kicked the crying thing yet.

Well he's been sleeping for about 15 minutes now

Okay, so do I turn left at the light by the gas station or right? I will be right there to get that boy.

Ginger's mom, you turn right at the light. Whoever makes it here first can have him.

[chocolatepuppy]

I remember those days.. Riley at 8 weeks old was a non-stop pup.. she never even understood naps until she was about 3 months old.. she would just keep going until she passed out.

It will get better though! Just let him know that he's got to be on your schedule.. when you want to play it's playtime, when it's quiet time he needs to learn how to relax. Even though he's still a baby and needs a lot of attention, he has to learn that by crying he's not going to get it.. or for that matter, get attention ALL the time. So yeah, probably ignoring his crying when you need to is the best thing.. maybe give him a puppy kong full of peanut butter if you need to shut him up

Have you tried putting on some headphones and listening to a good song while you do your home work?

i figured a song is a lot less annoying then a whining dog.
thats what i do when im trying to read something really long on the internet,
and my family will not shut up in the background. i cannot tune them out worth
a crap.(i guess i want to hear what they and ease drop) LOL

but yet its not annoying when i listen to a song and read.

You can always send hiim my way anytime you want, he will always be welcomed with open arms.

I'll take him in!!

Hope he soons stops whining for good. It's cute at first but after awhile it seriously gets old.
