I had the same issue with Maddox the first couple weeks, I could not leave him anywhere alone including to eat his food. Now I can leave him outside more and he wont cry and keeps himself entertained. I have had him for a month and it seems to enjoy his alone time more each day

Well I took him to the Vet this weekend and the Doc said he is super healthy. He is now 11 weeks old and is 19lbs. It seems now he is sleeping better in his crate although every once in awhile he starts crying when I put him in their during the daytime. His potty habits which seemed good at...

Well I am leaning more towards keeping him now. He is becoming more manageable now. He can still be a pain, but seems to be a little better now that I have had him for almost 2 weeks. I guess my question now is what to expect from the 3 Month on age. He is walking on a leash much better, crying...

Well I have had my boxer pup now for 10 days. Its beena tough ten days. He is much better and I see he gets better day by day. The problem is not with him, I think he is probably doing great for a 9 week pup. I think its me. I am not sure whay i got myself into I find myself possibly not...

I have been feeding my 8 week olf 3 times a day. How long do I need to continue this for? If he does not finish his bowl I pick it up.

Well its on and off now for the whining. Its not as loud and violent now, and he does seem to fall asleep for longer periods of time. I put the crate next to my bed, I got something from the pet store that you can warm up in the microwave, its like a flat stuffed animal. I warm the thing up ...

Thanks for the reply - He is 8 weeks old, the breeded was feeding him eukunuba which was softened with water and put in the fridge for a few hours. I am mixing the eukunuba with science diet and dabbling with water and then putting in the fridge. Maybe I will try not putting in the fridge...

Evereytime I feed my pup (3 times a day) he doesnt not go right ot the food, I have to show it to him and he takes a coupel bites and then walks way? I have to keep pointing at the food until he eats more. He does not even finish a cup of food so i take away after he eats a good amount. How...

I am feeding him science diet for puppies. Last night was miserable, he whined and barked for 8 hours straight. I got no sleep. When i got home I took him for a long walk he seemed tired by the end of the walk. Then let him hang out while we watched a movie and he layed by our side. When it was...

Thanks for the help. I am so excited so far. last night he cried for the 1st hour in the crate, then slept thru the night. I woke up around 6:30 played with him outside for a lil after he had a nice pee. I then put him back in the crate while I got ready for work, then fed him and took him for a...

I just took home my 8 week old fawn last night. I am curious of 2 things: 1) If the dog does nto eat all of its food, should I pick it up? 2) How many treats should I be giving him? I want to potty train him as well as train him to walk on leash so I assume I will need treats to help. How...

Hello my name is Evan I am from Delray Beach, Florida and I just took home my 8 week old fawn last night. I plan to crate train the dog so any advice is welcome. I have already read many threads and articles and look forward to joining the community here.

Do you usually leave water in the crate?

Thanks for the help. I know the patio may be a short term solution, I assume since its a pup I should not take my eyes off of it? I was thinking it would be nice for the dog to be on the patio and get used to it when I can't have my eyes on him
