Why is she crying? Because he's not eating? Mine didn't eat much in the first couple of days. Think what a upheaval it's been for him to be separated from his family and put into a new place? He's only a baby! It'll be fine. You just need patience

when did he start eating properly? did you feed him on eukanuba? im gonna take him outside to toilet soon!!

The first few weeks especially are very hard (much like having a newborn baby) but lots of hard work and patience will pay off. there's nothing to worry about, he's bound to be a bit unsettled to start off with. Barney is too, but he'll be fine after a few days.

If this is your first dog try and look into puppy training classes. It will help you and Jaffa learn the basics of obedience and get him socialised with other dogs.

have you taken youre dog outside michelle to do its business? my mum keeps saying its too cold for the dog to go outside to toilet i think shes forgettin he has fur!!

Yes he's been out a lot. He doesn't seem to notice the cold at all.
He did come from a farm mind you and they used to put the pups and Mum out in the barn during the day ,so he's quite a hardy little pup.

Honestly though, a few minutes out for a pee won't harm him.

Hey everyone iv been to the vets,hes had his first set of vaccinations and said he is a really healthy pup he just had alot of wax in his ears,so she cleaned them out 4 him and he looks so much happier now,the vet also gave us some solution to clean his ears with every other day... and last night he was playing with my dad alot and he had quite abit to eat compared to what he normally eats.. and he slept reallly well last night,we put an old piece of clothing into his crate with him that has my mums scent on it and put a hot water bottle inside it,it seemed to help

Glad your getting on ok with your puppy and that everything went alright at the vets!xxx

Thankyouuuu feline! he had a poo on the kitchen floor this morning though so i had to clean that up haha!

He will eventually learn not to do that! I was so proud of my Yorkie when he had his 1st outside poo!!!

Thats to be expected though. If a puppy needs to go, it doesn't know that it should hold onto it. As the pup gets older, it will learn.

is there anything in Particular i can do to help him?

No, he will learn to stop messing on the floor in his own sweet time. The only thing you can do is install a dog flap, and show him how to use it. That way, if he needs a pee - he can take himself out. Again though, it doesnt happen instantly, it will take him a while to venture out alone.

my friend i should take him outside every 20 minutes and teach himto do his business in the garden,what do you think?

Yes, you should be taking him out every 20mins, as soon as he has his food and when he wakes up.

okkk i will hes sleepin now so when he wakes up shud i take him outside straight away im meant to b feedin him at eleven tho so shud i wait til iv fed him?

I would take him outside when he wakes up for a wee / poo. Then feed him, give it 5 mins and take him out again.

Yeah I'd take him out then bring him back in. Then take him out again after food.

ok i will do! thankyou v much hun its just taking some learning thats all iv never had a puppy before.

Can't remember, it wasn't long before she was eating more. She was on Hill's dry food at first, recommended by the breeder but she never liked it that much. After a while I started feeding her on the RAW diet, much better.

ohhh okay well jaffa apparently ate quite alot last night i wasnt here i was at work but when my mum fed him she gave him the recommended amount and she said he nearly ate it all

i took him outside and he had a wee and iv given him his food and hes just had a tiny mouthful and crawled bk into his dogbed lol

Aww bless him. Lawks mine was manic all day, hardly ever slept

oooo hes just gone into his crate and snuggled up in it,hasnt had a poo yet though lol iv laid newsppaper everywere so at least if he does pooo it wnt be on the floor!

Dear god no - my greyhound experienced laminate flooring for the first time over Christmas, she looked like she was drunk She's bad enough trying to stay upright and not slip everywhere on tiles, on laminate she was all over the place

I think my greyhound hates me. I have laminate as well, her nails are fairly long but i brought her some dog totes socks... Seems to have done the trick.... (although she sleeps most of the day she's very lazy)
