nmaysonet Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I recently got this dog 9 days ago and for the most part its been a little stressful. First few days he had accidents in the living room and I had to make an adjustment to my plan to decide what the best plan of action was with this puppy. I couldn't put him in a kennel because he'd cry incessantly so for the first 2 days he slept in bed with me and would wake me when he needed to go potty. I tried getting him used to the kennel and then he pooped and peed in the kennel on the 3rd day. I decided to put him in a 5x7 area in the kitchen leashed and with a carper, food, water and toys and he liked it better. He is leashed for most of the day unless I take him outside to go potty and I play with him and walk him 2-3 times daily. Anyway, a began a routine of rewarding him when he'd go potty and paly with him to get him tired so he'd sleep. There were less accidents by far 3-days without any accidents and he'd cry and it would wake me up and I would take him out. After taking him out at midnight and then again at around 3 AM, he'd usually cry because I supposed he'd feel lonely but I would run upstairs and go back to bed because obviously 3 hours of sleep is not good along with work and school. 4th day of this new area he had an accident but I didn't hear him cry to let me come to him to let him out... Then he peed on his carpet while I was playing with him later on that day and couldn't understand why. Again 5th day accident and again I heard nothing, no cry and he just went potty in the kitchen floor 😐 and I cant understand why all of sudden he stopped crying to let me know... I had company over and they came and he wanted to play all the time but hed tire out and my company and I would talk, etc and the dog would want attention. I'd ignore him and we'd continue. I took him outside several times. Next morning (today) he again had an accident in the kitchen. At this point I'm clueless as to what is going on with him. He isn't crying at all either when I leave him alone... and I cant keep cleaning up after him. I decided to buy pee pads to avoid the mess I have to clean up but its stressful to me that the puppy is just doing whatever. What do I do? He's completely stopped crying, for all things... He's too quiet to be a puppy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 He needs to be taken out every hour or so , and straight after sleeping, eating, drinking and playing , he will need to be let out several times during the night so I would set and alarm if u go down and he's already toileted set your alarm a bit earlier till you learn his pattern , has he had all of his shots yet? He shouldn't be out on walks until he's had all of his injections and when he can go out he should only be walked for 5 minutes per month of age per walk so when he's 3 months old it'll be 15 mins per walk 2 or 3 times a day , at 4 months it'll be 20 mins and so on Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmaysonet Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 He's up to date on his shots, his next shots are at 9 and 12 weeks. He usually sleeps for 3-4 hours, should I wake him to take him out? He sleeps a lot I've noticed which usually helps me when I need to get work done, I could definitely wake him up and take him out every hour or so. Also what do you recommend for feeding times? I usually leave his water and food bowl inside his kennel all day and refill the water often. Should I have a set feeding/water schedule and only feed him a few times daily? I'm new to dogs as I never had one I raised myself and feedback and help to guide this better would ease my mind ! Thank you for the feedback so far!

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 He shouldn't be out on walks until he's had all of his injection so not until after her 12 week shot , in a secure garden is fine but that's it atm during the night if he's sleeping 3-4 hours I would get up every 3 or 4 hours to let him out , but definitely every hour or so during the day , if he's asleep let him sleep just watch him and take him out as soon as he wakes up , I would stick to a feeding schedule too it will be easier to toilet train him Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmaysonet Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 OK! I will try that as well! I can update you and I will not let him walk around anymore. I'll just take him out in my backyard to go potty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can carry him around outside to help get him used to smells and sounds the world can be a big scary place for a puppy but you definitely don't want him getting sick from wild animals etc Good luck with the toilet training Sent from my [device_name] using http://Husky Owners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Still a baby (imo far too young to have left mum! 12 weeks much better. I feed mine wheat, gluten & grain free diet. Xcel 32 ideal for puppies into adults. 3,4 or five meals a day, total = what a full grown adult of her breed will eat. Forthglade, Lovejoy and Albion (comes frozen 400g packs) and with puppy multi choices in the first two. Frozen carrots help teething into 6 months but great as a treat too. Raw eggs with crushed shells for extra protein, and calcium. Pea size only - coconut oil - rich in Vit D. Max half teaspoon/daywhen grown. ACV - half now -1 tspn when grown. And Kefir for a healthy gut, breaks down lactose intolerance. Avoid all onions & onion family, chocolate, raisins, currants, prunes & grape family - can be very toxic. Research on all husky forums in fb - this is a fab site too. Avoid deer horn antlers until second teeth are well established - chewy hard rubber or other raw bones ok..but remove splinters and bones & always supervise ...bones are easier on the teeth if frozen too. Never coojed bones (esp chicken) altho' my two live pork/lamb chop bobes! You are teaching her EVERYthing now so start off right.. successdogs.com Read, watch learn, apply. Sge needs a lot more time WITH you to bond as staying in her kennel won't help. If she poops indoirs rake a bit outsude, so she knows that's where it belongs.. mum would teach the litter pack so mych, including solcialising, behaving nicely, etc. If she bites and nibbles, pop her into a top 1/3rd covered crate in a room on her own. (= rejection to unwanted behaviour). Bring her back in to socialising.. if she's good, reward and praise with "good girl, be nice!' Repeat 'rejection tactics' if not. Can pm you lots more info on husky/history/grooming/ training etc.. just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
