"Hit me baby one more time!"
OK, so Dooley and I are Kennel training....... or I am trying and he is wanting no part of it. Its been 5 days now and he is starting to get horse. He does good at night but im next to him where he can see me and usually only whines for a minute or two before falling asleep. But during the day Im guessing he is in there yelping/barking/whining his little but off for hours at a time. Earlier at lunch he was trying to bark at a box the ups man dropped off and was having quite a hard time doing so and when he did it sounded as if his vocals were strained. Much like a human who is horse.
Is this a bad thing? Is this pretty much normal behavior for an 8 week puppy who is being kennel trained? What advise do the experts have to make this transition easier for him? Ive tried socks and shirts (scent reasons), toys and a blanket over the kennel. All trying to make him more comfortable but Im thinking this isnt working. Or am I doing everything ok and he just needs more time to adjust?
Thanks
