Sunday my roomie and I bought 2 weimaraner pups. We have set up a small bathroom to keep them in until they are bigger. It has a bed and toys and peepee pad in there. While we are at work then stay in there. When I get home I take them on a walk and come back and play and feed them. We are having to take them out every few minutes it seems. They tinkle little drops everywhere! Anyways, they also stay in the bathroom at night. They whine for about 30 minutes.. then between 1 and 3 they whine and we get up and take them out then put them back then they whine again for another 30 mins. or so. Well, last night they seemed to whine even longer and started up at 5 also. (needless to say I am tired) what can we do to help with this situation? I know these dogs require alot of attention. We got 2 of them hoping that they would be company for each other. One of the dogs shows more seperation anxiety than the other. She is the lead whiner. I'm not sure what else to do. |

Sounds like typical puppies....My pup did this the first couple of weeks and then calmed down quite a bit. Besides placing a shirt of mine in the pin with my pup, i give her toys to chew on (that are safe for pups like kongs), and a water dish in her crate. When i leave the house i leave the radio on or tv so they can hear noise to help with seperation anxiety. All you can do now is just wait it out...they will learn don't worry. Good luck! |

puppies whine that is what they do...you can try putting a ticking clock rapped in a blanket, it soothes some puppies.
also with the tinkle problem..they bladders are not fully up and going so when they get excited, or upset, or they run..or if a puppy moves in general they can tinkle a lil...other than that...what you can do is sleep with them...that always worked for me...but the one flaw with that is once you start..they will always sleep with you...so it is up to you.
good luck |

If you dont have time to devote to an animal, why would you get them in the first place?! You can NOT expect to lock something that needs human interaction in a confined place and have them not cry! My best advice to you would be that if you dont have the time or energy take them back and ask for a refund, if your lucky you may just get it. Nonetheless, get these dogs a new home with someone who has the time and patience to invest. If you decide to actually step up and care for them the right way, dont bother locking them in anywhere. If you train them correctly you will have dogs that dont chew or have anxitey problems. Good luck and do whats best for the dogs. |

maybe they are missing there mum. you need to put a hot water bottle and a clock near them so the clock is like their mothers heartbeat, and the bottle is their mothers warmth. they may have been taken away from their mother too early, its illegal to do that I think, so you may want to make sure that isn't the case, but if they HAVE taken the puppies away to early it might be a good idea to call the police. give them my love, and hope this helps!  |

Try putting a wind up clock in the bathroom with them. The tick tick tick seems to calm puppies as it simulates the mother's heartbeat. |

When I have a pup that cries, I put a small clock in with the pup, so that the pup listens to the tick tock tick tock. For some reason, the ticking seems to make the pups feel more secure, safe, and they don't cry. The more you get up for the pups, the more they will continue to cry. Just don't get up with them at night, leave a clock in there, and your pups should start to sleep all night. |

When you put them to bed just let them whine. If you go in there it will just show them that they can win and will keep whining until you come. One thing that may help is wear an old t-shirt and put it in their bed with them. Your smell should help comfort them. I have also heard that having a wind up clock in their will help them too. It is similar to their mother's heartbeat. Just let them whine and they will stop soon. |

Welcome to life with puppies. Remember these little ones have just lost everything they ever knew. Their mother, breeder and littermates all in one go.
It may take a few days for them to settle it may take a few weeks. They will need to potty during the night for a long time yet. A few months at least so you will have to get used to getting up in the night. It averages 1 hour for one month of life they can go without pottying.
They will train better if you crate train them rather than just leaving them in a room on their own.
I have raised 2 pups together, but it's not easy. If you are away a lot it's going to be tough. |

unfortunately hunting breeds can be the most difficult to live with... they are high energy and want to be on the move...locking a puppy in the bathroom for the entire day only stresses them out.they get bored and destructive...
are you in an apartment?
your best bet also would have been to get 1 pup..not 2... raise the one and if you want another then look at getting a friend...one puppy is hard enough..2 will drive you insane
perhaps consider a doggy daycare...at this point it really is your only option...those pups need stimulation |
