Many new dog owners are totally unaware of the needs of their pet. They feel like they need to feed them, let them out in the yard and give them a little love and that’s all. Well, there is a lot more to it then that.
New dog owners many times have one main complaint. Their new puppy is keeping them awake at night. Their solution is to put the puppy in the bed with them and off to sleep they go. First big mistake made as a new dog owner.
As we try and eliminate the problem of loosing our bed to the new dog, we are faced with another issue. The dog is not sleeping at night and spends it’s time roaming around whining, barking and keeping everyone awake. Everyone is crabby and the house is up in roars.
Putting your dog in a crate or moving his bed into your room can cure his fear of separation. Anxieties of being alone can also be cured by crating your dog with a bed in your bedroom or another family member’s room. Just knowing that someone is close is all they need.
Many dog trainers are big fans of crating your dog. From the get go, keeping your dog in a crate for sleeping or when you are away will give them a sense of security. Don’t feel bad when you crate your dog, you are really doing them a favor.
If you have a dog that you just can’t cure of the separation anxiety issues, some vets suggest getting the dog a friend. Getting another dog can give the anxious dog a companion and tends to help relieve the separation issues. They will play during the day while you are at work and tire themselves out.
Having a dog that is anxious and needy can also mean that they are not getting enough exercise. Exercising dogs, especially the hyper dog, is critical to a good night’s sleep. Work your dog’s exercise regime in with yours for a happier, tired dog.
Many people feel that since they have a nice big yard for the dog to run around, that they are getting their exercise. Actually the opposite happens. As you are working during the day, it’s more likely that your dog is laying in the sun or shade sleeping all day.
We can’t stress the importance of exercise enough. Dogs enjoy time with the family as well as the other dogs in the park. Getting out with your dog letting them visit with other dogs or just walking through the neighborhood is a great way to keep your dog happy.
