my puppy (8 weeks old) sleeps like a pig, he sleeps for like 3-5 hours straight and then wake up, eat, and do his business , we play w/ him for a little bit and then he gets tire and go back to sleep, can you guys tell me is this normal for puppies?
thank you, he looks so cute & innocent, doesn't he?!
btw, how come when i put a dog leash around his neck and try to walk him, he doesn't want to walk or follow me but when i take it off then he would wiggle his tail and follow happily. can you tell me what i need to do to get him use to the dog leash?
Keep it on him in the house at first, so he gets used to it. Then when he's on leash try to make him come to you with a treat in your hand and get him to follow the treat while you walk next to him. He should catch it pretty fast.
He's too young for a collar and leash. Get him used to a collar... ( I " undress" them at night ) and get a harness for walks.... safer for them ... make it fun time !!!
Very cute pup. I thought mine slept too much too, but I haven't had a young pup in a long time. My Jake is now 10 weeks old. He didn't seem to mind the collar too much. I used a light puppy leash outside when I walk him. At first I put it on him and let him pull the leash to get used to it. Now he doesn't mind the leash.
