Help with my new pitbull puppy? General Dog Discussions
I got my new puppy when he was 1 day away from turning 5 weeks. I know that it was way too early for him to be away from his mom and littermates, but the previous owner had to go to the hospital and couldn't take care of the puppies anymore. So my question is, my puppy whines a lot. Literally any time I'm not next to him, he whines. I know it's because he's still too young to be without his mother and is probably lonely, but how can I help him build confidence and understand he is still ok? If there isn't anything I can really do, how long will this behavior last?Also, what are some things I can do to get him to stop biting? He does it playfully, but it can hurt and I have a 10 month old son so even play biting really isn't an option.
