Help with my new pup
I got a new puppy 2 weeks ago, now he is 10 weeks old. But in 2 weeks I'd like to go away for the weekend, and I'd like to know what you all thought of that, would be ok for my pup?

Re: Help with my new pup
What exactly are you planning to do with the pup? Are you crate training him to teach him not to pee in the house, or is he an outside dog?

Sorry about not enough info. He is being crate trained and some family will be with him the whole time, but I was told the person who will be hunting with him (me), should be with him as much as possible and wasn't sure if that would be to long.

Sure you can go away for the weekend. No problem for pup.

Re: Help with my new pup
When any human or animal becomes emotionally attached to just one individual is when we run into separation anxiety which is nothing more than a security problem with the individual. It relates to the situation where they feel the need for you to be there for them to survive. That's why we try to get our children and our pups socialized so they are not directly subordinate or dependent on anyone for their survival.<em>ezzy333</em> wrote:Actually will be good for the pup and help with insecurity problems laterFrank wrote:Sorry about not enough info.

Exactly. Well said.
Re: Help with my new pup
Ok, thanks, this is my first hunting dog (he's a drahthaar) and wasn't sure. That makes me feel better.
Re: Help with my new pup
Speaking from personal experience, I work from home. My dog was with me all the time. He took a long time to stop peeing his crate. He would also wine at the door for hours when I would leave.cjhills wrote:Why would he have insecurity problems later and hw would this help......Cj
If I didn't live in an apartment at the time, I would have made a point to crate him outside where i couldn't hear him for a few hours every day, and left him with people for the weekend.
