Dogs are people too! We have heard that before and you might not realize how true it can be. As a new dog owner, you might need to know that you have to do more then feed, water and pet the dog.
A lot of new dog owners complain about their puppies or dog keeping them awake at night. As puppies they are so cute and we make the mistake of letting them sleep in our beds. Then as they get older, they either become too big or they just become bed hogs.
The trouble begins as owners try and put the dog out of the bed and the room. The barking, they roam the house whining or scratching at the door and now you've created a monster. Before you know it, no one in the house is sleeping so now what do you do?
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 room and can provide a good home for another dog, some pet owner's opt to get a friend for their restless pups. Adoption is always a good thing when you can provide a great home for an abandoned dog. The dogs will tire themselves out playing during the day and help everyone sleep at night.
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.
As pet owners we need to be responsible for taking out dogs out for walks. Just because there is a yard for them to run free does not mean they are getting exercise. Running with your dogs or playing with them in a park or the yard is a good way to get them tired enough to sleep at night!
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. - 29953
