Puppy problems

[Totallyfloaty35]

My lovely boy Lab who is 13wks old looked like he was getting the housetraining thing at last,but today he has done 7wees inside.Mostly when he has already just been outside and peed.He goes on the command "be clean" and is pretty good at squezing one out.
I think as we have spent so much time with him to ensure we get his signals for toileting (and the fact that he chews everything in sight) he is not used to being alone now and if left,even for a second howls and pees.Leaving him in the kitchen while we have dinner results in non stop barking and several wees.
He sleeps in the crate in our room as we couldnt take the endless barking when he was crated downstairs.He sleeps well from 11pm-7 usually.I just need some help with his seperation anxiety please [ begging face]

Anyone?

Start leaving him in crate when you are out of house.
Leave a well stuffed kong/bone/pigs ear type chew toy to teach him to relax and distract him
the fact his howling got you to move him has reinforced that is how to get what he wants.
Try 30 mins at first 2-3 x day

the weeing make him stay out longer?

I would put him in the crate all the time that he's not supervised so he gets used to being on his own without peeing. I'd probably also put the crate downstairs and wear earplugs until he gave up howling, but I realise I'm saying that without having had to live through the all-night barking.

Thank you for your OP though, you are making me feel much better about the behavious of my own 13 week terror treasure

It may be an age thing? My pup is also 13 weeks old and although he wees outside on command all of the time, he is also known to wee in the house too. When confined to one room, he always goes on paper. When he is left to roam several rooms, its pot luck if its on paper.

No advice on dealing with it I'm afraid, just wanted to let you know you are not alone!

Thanks.Am considering moving his crate back downstairs.He drives the Chis mad too though,he jumps all over them and when he barks they howl!
We leave him alone in the kitchen with the other dogs but he goes crazy,scrabbling at the door,peeing,howling.He didnt pee in the house at all for 3 days but today he is like a tap my garden looks like the moon,its white and pitted with massive holes and he has eaten nearly all my plants,well he doesnt eat them,he sort of breaks them off an spits them out,he ate through a 10yr old clematis stem today,its inchs thick,he must have been working on it for days
Rant over, i love him to bits,he is funny and has stopped nipping so much,he does think he's a Chihuahua and keeps trying to sit on my lap or fit through tiny spaces like the others can,he is forever having to be rescued

Puppies are so funny.

My pup has discovered today that he can finally climb up on to the settee. I don't mind him sitting on them as they are leather so can easily be wiped. He listens (most of the time) when he is told to get down.
We have been putting anything that he fancies nibbling on, up on the settee (usually shoes). That isn't going to work anymore!

Totally - Clematis is poisonous to dogs. Did he eat any?

No,he tears off my branches/plants and spits them out then gallops round the garden and digs another hole.Or he sits on my plants til they are flat then digs them up, charges around,digs another hole and so it goes on.
He is supervised in the garden,all the neighbours must hear is resounding cries of"Basil,NO, Basil drop it" or "Basil look a treat,a treat ,oy drop it,NO, eat the ruddy treat instead or play with your exciting toy you pain in the bum"

lol, sounds similar to my house at times!

I always think that it takes a pup to be at least 16 wks to even start to get wees and poos...
By 20 wks things will get alot easier - they just need to grow up.
We have 2 8-wk olds and, like children, their training is hit, miss and lucky accident (of course this weather helps with instant puddles outside)...

"He drives the Chis mad too though,he jumps all over them and when he barks they howl!" Eh?

Chihuahuas, MistleSnail.He jumps on them.

Ah sorry Totally...

...thought it might have been short for Children and was a tad perplexed by the 'howling' comment .

The kids used to howl when we first got him to,he was always nipping them.

Bella, are acorns poisonous to dogs?

Yes, they are. Like many poisons (e.g. onions, raisins) the dog may show no outward signs, but the damage is being done within.

Oh, think he has eaten quite a lot as have a massive oak tree in our garden. Should I do anything about it?

Yes - call your vet.

Hope he's okay x

I think he's OK. It was before the snow really, and he hasn't had any symptoms. I will rake up when it thaws though (still falling at the mo).

You wouldn't necessarily see any symptoms but if you tell your vet they may want to run blood tests to check his kidney function.

The vet said "well if you've got a great big oak tree in the middle of your garden there's not much you can do about your dog eating acorns, is there".
