Being a responsible new dog owner is important to your dogs well being. Not only will you need to feed the dog, love the dog, and let him out to go to the potty, but he must have exercise. A dog without exercise is not a happy 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.
As we try and put the cute puppy that's growing and taking over the bed out of the bed and room, we are now faced with whining and scratching the door. Now another problem is created and no one in the house is sleeping. Well except your husband and kids because we know they can sleep through anything.
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.
As we mentioned above, crating a dog is a solution for sleeping problems. Dogs do feel safe when crated and you will be surprised how fast this works. Some owners feel bad for the dog, but don't.
If you have a dog that you just can't cure of the separation anxiety issues, some vets suggest getting the dog a friend. Getting another dog can give the anxious dog a companion and tends to help relieve the separation issues. They will play during the day while you are at work and tire themselves out.
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!
Remember, being a responsible pet owner includes exercising your dog. Dogs enjoy socializing and getting out as well as you do. Make it a family affair, you, the kids and the dogs, strolling through the neighborhood and the you can enjoy a good night sleep. - 31851
