When we got Dakota, I started waking up early before work, and staying up later than normal as well. Lost lots of sleep. But that's what's involved with a puppy. If your pup is whining, and you're going out, be he's not doing his business, he's learning that if he whines you will take him out. So get as familiar as you can with his schedule, and never take him out of his crate while he's whining.
I am doomed...
I am so mad about my puppy waking me up so early for peeing. Every day we go out many times, 9,13,17.30,22,01 but yesterday we went out except at 01 in the morning. So at 22 I put her back to her box and I tried to sleep. She woke me up at 6in the morning and I let her pee in the balkony, couldnt really move or walk outside... so after that I sent her back to the box and she kept on whining and I thought she needs to poop... I am going down with her on the street to let her have her needs... but no.. we were just walking around for 20 min :ranting2: I got so f*****g mad...... I cant enjoy sleep at all.... every f*&§$%!§""g day something goes wrong and I cant enjoy deep sleep and the rest of the day I am like a zombie grrrrr now is 6:57 I will try to sleep and she is going to wake me up at 9 for sure , this is when she is "usually" pooing.... and I get mad and don't wanna transfer this feelings to the dog, but I get so mad if something wakes me up for no reason and especially the whining of the dog ITS ANNOYING in the morning.... should I buy earplugs and let the dog swim in her box with pee and poo or get my nerv system damaged over time? or what else can I do with her needs.. she is 4 months old.... my sleep needs are at least 8 hours / day to be ok during the day. thanks for reading....

Yea, it's the same way everyone feels that brings home a puppy lol. I would also not recommend sending your dog out for training, Adara was right when she said you need the training just as much as the dog.So you know how it feels! LOL! In 7 weeks the trainer will take care of her. Because he is far from my house I have to leave her there so I am going to visit her twice or three times a week. He told me the dog will be a soldier without damaged personality and when I get her back she is gonna be perfekt in the house. So it is not going to last for long this wake up thing, I just don't wanna transfer stress to the dog
100%, it is time for a new trainer. If you are relaying the info propperly, this trainer has no clue. Also, are you cooking the vegetables? You're going to do no training for the next 7 weeks? This is one of the most crucial times for you to be training regularly...The breeder who also has the training club specialized only on dobermans, told me to socialize my dog, give her hugs and make sure she sleeps a lot. Her diet is good with vegetables, chicken breast, fish, purina pro plan for sport type puppies, eggs, milk for dogs, etc...
I don't have to train my puppy cause she knows me very well eventhough I have her only since one week. She understands everything and the trainer already knows... so he told me to stop giving her commands or teach her cause mistakes will take time to correct.
Although my puppy has red pedigree with no genetic issues regarding displasia, he told me no to train her. Just pee & poo , 15 playtime at home and thats all for the next 7 weeks. Socializing is hard cause everyone is afraid of her on the street so people don't approach ... only the neighbors I force them to touch her lol... so I go near a supermarket I stand there for 15 minutes people are passing around and she is spectating... this is the most I can do now... oh and only dogs are approaching, big and wild ones too, she is really calm for her size and maturity.
This is also pretty bad advice unfortunately... While you want your dog to get used to the crate, leaving your pup in there for extended amounts of time is no good. Your dog needs to be exercised, trained, and needs lots of mental and physical stimulation every day. If you continue doing this, along with no training for the next 7 weeks, you're almost guaranteed to have a problem dog. Not trying to give you a hard time, but I would find some new people to get your info from.Agree. She did her pee only the her first night in the crate after that either outside of the house or in a balkony if not possible to go downstairs. I don't have any problems going out with my dobie , I actually like it. During the day I can handle anything if I get a proper sleep. Also my breeder told me I have to let my puppy inside the crate all the time cause her bones are soft so lot of excercise and games can cause displasia and because she is young she must sleep a lot, puppies grow up while sleeping. So every walk is 10 - 15 min maximum we can play for 10 min after the walk at home and then back to the crate.
Today I will feed her for last time at 17:00 and then at 23 or 24:00 will be the last walk outside. I need the key to 8hours sleep...
It's bad because you're completely skipping over a time when your dog is going to soak things up like a sponge. If you wait until 6 months to start training, it's going to be more problematic than helpful. Training provides structure, obedience, and an outlet for your dogs energy, as well as a way to stimulate him mentally. This is not something you want to wait until your dog is 6 months for. You should start training right away. I would find a different trainer to help you.I am confused cause of many opinions. But as for the training, why is bad to start training the dog when its 6 month old?
Wait, so you read a breeders website, and that makes you a pro now?So you disagree with this website. I will find you another. But if you think the american is the same in character as the european, you need to do some research on that. But now I am on chill mood so I am not gonna defeat internet to find you another source.
