What conditions affect the sleep of domesticated puppies?

Tickling affects older dogs more than puppies, because puppies sleep a lot. I have don't this experiment with my dogs. The older dog is more affected by tickling or other noises and feelings than the puppy is.


Should your puppy sleep in your bed?

In the dog world, the "alpha" sleeps higher than the rest of the pack, so it is important that the puppy be taught its place in the family and never be allowed on the bed or other furniture. If the puppy is already used to getting on the bed, temporarily place the puppy's bed in a small room or closet where it will have no choice but to sleep on that bed. (You might have to put up with some crying for a night or two.) Once the puppy is used to sleeping on its own bed, move it to where you want it permanently. Repeat the process, if necessary, until the puppy knows you are serious about it.

Why does your dog sleep so much?

Puppies are like human babies, they need to sleep constantly. I doubt you remember your infant years so ask your mother how much you slept as a baby, I'll bet you slept a lot. Assuming that you've had your puppy checked out by your vet when you first got him or her, your puppy probably sleeps a lot because she's a puppy.

Should I stop a puppy from biting an older dog if it doesn't bother the older dog eventhough it draws blood?

Absolutely, I would not let a bunch of kids loose in a nursing home to beat up old people, just isn't right. An older dog may put up with quite a bit from a puppy and not react. They also may get fed up and do some significant damage to the puppy if pushed too far. Most dogs will figure things out on their own. If you have a puppy antagonizing an older dog to the point it is drawing blood you are not doing either dog a favor. The puppy will not learn to stop when it has gone too far and the older dog will be stressed out. Correct the behavior whenever you see it in a firm voice and isolate the dog for a time. If you are not able to be with the dogs to supervise do not let them interact in case the behavior continues. Eventually the puppy will respect the older dog.

How do you introduce a new puppy to an older dog?

Make sure that your new puppy will be submissive to your three year old dog. Take them to neutural grounds (like a park or a common area) to meet for the first time. Put your puppy on its side or back, and have it submit to your older dog. Then walk the two together, your puppy behind your older dog. When you get home, your older dog gets to go in through the door before the puppy. Always be sure that your puppy is submissive to your older dog, and walk them everyday as a pack for them to bond. If your three year old dog is aggressive with other dogs or doesn't like to accept other humans and animals in the pack, then you should reconsider getting a puppy and consult a perfessional. *Slowly introduce them to each other. Never just put them in a room or yard together and leave them alone. The older dog may be territorial. Something that you may not be aware of until you try to introduce a new dog into it's territory. Slowly and patiently is what it will take.
