Finally brought the new girl home. She is 6 wks old. I know a little young but heres my question. The first night no problem. Take here out at 2am ok. Out at 5am no problem.Second night no problem. This morning put her back in the kennel and all she wants to do is whine. How long will this last? Any suggestions? Thanks!

When my lab was a puppy the first few nights that helped him sleep alittle longer at a time was putting a warm bottle of water in his kennel with him and I also heard and tried that if you put a clock that ticks in there kennel would help,and it did somewhat..my lab was also 6 wks old when we brought him home..didnt get much sleep but boy was he cute grin.gif

I keep a new puppy in bed with me, not only does this pre-empt the wining but it re-enforces the training that it received from its mother not to mess where it dens. Plus your house breaking is a lot easier because instead of getting up at intervals through the night the puppy will let you know when it’s time to go out. If done properly this will only last a week or less and then be able to stay the crate only to let you know it’s time to go out (I had my last pup house broke in a day and a half with this method).

When I brought my pup home (also at 6 weeks), I put a small radio in her kennel and covered it with a blanket. She whined for 3-4 days and that was it. It can last up to a week or more. Having the pup join you in bed works too but they take up way more covers when they're full grown. smile.gif

Just got mine at 7 weeks old. Put her in the kennel next to my bed and she whined for the first two nights. I then slept on the couch with the door facing me so she could see me and she stopped. After 2 nights, I went back to my bed and she has been quite ever since.

our last 'puppy' did the same thing. A radio playing very soft seemed to help. Started with her crate in the bedroom at night while getting her accustomed to the breezeway being 'her' place during the day (moving the crate there during the day) - worked great. At my house the rule that she's totally untouchable in there helped - 3 boys grabbing and dragging her around had her appreciating it quick. Also, tried to always tucker her out before crating her so she'd sleep like a log (for a couple hours at least)

Our latest 'dog' whined for a few days, finally quieted down through the night for a week, and then started up again during the wee hours. Slept real light and busted the boys all waking eachother up in the middle of the night and sneaking down to 'comfort' her - put em back in bed and explained it in the morning.

Start back at square one. tongue.gif

Most seem to quiet pretty quickly if they realize it's not gonna do them any good and they see the crate as a good place - I avoided crating her as any sort of punishment or when I was mad.

I think you only have a "warm heart" problem. Tough to hear them whine. I'd suggest putting her in her kennel to sleep when you're gone for timesduring the day or weekends (assuming you haven't done that). That way she gets used to her home without you around to have your heart strings tugged at. Within days she'll love her home even at night. We have a 16 month lab and she loves her kennel, took a few nights to get used to it but all of a sudden one day it was her favorite place to sleep. You could also feed her in there or give her some treats in there to associate it with good things, we also left the kennel door open in the mudroom so she could come and go during the day when we were around, she liked her little cave.

Like someone else already mentioned.. a tired puppy is a quiet puppy... when my pup was still a pup (he's now a year old, but still in the puppy stage) I made sure to try and wear him out before I put him in his kennel... take him for a walk, run around, etc and he'd usually sleep most of the way through the night.. eventually sleeping all night...

I think the whinning at night has got to be one of the worst parts of having a new puppy.. but the benefits far outweigh that grin.gif

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
