Prvi meseci sa novim štenetom često znače i brojne neprospavane noći. Dok se navikava na novu sredinu, mali pas može da cvili, laje ili traži pažnju, baš kao beba koja se prilagođava svom ritmu spavanja. Ipak, uz doslednu rutinu i razumevanje njegovih potreba, moguće je da i vaš ljubimac nauči da mirno prespava celu noć. Jedna vlasnica koker španijela podelila je svoju proverenu metodu, zahvaljujući kojoj njeno štene Popi sada spava od 20 časova uveče do 8 ujutro, bez buđenja i nemira.
- Prvih nekoliko nedelja činilo se kao da neprospavanim noćima nema kraja, ali sada sam presrećna što znam da je zadovoljna u svom malom krevetu. Kada sam shvatila da štenci imaju probleme sa spavanjem kao i mala deca, sve mi je postalo jasno. Popi je bila razdražljiva jer je bila umorna. Sada to prepoznajem, stavljam je na spavanje i treniram je da bolje spava - otrkila je njena vlasnica.
Dodala je da nije jednostavno pustila štene da cvili u kavezu, već je koristila konkretne tehnike koje su dale rezultat. Jedan od najvažnijih koraka bio je raniji odlazak na spavanje.
@growingwith.poppy Yes my 4 month old puppy sleeps through the night and has been for a while now! An No I didn’t let her just cry it out in the crate 🫣🥲 The first few weeks felt like the sleepless nights were a forever thing but I’m so so grateful to know she’s happy in her little bed🥹 Here are the things that worked for us: 1. When I realised that puppies fight sleep just like toddlers, it made everything click! Those crazy hours weren’t ‘just something that puppies do’ she was doing that and being so bitey because she was tired! And now I can recognise that, I put her to bed and train her to sleep better. 2. Keeping them up later doesn’t make them stay in longer in the morning! Actually the opposite. I used to keep her up till 10pm thinking she’d get up later in the morning… it was only when I started putting her down at 8pm that she slept longer. 3. Training her bladder from a young age. From day 1, I used to take her out with me in a sling. And within the second month we could easily go 4 hours without her needing potty which really helped with through the night bladder training. 4. Cover the crate! She did used to whine for about 15 mins but I stayed by the side of the crate and offered my hand to the crate if she didn’t stop after 15 mins. I got used to her cries very quickly so I knew what was distress or just attention seeking. Of course if she would cry through the night I would take her straight out to potty and straight back to bed. 5. Make the crate cosy and only big enough for a bed. I’ve mentioned this before but having a large crate with water bowls and extra room in there just didn’t work for Poppy. She would mess every time. I swapped it for a smaller crate and a bed that fits perfectly and has never messed in the crate again. 6. No water an hour before bed. Non negotiable. 7. We used to cuddle on the bed before bedtime or in the morning but wish we’d never started this because it just made her want to be with us more. Now we don’t have her on the bed at all and take her to the sofa for cuddles! This way we all get a good nights sleep. 8. Be patient, your puppy will get there and they will love to sleep! 9. Do what’s best for you! Growing up, our dogs always slept in the bed and just did whatever they wanted but I knew for my first pup in my first home I wanted to set a good sleeping routine. I’m hoping soon she will not need her crate and can just sleep in her bed on her own but this way I know she’s safe and clearly loves it. She now will take her self to bed and is super happy in the mornings 🥰🥹 #cratetraining #puppytraining #sleepypuppy #happypuppy ♬ Little Life - Robert Gromotka
- Držala sam je budnom do 22 časa misleći da će duže spavati ujutru, ali bilo je suprotno. Tek kada sam počela da je stavljam u krevet u 20 sati, spavala je duže. Sledeća tehnika je bio "trening bešike", koji je sam počela da sprovodim od prvog dana. U početku sam je iznosila napolje u nosiljci, a već u drugom mesecu mogla je da izdrži četiri sata bez potrebe za nuždom, što je mnogo pomoglo tokom noći - dodala je za dejli ekspres (Daily Express).
Preporučila je i da pas ne pije vodu sat vremena pre spavanja i da se kavez prekrije tkaninom.
- Pre je cvilela oko 15 minuta, ali ja bih ostajala kraj kaveza i pružila joj ruku. Naučila sam da razlikujem kada stvarno pati, a kada samo traži pažnju. Ako bi cvilela tokom noći, izvela bih je napolje, a zatim vratila u kavez - objašnjava vlasnica.
@growingwith.poppy The art of stopping when in crazy mode is a lesson not to be forgotten about with your pups! We all know how wild our pups are especially when they are teething, but being able to control their on/off switch is a must. Building this up to a verbal command only will really help to keep composure in environments that I need Poppy calm in. The best takeaway from this when training your pups is to give them time and space to figure things out. They are so clever! Give them the credit they deserve in letting them choose their actions based on what’s working and what isn’t when getting your attention. Try this out with your pups and let me know how it goes…. Just watch for the sneak attacks 🫣😅 #poppy #dogtraining #puppy #landshark #crazypuppy ♬ original sound - growingwith.poppy
Kavez, kaže, mora da bude udoban i taman toliko veliki da stane u njega krevetić.
- Veliki kavez sa činijom za vodu i dodatnim prostorom nije joj odgovarao. Kada sam uzela manji, više nikada nije napravila nered unutra - dodala je.
Iako je priznala da je teško odoleti maženju, savetuje da se sa štenetom ne spava u istom krevetu.
- Pre smo je mazili pre spavanja, ali to ju je samo više vezivalo za nas. Sada se mazi na kauču i svi lepo spavamo - rekla je.
Na kraju je poručila vlasnicima da budu strpljivi.
- Radite ono što je najbolje za vas. Naši porodični psi uvek su spavali sa nama, ali za svoje prvo štene želela sam da uspostavim rutinu. Nadam se da će uskoro moći da spava sama, ali sada znam da je bezbedna i srećna - objasnila je vlasnica.
