Noisy pup

Sultan has really bonded with me, and i with him. Ive now had him for 24hrs. If i go into the kitchen, ( which i have blocked off), or i go to the toilet, peg washing out etc. He crys, and barks all the time. So far i have gone about what i have to do, and done and said nothing to him. Am i doing right.

In my opinion you're doing the right thing by going about your business and ignoring him. He has to learn that he can't have your attention all the time, and will soon get bored of crying and barking...

I'd continue coming and going as you have been, no fuss and if possible, don't return to Sultan, until he's quiet. When Stanley was a pup, I used to leave him in a room with the door closed, just for 15 seconds or so, then return to the room without fuss, do something like tidy a worktop, then leave the room for another 15 seconds, then come back. I'd do this repeatedly through the day, so he got to know that being left alone wasn't a big deal.

I know it is early days. But he is now only noisy when i go to bed,and therefore, i would think he is noisy when i go out. I don/t want to grate him, as he is doing so well with toilet training. Even though he was in disstress last night. ie, crying, and barking for about 1/2 an hour at a time. ( i did not go to him). He made it out to the pattio everytime, to wee and poo. Which for a 9 week old pup, i am very proud of him. I will continue to leave him. And hope he can settle soon, Im going to start maybe take my coffee into the bedroom through the day. maybe that will help
