I feel like my puppy hates me

I’ve had my puppy for a month now she currently 14 weeks old and I feel like she does not like me

I make sure she has everything she needs I train her, play with her, try to be fun and interesting but i don’t think she likes me, I feel like she just tolerates me because I feed her

When I haven’t seen her for a while she does get excited but when I sit down or start to play with her she just does her own thing, which is great bc I don’t want her to become really anxious when I leave to do things but at the same time I feel like she loves being around my other family members so much more

It’s just really upsetting as I love her so much and I want to be her favourite person but I don’t know how I can do that for her

I know she’s a puppy still and a bond takes time , but i feel like the bad guy when I’m disciplining her not because I do it a mean way it’s just I say “no” to her and take anything away anything which she’s not ment to have bc no one else in my family does and now she never wants to be near me every time i go near her or give her a toy she will sit away from me and sometimes not on my bed anymore ( i have stairs so she can get on my bed )

I’ve been trying to hand feed her near me and treat her when she sat on my lap but I don’t know if it’s helping much

I feel so confused as I keep comparing me and my puppy to me and my sisters and her puppy loves her and sits of her laps,
Plays with her and her puppy even gets excited to see me and sit on my laps

I know puppy’s are all different but I wish she could be a bit more cuddly or even give me a bit more attention

Leaving my puppy for 3 weeks

My puppy Is 3 months old and my mum has said she will be able to look after her while I’m away on a work trip , I’m really worried about leaving her for so long and what will happen with our bond since 3 weeks will be such a big time in her development and I feel like she doesn’t really like me that much anyway and I’m scared to come back and she prefers my mum over me which seem selfish, but it’s the truth

Is there any advice you can give for helping us build a better connection together or is it just her being a puppy and will me leaving effect our relationship

Puppy bitting, blood drawn

So my puppy has been biting like all puppies do and most of the time I’ll just stop completely interacting with the puppy and when they stop calm down I’ll get a toy and shake it about so she goes to the toys instead, that’s been most of the time working

But tonight I was trying to get her calmed down bc she’s was clearly very over tired, sometimes I usually pick her up and she clams down and I did that and she started biting me and when I put her down she carried on a drew blood

But im noticing that she’s started biting me when she doesn’t want me to do thing so i dont know if im enforcing that, like brushing her coat and putting her in her crate

Im just getting worried that im doing something wrong and i dont want to teach her biting like that is okay, especially my young cousin come round to play with her sometimes and i would hate for them to get hurt

Do you guys think shes could be getting aggressive and i need to get a trainer involved

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Shall I rehome my puppy?

I have so many mixed feelings right now about my puppy and I don’t know what to do, she’s 10 weeks old I’ve had her for nearly 2 weeks which I know isn’t a long time, but I have had this feeling inside that she’s not the right puppy for me.

I knew it was going to be a lot looking after her and I was prepared for the challenge and time having a puppy would be in my life, when I first got her it was very challenging, she had diarrhoea everywhere and did it 3 times in her crate in the middle of the night which she decided to roll in everything time , she wouldn’t stop barking and introducing her to my sisters puppy didn’t not start off well As well as seeming like she had some aggressive tendencies and other things but obviously I know she’s a puppy but I can tell looking back when I got her the breeder seemed a bit dodgy so I have no idea what background she had

But I’ve worked really hard on her training and she’s so much better now, she’s stopped barking, using the puppy pads almost perfectly, learning so many new tricks, we introduced her to my sisters puppy and they were playing great together, she so lovely, cute and I do like her, but I feel inside that she’s not right for me and I don’t really feel like I look at her and love her so much like I feel I’m ment too

I feel so guilty and awful for feeling this way, I can’t stop thinking about it, I keep crying bc I don’t know what to do?

When my sister got her puppy I loved him instantly and still do and even tho it wasn’t even mine but with my puppy I don’t feel like this at all and I just feel like I’m being so selfish keeping her as this is her life as well as mine and i would rather her be with someone who will love and give all there time to her more than I could but on the other hand I would hate for me to give her to someone who then uses her to breed and not give her the life she deserves as that would truly hurt me more

Puppy introduction gone wrong, any tips

Me and my sister have both got puppies and I’d love to know what the best way to introduced them would be

my sisters has been with us nearly a month and is nearly 14 weeks old and a male cross between a miniature pom x pug weighing 990g and mine has been with us a week and is 9 weeks old and is a female pomapoo weighing 1.18kg

My sister did get a bit ahead of herself and thought it was a good idea to introduce her puppy to mine, which resulted in her puppy getting frightened shaking sitting on her lap and mine was playing at the start but then started to get a bit aggressive (slightly growling with lips curled and then going to bite) lucky none of the puppies or us got injured, I was able to pick her up and take her back to her space.

We haven’t put them together since as I’m worried my puppy is getting to overstimulated by this interaction and then end up hurting my sisters puppy

Also I know that it was all a bad idea should have listened to my gut feeling when she wanted to do it, I’m worried that this has effected the next time they meet as well or scared them both

If there’s any tips or what to do next time I would really appreciate it thankyou !!!

Puppy keeps barking! Idk what she wants or how to stop it

My puppy 9 weeks and is a female pompoo won’t stop barking!

I’ve tried giving her food, playing with her, teaching her quiet, giving her fresh food and water but it feels like it’s non stop, I’ve had her for just over a week so i know it’s not been long since I’ve had her and shes been treated for worms recently which could be effecting her but I don’t think it is since when she came to us she was barking a fair bit but after a few days she stopped/ didn’t bark much.

I don’t know if I’ve been training her too much to a point she’s only interested in treats as she doesn’t seem to be into her food, when I put it in the bowl she doesn’t seem to be interested she tends to sniff at it and take one or try it and drop the kibble out of her mouth, I have been trying to hand feed her the kibble and she seems to eat more of it when I do that

If anyone has any tips to help with this barking I would really appreciate it! Thankyou
