The reason we failed crate training 🫩

Ruger is the biggest cuddle bug and has been since night one. We’ve tried the kennel multiple times— increasing the amount of time he stays in it each night but he still cries. 😭 he’ll cry and scratch the bars until he’s let into bed to sleep like this. 🙃🫠

I’m not complaining. I love how cuddly he is.

How to bond with non-cuddler Tzu?

So I got my little pup 2 weeks ago. Now she is 13 weeks old. She comes from a wonderful breeder . There were 6 puppies in her litter. The puppies had many dogs around and get play time inside and outside daily. So its not matter of that.

Shes playful and smart. She gets excited in morning and when someone comes.

I can hold her and move around for maybe 5 minutes.

But she wont sit on lap. Ever :(

Even when shes super tired or sleepy. If I put her in lap or even beside me, she gets up and flops away. She never asks for pets. If I pet her she doesnt seem to like or dislike it.

Im struggling to bond with her. I feel like just a person to provide her food and play.

Anyone else's Tzu that dont know the concept of personal space?

This is how our 3 month old Tzu pup choose to go back to sleep this morning after I had let him out for his morning pee. On my pillow, right next to my head

How to help grieving pup

Our kelpie was killed infront of us today by a reckless driver, who was speeding all over the road and didnt stop; traumatising not only us, our son but also our 3 month old shihtzu wolfgang.

He has been timid and crying on and off all day, very clingy (dont get me wrong i love cuddles but he isn't wanting to be put down or taken outside to toilet)

Has anyone got advice on what i can do to help him?
