Pups Alone
While my fellow writers continue to shame me for my perennial love of the live-action talking animal film genre, I, time and time again, am proven right. People? This is one of those times. The trailer alone was a two minute jolly-filled, knee-slapping gas! Check out the poster, whether you are Home Alone or surrounded by your canine friends! Watch those pups kicking those crooks to the curb!
Wondering how to crate train a puppy, and how long you can leave your puppy alone in the crate? Professional dog trainer Shoshi Parks provides the full scoop on how to crate train a puppy, which you can read here.
How long can you leave your puppy alone with a chew toy? Well, double-check the type. Avoid leaving puppies alone with rawhide, bully sticks, or any chews that could break apart, as pieces can get lodged in their throat. Safe puppy distractions include the following:
If you leave your puppy alone for too long, no matter how many toys they have, they can get separation anxiety. A puppy definitely needs companionship, playtime, and pee and poop breaks during the workday, so be sure to plan for that.
Before leaving your puppy alone for any period of time, make sure your puppy gets a brisk walk or play session of at least 20 minutes. Then, add a midday romp (with you or a dog walker) to help break up the day.
Beyond the exercise a dog needs each day, mental activity is important to keep puppies healthy, happy, and well-behaved when you leave them alone. Puppies and young dogs need more enrichment than adults. Without it, they may become bored, and even destructive, when left alone.

Leaving your dog home can weigh heavy on the heart of a dog owner, especially if you are frequently gone for long amounts of time. How long can you leave a dog alone? The exact answer for your pup depends on many factors, including age, breed, and temperament, but Wagly Veterinary Hospital & Pet Campus wants to help you narrow down the window of how many hours a day you can safely leave your dog alone.
Age is one of the most important factors to consider when thinking about how long you can leave a dog home alone while at work or having fun. According to the American Kennel Club, puppies younger than 10 weeks cannot be left alone for more than an hour. From 3-6 months, they should not be left longer than their age in months (for example, 3-month-old puppies cannot be alone for longer than 3 hours).
Certain breeds that have more energy, like huskies or Australian shepherds, need a lot of exercise during the day, and leaving them alone for extended periods might lead to a meltdown that causes some serious destruction in your home. Dogs that have separation anxiety will need some human company more often than calm dogs that just relax until you come home at the end of the day. The best way to discern how long to leave your dog alone is to speak to your Wagly veterinarian.
If you see a seal pup on its own, leave it alone, keep yourself and others, including pets, at a safe distance, and call the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre at 604-258-SEAL (7325) or the Fisheries and Oceans Canada hotline at 1-800-465-4336.
The stern advice comes after an increase in strange and inappropriate human interference cases involving harbour seal pups this season, including a woman taking a pup and putting it in a bathtub and another feeding one a chicken drumstick.
The aquarium says it has witnessed or heard reports of increasingly inappropriate treatment of these pups: everything from feeding them smoked oysters and chicken drumsticks to simply placing them back into the water.
One woman brought a pup home and placed it in her bathtub before reporting it. In another instance, a man zipped two newborn pups inside a couch cushion case and drove them to the Rescue Centre in the backseat, right next to his dog.
Wolves live in family groups called packs. A pack is usually made up of a male parent, a female parent and their pups from the last few years. Usually, four to six pups are born together in a litter. The pups in alitter are called litter mates. Their first home is usually a den, which can be a small cave or a hole dug in the ground. It must be big enough to shelter the mother and pups from weather and protect the pups fromother animals that may want to hurt them. Packs sometimes use the same den for several years, or they may find a new den each year.
All the wolves in a pack help take care of the pups. When the pups are very small, other pack members bring food to the mother so she does not have to leave the den. When the pups are a little larger, pack members take turns bringing them food, playing with them and even baby-sitting. Once the pups are about eight weeks old, the adults leave the den and take the pups to a rendezvous site. In this open area, the wolves gather to sleep, play, eat and just hang out. Until the pups are old enough to go with the adults, they stay at the rendezvous site. Often, one of the adult wolves stays with the pups to watch over them.
Wolf pups love to play. The pups will play with each other and their older brothers and sisters, stalking and pouncing on each other. This type of play will help them all their lives, as it is practice for stalking and killing prey and learning the social interactions of the pack.
Canines experiencing separation-related issues can display anxious behaviors, such as excessive vocalizations (whining, barking, howling), pacing, destructive tendencies, chewing on walls or doors, or many other stress behaviors. It may be easy to see that there is stress occurring for your dog, but it can be a lot harder figuring out how to help them feel better when alone. Before going into what we should do, here are some common myths of separation anxiety in canines.
Otter 926 and Otter 929 were found stranded this year at beaches in California, according to a news release. The weeks-old pups were taken in by the Monterey Bay Aquarium after searches for their mothers were unsuccessful.
Otter 926 and Otter 929 will be taught critical life skills by caretakers to prepare them to care for pups. Mothers must teach their pups how to dive to forage food and how to groom their dense fur to survive Pacific Ocean temperatures, according to the Shedd.
There is no better feeling than bringing a new puppy home and knowing that you will give it the best care, attention and love. Soon, the two of you will form a bond like no other. Puppies are an absolute joy to have in your home. For working moms, the unfortunate part is that we cannot be with them 24/7 and that we have to leave them alone when we go to work. It is heartbreaking watching your little puppy stay behind with sad eyes as you leave. Fortunately, there are a few things we can do in order to train our pups to be left home alone without causing much distress. In fact, we can train our puppies to look forward to us leaving by putting a few, or all of the following measures in place.
When you bring your puppy home for the first time, try to schedule it over a weekend. The reason for this is to make sure that your puppy settles in well, and that you can start training him to be home alone at short intervals. Puppies need up to 18 hours of sleep per day, so leaving them alone for an hour or two at a time should not be too difficult. Avoid taking your puppy with you everywhere you go in the beginning, as tempting as it may be. If your puppy becomes your second little shadow, it could be the start of over-attachment, which is not always a good thing. If your puppy becomes over-attached to you, it could make it more difficult for him to be left alone and that can later develop into separation anxiety. Teach your puppy from the start that you are not always going to be by his side by leaving him alone at short intervals.
When you leave your puppy alone, make sure that he has something to do. Something fun of course! You can purchase some dog puzzle toys in order to keep him busy and stimulated. These toys most often dispense treats when rolled around or if a hatch is lifted. You can Google how to make your own DIY puzzle toys for your puppy as an alternative and inexpensive solution.
By following these simple strategies, your puppy should adjust to being left alone while you are at work in no time. These little bundles of joy are very adaptable and they mostly accept their daily routines without much fuss. As long as you make sure that your puppy has something to do, something to chew, and a comfy place to sleep, he should be happy to have the house all to himself.
Between the months of March and June, many young California sea lions, Northern elephant seals, and Harbor seal pups become stranded. It is not uncommon for young stranded animals to have multiple health problems such as malnutrition, pneumonia and parasitism. If untreated, malnutrition eventually leads to hypoglycemia, seizures, unconsciousness, and death. 041b061a72
