How do you handle an attention-seeking puppy?

I don’t believe in penning dogs, and she has far more toys than she knows what to do with. It’s not because she’s bored … it’s because she’s needy :)

O…kaay. . Well then make her doggie bed under ur feet! :D She wants to be close to u and u want her out of ur lap! :DD That’s all I can possibly come up with 4 right now… If I have any more ideas I’ll let u know. :)

Wait so u don’t put ur puppy in a babies play pin? Didn’t u put ur own KID in it b4? o.0

No … none of my kids were ever put in a play pen.

Wow. Okay then. :D

I hope it works out! ;D

I found that crate training a puppy can help with that

It’s like that whole “bad behaviour gains attention” issue lol, yes… so don’t give her attention. No matter how cute she is and how much you want to laugh. And honestly, you could probably try to punish her (I find time outs quite effective with my cat). But why not just not reward her instead? She’ll stop eventually. You just need to be consistent in ignoring the behavior. She’s also a baby. They grow out of some of it eventually. And unless the table is somewhere she really shouldn’t be (like a kitchen table). Just ignore her. She’ll get down eventually.

I don’t believe in crating … I see no reason to lock a puppy in a box just to keep her quiet.

I don’t mean keep the puppy in thr all the time, but when they get like that its sort of a punishment, like puttin a child in timeout

i would give her toys to play with and pet her when she comes pestering. she’s still young and rambunctious. with any luck she will calm down. i would slowly teach her to play on her own and to entertain herself. my dog used to do that and now she is content as long as she’s in a room where someone is and sleeps alot =)

IGNORE it. :) hehe.

IGNORE it. :) hehe.

thats what i did, then she stopped being so stuck up my butt, she would be under my feet all the time, then she finally learned i’m not going anywhere and just sleeps all the time haha

well why don’t you just put her out side so she run around and have fun while you work and once your finished you can let her back in. you have to teach her she cant always have your attention 24/7 its ok to give her some attention but at the same time show her who the boss is you not her
