Hi everyone,
My dog had her puppies on the 19th of June.
We set up the whelping box in a corner of the living room.
But three days after they were born, she started crying, especially at night. I tried sleeping on the sofa, but it didn't make any difference. The next day, I went back to sleep in my bedroom, but in the middle of the night, she started whimpering again, and then she actually brought the puppies into the bedroom to us...
I decided to move the whelping box into the bedroom to reassure her, thinking that perhaps the living room was too busy.
The problem is that the puppies are getting noisier and noisier, and my partner doesn't want them in the bedroom anymore. I've had to move them to another quiet room that doesn't get much foot traffic. But she's started crying all night again...
I really can't have her back in the bedroom, but if she keeps crying like this, my partner is going to end up putting them in a shed in the garden.
How can I calm her down and reassure her so that she accepts not being in the bedroom?
