I've got my new puppy but she can't be alone. I tried to leave her in her own room for a night but she keeps on barking. I was told not to care about her but she turned out to be very aggresive the next morning.... I can't accompamy her 24 hours plus i can't let her go everywhere yet since she doesnt know where to go potty yet.... Can anyone advice me what to do? Should i leave her alone again until she gets used to it or i shouldn't?

    What do you mean by alone?
    It is going to take time for a puppy to adjust to a new home and be trained.
    I think leaving her completely alone might be too much right away.

    You might look up crate training and get a crate to help your dog feel more secure.

    I never did that as we did not leave our dogs home alone all day and didn't mind them sleeping with us.

    How much reading did you do before you got your puppy? How old is the puppy? If I had a new puppy I'd expect to stay home with the puppy for at least the first week. You are caring for a baby. Good news, puppies grow up quickly.

    Do you have a crate and toys for the puppy?

    Dogs are know to sleep in packs .
    Why can't you have her sleep with you .
    I don't mean in the bed but in a cage .
    Next to your bed ?

    A new dog in a new home. The aggression is because of fear. If you do it again she will become more territorial and fearful. The first year of a dog's life is very important. You are creating habits that will last for the entire lifetime of a dog. They don't like being cooped up in an apartment or house all day and all night long by themselves. If this isn't going to work out, no judgment, it would be better to give her to someone who can be home with her. Critters are very special. They need tender loving care. I feel sorry for cats that are declawed and kept inside of the house all of the days of their life. It's not natural to never experience the fresh air, kept in captivity. They become depressed.

    Dogs like sleeping close to their owners, especially puppies who are scared left alone, let it sleep close to your bed or in a crate if not potty trained,...they. should be taken outside about every 2 hours to use the bathroom, and in about 6 weeks they will be trained...hope this helps..
