Hello, I have a doubt: my dog is nearly 3 months, a maltese male. He´s clearly dominant, and i´m reading how to become the alpha dog. There you talk about adolescent puppies, and I wonder if the tips fit to little puppies too. Me and my husband are doctors, and we work out all day. 2 times a week the puppy stays with the housemaid, but the three other weekdays he spends morning and afternoon alone. He cries early in the morning and barks by 6:00, and does not stop like he uses to do when he cries other times in the day. He only stops when we get there (we go after 30 minutes of barking because of neighbors complaint). In the morning, especially, he runs a lot, barks, wants to bite and does not obey us. Can you help us? Thanks.

There's something you're missing. He is a 3 months old puppy, that is left all day long alone. He has nothing to do rather than sleeping most of the time, so he wakes early in the morning. He runs a lot because he is filled with energy he doesn't release during the day, he bites and getting out of control since he's so excited of seeing you, he just wants you to play with him, he needs to burn some energy. I truly understand him.

[B]That's not healthy.[/B] Not for him, and not for your relationship.
A puppy requires extra attention and an organized routine. This way you can direct him to grow to an happy and a calm dog.

I agree with Idan Kashi's comments however I understand that some people lead very busy lives and still want the companionship of a pet. I would suggest that both you and your husband put aside separate times during the day to play and walk your puppy, this way he gets maximal interaction with you both. I would also suggest finding a dog walker, or a friend to come and socialise with your puppy during the day, this way he won't get bored!

Good luck,

Becks

thank you...
I´m happy you understand our point...
the problem was our dog was still too young to leave the house, for he only had the thir vaccine dose yesterday and will be authorizedto leave the house only next week...we thought about hiring a dogwalker, but only now it´ll work for us.
we´re alternating times to play with him and he´s already calmer and seems happier...i´m sure it´ll work.

As a mother as well as an accountant, I have been concerned by the lack of financial education our children receive in school. Many of today's youth have credit cards before they leave high school, yet they have never had a course in money or how to invest it, let alone understand how compound interest works on credit cards. Simply put, without financial literacy and the knowledge of how money works, they are not prepared to face the world that awaits them, a world in which spending is emphasized over savings.When my oldest son became hopelessly in debt with his credit cards as a freshman in college, I not only helped him destroy the credit cards, but I also went in search of a program that would help me educate my children on financial matters.One day last year, my husband called me from his office. "I have someone I think you should meet," he said. "His name is Robert Kiyosaki. He's a businessman and investor, and he is here applying for a patent on an educational product. I think it's what you have been looking for."Just What I Was Looking ForMy husband, Mike, was so impressed with CASHFLOW, the new educational product that Robert Kiyosaki was developing, that he arranged for both of us to participate in a test of the prototype. Because it was an educational game, I also asked my 19-year-old daughter, who was a freshman at a local university, if she would like to take part, and she agreed."And you don't?" I asked."No, not really," said rich dad. "If you want to learn to work for money, then stay in school. That is a great place to learn to do that. But if you want to learn how to have money work for you, then I will teach you that [url=http://www.wow-power-leveling.es]wow power leveling[/url]. But only if you want to learn.""Wouldn't everyone want to learn that" I asked."No," said rich dad. "Simply because it's easier to learn to work for money, especially if fear is your primary emotion when the subject of money is discussed.[url=http://www.wowpl.es]wow gold[/url]""I don't understand," I said with a frown. buy wow gold for cheap ..."Don't worry about that for now. Just know that it's fear that keeps most people working at a job. The fear of not paying their bills.[url=http://www.wowpl.fr]wow gold[/url], The fear of being fired.[url=http://www.wowgoldvip.fr]wow gold[/url], The fear of not having enough money. The fear ofstarting over. That's the price of studying to learn a profession or trade, and then working for money. Most people become a slave to money... that is [url=http://www.igsstar.com]wow power leveling[/url] web page for cheap wow power leveling, and then get angry at their boss.""Learning to have money work for you is a completely different course of study?" I asked."Absolutely," rich dad answered, "absolutely."About fifteen people, broken into three groups, participated in the test.Mike was right. It was the educational product I had been looking for. But it had a twist: It looked like a colorful Monopoly board with a giant well-dressed rat in the middle. Unlike Monopoly, however, there were two tracks: one inside and one outside. The object of the game was to get out of the inside track-what Robert called the "Rat Race" and reach the outer track, or the "Fast Track." As Robert put it, the Fast Track simulates how rich people play in real life.Robert then defined the "Rat Race" for us.
