It’s Potty Time!
Or rather, potty training time. Many people prefer to do their Mini Husky puppy’s training on pee pads that can be purchased at pet stores. If you decide to do this, I suggest you purchase the tray that the pee pads can fit into as well. Without the tray to hold down the edges, most pups will think that it is just something to drag around and tear apart. You can also find pee pads that stick to the floor to help prevent the pup from dragging the pee pad around as a toy.
At night, if your Klee Kai puppy starts to cry, I suggest you don't get right up and take them outside. Doing so will ensure that your dog will learn that crying will make you get up. We suggest you sternly tell it to be quiet and wait, put your fingers through the gate so it can lick them and be reassured that you are nearby. Usually the pup will just lay down again and cuddle the fingers for a moment or two and fall back to sleep. If the dog continues to fuss, then it’s a good idea to get up and take it out to potty. As soon as it goes, praise it and put it right back to bed. No playing, no eating, and no treats for doing what they’re supposed to do.
We have found that without fail, every time one of them continues to fuss during the night, there is a potty related reason for it.
Almost always, your pup will go potty and think they are finished, but within a minute or two of running around they will go again. If you don't let them finish outside, then they will probably finish inside, because they really do have to go more.
Your Dog’s Stress
It is very likely that the transfer into a new home, with new people, and the stress of traveling will cause some loose stools for the first couple of days. This may also cause your Alaskan Klee Kai puppy to be more shy than they were when they left home. Be patient and do not discipline your new dog too much until the puppy adjusts to the new environment. On the other hand, don't wait too long to start training your dog, as we don't want the puppy to be training you instead of you training it.
Also, all dogs do carry some parasites, and even though your Mini Husky dog has been dewormed, it is possible that the stress can activate the parasites. It is also possible for the dog to be exposed to different things during their travel. It is suggested that in about a month or so, you have the stool sample checked by your vet to see if there is any additional treatment needed for parasites. After that, you should have a stool sample checked on the schedule given to you by your vet. Every area is different and treatment depends on the individual dog's symptoms, as well as on what is going on with other animals in your area.
