What is the best way or medication to get a 14 week old lab puppy to sleep more than 3 hours at a ti2007-11-25 2:52:00

she gets lots of play time and exercise.

Answers:

Please no medications. You dog is a lab, and needs tons of exercise and play, and believe me when you say you think shes getting plenty of exercise then because shes awake alot, Shes not getting enough. You need to tire her out. Then you need to give her a place to make her feel safe and ready to calm down and sleep. Probably somewhere its quiet and not high traffic. She needs a kennel or a room untill she learns when its rest time. Then gradually graduate her to your room or bed, or where ever it is that you want her to sleep. Shes a lab and a puppy, you are going to have a few sleepless nights untill she is an adult.

Exercise not meds.

why on earth would you want to drug your pup to sleep? you could potentially seriously harm her.

if you werent prepared for the hassle of a new pup, you shouldnt have gotten one.

Meds for dogs meds for kids..what is this world coming to. What you need to do is give this dog to someone that is willing to give he/she a good home. Some one that will go out and play and run with the puppy. Anyone who wants to drug a dog because he won't sleep doesn't need a puppy. It really saddens me to see this.

u should not be giving any kind of drug to a puppy and a dog for sleeping, maybe ur pup just does not want to sleep much. maybe he want to be with you instead of sleeping all the time and beside i have never seen a dog sleep over 3 hours. they will usually sleep for 2 to 3 hours than get up and do things than go back to sleep for a while.

First of all talk to your vet, they will have the best advice for you and to also make sure there is nothing medical going on. But here is some advice I have found that seem to have been the cause sometimes!
