My puppy is screaming, still, is that normal?

16 Comments

I got her a couple of weeks ago. Love the little girl a great deal, but every once in a while she just starts screaming, and the uncomfortable part (besides the screaming) is that it sounds just like a human. Like SCARY like a human.
I've had a family member, in the past, she loved puppies, and the screaming sounds like her voice specifically. She is no longer with us. This puppy screams with her voice and keeps screaming for sometimes whole minutes. One time, I was trying to console the puppy and my watch had her screaming for over seven minutes. I love this puppy, but I can't think of my sister any more. The memory still hurts.

    If I heard a puppy screaming like a human I’d freak out.

    Yeah, like Rose is saying, it's probably the dog's breed. I had a Husky that would bark and scream for no reason at all. The dog was healthy and lived to be 17. XD

      I have read this several times for months, and I still don't understand what it means.

    What breed is this pupper? Some dogs are more vocal than others.

        French Bulldogs are known for their vocal nature. Go to YouTube, and watch some videos of Frenchies.

          My neighbors have three of those things. I don't know what they did to get the things to shut up but after several calls to animal control by some angry neighbor, they are mostly quiet.

          My uncle has a french bull dog, hes just hoping it dies one day. It has a shit ton of allergies and that's something I rather not have a dog have.

    Did you ever think this could be your sister reincarnated? She might be screaming because she's a dog, or because she can't tell you herself.

    Comforting a screaming puppy is reinforcing the behavior. The puppy thinks "I scream like this I get attention and cuddles!!! Im going to keep doing it"
    it's hard but you have to ignore the puppy when it screams. But give it lots of praise when it isn't screaming or being naughty. After a long while the puppy will stop.
    I learned this from a certified behavioural specialist.

    This has nothing to do with your deceased sister,so stop letting your imagination run wild and take the puppy to the vet to be checked out. If there's nothing wrong with her physically, you could take her to puppy training, specifically to teach her to be quiet rather than "screaming". Surely it's more like howling than screaming?

    If it is that severe and beyond crate training/ indications your puppy wants something, then there are other solutions. There are electric collars, and (my fav) high pitched feedback devices. These are cheap, and emit an uncomfortable high pitched noise that only dogs are capable of hearing. Give it a try!

      Shock collars are very harmful and have been known to burn dog's necks.
      I also don't reccomend high pitched devices because that's like someone playing a high tone really loud in your ear everytime you did something or said something somebody didn't like. It hurts basically.
      I don't exactly believe in crate training either. I want dogs to see their crate as a safe place they can lay down in. If it's used for discipline and for them to lay down in that's sending mixed messages and you won'tget anywhere really. It's really all down to simple things. A dog will do something over and over and over again if it gets your attention. Like screaming, she mentioned she tried comforting the puppy, that just tells the puppy "I can scream and I'll get attention, I'm going to continue when I want attention" when she should ignore that behavior or re direct the puppies attention so they stop doing it.
      Clicker training is a personal favorite of mine. They hear the click, re directs their focus because of the new unique sound, give them a treat, repeat. It's a really effective method of training.
      Edit: I learned this from a certified behavioural specialist
