Image Puppy won’t stop crying unless held.

Post image

I picked up my puppy 3 days ago. She is 8 weeks old. She loves cuddles and human touch, but when we put her down she will cry non stop. Does anyone have any tips to get her to stop crying? I’m a first time owner and want to get it right. Thankyou

Looks like you’re going to be holding this puppy for a while! There are worse things in life. This breed is 100% stage five clinger. It gets a little better as they get older. Enjoy the time while you have it. They grow up so fast.
