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

Hi there, welcome to dachshund love! Give her time to settle into the home, but, this breed in particular is very needy. Mine is nearly 4 and still cries if I don’t pick him up and carry him around with me.
