Why is my new puppy hiding in his kennel on the first day?

Poor little thing. It can take some time for dogs that are scared and poorly socialized to adjust. I find that it can be a big help and confidence booster for them to see you interact with another dog. Sometimes they can also relate better to having another dog around. That being said, this should be a calm, easy going and non threatening dog to her. Perhaps an adult sweet friendly dog that is a similar size. It is important for her to eat and drink, so you may have to put those things in her kennel where she feels safe for now. Continue to be patient, talk in a calm and gentle voice and she will eventually learn to trust you. She lacks confidence right now and that does not come overnight, I would consider having her interact with you and another dog if it is the right dog.

You only got Telakora today, so patience is key. It will take time for her to adjust and become comfortable. Give her space, and when she comes out, softly praise her and offer her a treat. When she approaches you, again softly praise her and give her a treat. Do not force her to come out of the kennel. Over time, she hopefully should learn to love and trust.

Best let her settle in. Imagine going to a new place that smells different, has different sounds, without mommy aand the siblings. This is terribly scary. So best let her hide, put food and water in the bedroom where she is. She will likely come out at night to eat and drink and go to the litter box. She will get more courageous every day. If you manage to catch her outside of the hiding place after a few days, you can try to pick her up and hold her quietly and pet her provided she does not panic. But time will help...over time she will feel secure and come to you. Talk to her when you enter the room, Say her name and don't make scary noises. She will get used to you not being someone who wants to eat her.. Time and patience.

If he feels safe and secure under the desk i would allow him in there for now and work hard on socializing him so that he does not feel the need to use it. Banishing him from his secure area will likely heighten his anxiety at this early stage. Consider pheromone products, calming diets or supplements

Dogs can be really nervous about kennels. I have always found that if you put familiar blankets in, and even climb in yourself and sit with the dog for a while, they realise that it is safe. He should come round to it with time, just don't force him into it as he will be scared.

I would recommend giving him something to keep him busy. Kong toys with peanut butter frozen inside can keep dogs quite busy for a while. I would try this. You can also try the Adaptil products, which are pheromone products designed to help calm dogs down. Make sure he has plenty of toys and treats in his kennel to keep him busy. You can even turn the radio on or tv on for him while you are downstairs for noise and see if that helps.

It sounds like Carti is pretty afraid! I would give him a few days to relax, and maybe offer a warm blanket or water bottle wrapped in a blanket for comfort. If he is incredibly fearful or showing any signs of illness, an exam to rule out any health issues is also a good idea. If he remains fearful, and checks out healthy, a good next step would be to talk to a trainer or behaviorist in person, as this is not normal for a young puppy to experience 24/7. They can work with you on a plan to help acclimate Carti to his new conditions and address his fearful behavior. In the meantime, quietly talking to him, tossing a favorite treat whenever you approach, and giving him a chance to start exploring on his own may help.
