It's normal for your puppy to feel homesick for its litter mates.
It is perfectly normal for your happy-go-lucky puppy to become lethargic and withdrawn after you bring it home for the first time. These are common symptoms of homesickness in your puppy, which misses its mother and litter mates. This homesickness will usually pass on its own within a few days to a week, but there are ways that you can accommodate your homesick puppy and make it more comfortable in its new environment.
Instructions
1. Allow your puppy to explore its new environment.
2. Create a comfortable sleeping area for your new pup.
3. Keep your puppy in a room away from other household pets.
4. Fill a jug with hot water and wrap it in a towel. Place it in your puppy's bed. It will curl up with the jug as if it were its mother.
5. Place a wind-up clock under a pillow in your dog's bed. The ticking will remind it of its mother's and litter mates' heartbeats.
