Such cute puppy!

And yes, from experience crate training works the best because they are safe and learn to let you know when they have to go to the bathroom vs. being out and about freely.

Really the crate is the best thing. It will also help with the potty training.

She is so cute, I’m not sure how you’re getting any writing done right now. Really sorry about the shoes and the broken dishes.

We had her in the crate last night as well and it was a DREAM. SB had the closet light angled so he could see her and she rested a lot better. She’s really learning to love her crate. She’ll hang out inside of it all the time. I think it helps that we feed her in there as well and everytime we tell her to go inside we give her an ice cube. Girl loves her ice cubes.

The crate will end up being best in the long run, unless you want her on your bed. Eventually you can even leave the door open and she will probably nap there(my dad’s lab does).

We have these cool pop-up vinyl crates we bought at Target (not expensive) for our 5 pound Yorkie and our 50 pound mixed breed (luckily they come in a variety of sizes). Great if you have to travel with your dog be/c they fold up very small. (We got them for huricane evacuation). Our dogs love them — we leave them open at home and they like to sleep in there. Not so good for penning up the Yorkie, however, because she learned how to unzip it.

Have fun with your pup!

I’m pro-crate, as well. We always treated Sonic’s crate like his own special place and never used it for punishment and he loved it. Now he’s a “big boy” and can be trusted free in the house, so we don’t use the crate anymore.

Go with the crate. We brought home our new labradoodle (Sirius) on Friday. He sleeps in his crate in our room and he snoozes all night long. We watch him when he is out of the crate, so far no loss of shoes or accidents. The almsot in-laws are over and Sirius is terrified of their two yorkies. He is 3 times their size.

I have heard that the books by the Dog Whisper and the Cesar’s Way book are really good. We are going to start puppy training classes on Friday at Pet Smart. They have a really good class.

Stick to the crate. It’s the best way, honestly.

And start watching Dog Whisperer on the Discovery Channel (you do have regular television now, right?) If not, read his book. He doesn’t deal with puppies a lot on the show, but he does talk about a lot of behaviors that if they hadn’t started so early, wouldn’t have been so hard to break.

And try and get a nap!

I’ll graciously help you with the no sleep thing–just give me the puppy. Problem solved!
