When I get new puppy Harry, I cant crate him as somedays I would be working for 6hours and
Wouldn’t get home. So I will have to have them separated at night for a while till harry is bigger?
Or what do you all suggest? Its only been over a yr since I had a puppy, and I am starting to
Get very nervous about what to do, how to cope etc.. I am sure it’s the same with all "new borns"!!!
I would not leave the new puppy un-attended with Sammy. It literally takes seconds for something bad to happen and although Sammy is yours and you trust him, you don't know for sure what can happen. It's better to be safe than sorry. Plus, that will help the puppy bond closer to you than to Sammy. Dog's who are always alone with each other tend to bond to each other more than their owner. Good luck.Do you think Sammy wil be ok with new puppy. Harry will be 9wks when we bring him home?
Definitely start crating the pup when you get him. It helps you build a family structure and teaches him, you are the leader of the house. Trust me, it will make good manner training easier and control any behavioral issues that tend to happen. Not to mention, house training will be so much easier.
Hi Alex...
How long can you leave the puppy in crate before he needs to pee etc?
As i will be out of the house for up to 6hours etc.. should I only crate when I am home? any advice welcome???
