As another said, I would move into your new place and get situated first... Potty training issues - YES! No doubt its not that easy, but if your consistant - you should have no problems... My lil one is 7 mo and shes pretty good at the potty training, she rarely has accidents... Barking - NO... I havent had any problems... she only barks when she needs me (we have two story and she sleeps downstairs).... Hope this helps
