So, for the most part, Franklin is VERY well behaved. Actually, I think for a puppy, he's extremely well behaved.
He whines for about 5 minutes or so when we put him in his crate at night for bed, and then he just goes to sleep. He only sleeps for about 4 1/2 hours though.. is that normal? He wakes us up.. and we take him to the bathroom. He only goes on the potty pad in the bathroom about once a day when we actually take him in there. Then we take him downstairs and let him play in his ex-pen. When he's in the ex-pen, however, he almost NEVER misses. In fact, he's only barely missed pooping. He always gets in right while peeing. He barks occasionally but eventually stops. I take him the bathroom to potty at least every hour and he NEVER goes while I'm there. He only goes when he's in his ex-pen and I'm not around.
Sigh.. I get so frustrated. Am I doing something wrong?
I've never had a puppy before though, so I don't know what to compare it to. Sometimes I get a little frustrated, and I think.. I wonder what other people have/had to go through? So here I am.. wondering. What did your puppy do that made him/hard to live with? How bad were they then, and how good are they now? Obviously none of them are the "worst puppy ever" but was there a time that you felt like they were?
And, is Franklin indeed, well behaved?
