Hi and welcome!
How old is Bear?
I find that a playpen is better than a crate because I put it beside my bed nd put my arm in it and touch the puppy until they fall asleep. If they wake during the night I put my arm back in and they go back to sleep.
I put a wee wee pad in one side and the bed and food and water dish in the other.
Up to 6 months of age a puppy has to go potty after they wake from a nap, after they eat, after they play and every hour usually otherwise. it is a lot of time to potty train one.
I also use belly bands on mine to save the carpets. They don't mind them and it really saves the carpet!
Good luck. |
