New Puppy seems miserable :( Yesterday I brought home my new yorkie puppy. We have waited weeks and did everything by the book but my little honey seems so miserable. She went for shots before she came home so I thought she was just lethargic but today she is still fearful and not playful at all. Everyone keeps saying how playful and busy they are but she's not like that at all. The breeder, unfortunately, did not teach the litter any potty manner and they would poop in their bedding. She did this last night in her crate here as well. I cleaned everything up but don't want her to think its ok to keep doing it. She won't pee or poop while sitting with me, in her bed, or on the sofa so that good. I may have just gotten to her too late last night but I am not sure. She peed today near her box, but not in it. Because of her size and the weather we decided to litter box train her. Any idea on how to encourage her to go in her box? She has peed in it once and I kept the pellets in there for her scent but everytime I sit her in there she just sits, whines or lays down. Also would love ideas on how to avoid her going in the crate. She doesn't like the crate, but she settles down after some complaining. I don't want to keep her confined in it at all times so I keep her real near and make her visit the box quite often. I just want her to be happy!
