Welcome Patti,
I am a newbie as well and just brought home my yorkie on Monday. I also have an 11 year old as well.
My breeder also has been doing this for 30 years and she gave me some good advice.
Put his bead and wee wee pads in the crate with his food and water. Pick him up when he is not crying. I was advised not to let him pee outside until he gets his 3rd set of shots in Feb but I can take him out (Just not allowing him to walk on the ground.
Let me know if I can be of more help and CONGRATS!! |
