 Need immediate advice
I adopted a 9 week old pup on Sunday. I have read all the information on crate and potty training; unfortunately my puppy is too young to read and none of the instructions are working. I am trying to emotionally prepare to return her to the breeder.
I have set up a crate, following all hints, and she screams all the time she's in there (actually, it's no so much screaming as the noise a rabid duck would make while attacking). I can't praise her when she's quiet because she never is; she's frantically trying to chew through the wire and flinging herself against the door.
Same at night; tried the crate, tried putting her in the bathroom with a pad and bed. She screams all night. I had to take a sleeping pill last night just to get a few hours sleep.
I obviously can't potty train her this way. I tried using pads and she won't stay still long enough.
I am a wreck and don't know what to do. |
