Congrats on your new baby. Welcome to YT!
Your pup is very small and very young. Make sure she is eating at regular intervals in order to avoid hypoglycemia. If she seems unusually tired and kind of limpish get the nubracal in her right away. She needs to be checked on a regular basis. Hypoglycemia can come on quickly.
You are create training.....does she have food and water with her at all times? A pup that age needs to have food and water available. Personally, I would not crate train a puppy that young unless someone was right there to take her out regularly. They cannot hold back urine or poo at that age so if she does not get out when she needs to she will learn to potty in the create.
I agree that training is really important but you can't do a lot of extensive obedience training on a baby. She is an infant and should not go out in public since she has not had all her shots yet. Sounds like she is quite cooperative for you but things often change as they adjust to their new home.
There is a lot of important info here in the "sticky" areas at the top of each forum. Learn as much as you can. There are lots of different methods of training out there but positive reinforcement plus lots of exercise usually works the best. |
