Thanks michellem. And of course 11 week old puppies are supposed to be fun! I already do all that. I'm totally in love with my baby, he brings me so much joy when he's not being a terror. It's just I'm reading so many conflicting things. Like, lots of sites say to just ignore your dog when he's barking or whining so as he doesn't learn that this will get him what he wants Everytime, but when I pay him No mind he's rearranging his bed and tearing his potty pads. I definitely play with him Enough, maybe too much? He loves tug of war and well go at it for a good hour straight sometimes and he'll still want to keep going! I get tired before he does and if I don't wanna keep playing he throws tantrums lol. It's kinda funny to see something so tiny be so loud! I also take time throughout my day to teach him basic commands but he's a wild child! I learn a lot of tips and tricks through research and experience with him. I'm definitely going to have to get him a crate tho, and I've started restricting his access around the house a bit to avoid the headaches in the meantime |
