Hi Mandy, welcome to YorkieTalk, and congratulations on your new pup. Having a new pup is such a joyful time, but also a little nervous as you are learning how to care for her, and adjusting to her schedule.
I also started out with each of mine sleeping in a playpen near my bed in the beginning, and an ex-pen in the family room during the day. I often wish I had done crate training, and think it would have resulted in better outdoor potty habits. Pads are convenient for many reasons, however in my case I do wish they would just hold it and go outside.
Do you have a name for your lil girl yet? Hope to see photos of her. |
