I would be literally afraid of a puppy that young. They are so fragile and definitely needy. I got mine when she was much older and bigger, but I was still with her all the time. I often compare her to a human baby, and what would I expect from a baby at 7 weeks old? There is no way he/she could be "trained" that young..they are barely awake at that point. Young puppies require a pretty huge time commitment. I've had puppies before, but I even forgot how careful I need to be, and how much time and attention she needs. I have "baby proofed" my house because even if I don't think she can get into things, she proves me wrong, lol. These are curious, smart little puppies but they are babies and have no sense. You can't have expectations for an instant perfect puppy. Its up to you to guide her and teach her manners. I learn new things everyday by coming here and reading everyone else's questions, posting my own, and reading up on Yorkie's in general. It takes time, and patience..lots of both. Good luck with your new baby..take good care of her. You are all she has. |
