Welcome to YT and Welcome Home Heidi!! I'll be joining you in new puppy parenthood in January. So far, my potty plan is as follows:

- Baby Ijak (pronounced Jack) will be in his pen while I'm at work. I'm lucky to have my parents move in with me in the past few months, so they know to take the puppy out to potty every 2 hours, whether he needs it or not. This will help us establish a routine and a foundation for future training.

- For occasions when no one will be home, Ijak will be placed in a bigger pen with potty pads, which he is use to using from the breeder's house. His day to day pen will be smaller (think crate) which will have bed, food, and a couple toys.

As for not being able to go to the bathroom alone... is that not normal? Kaji, my yorkie, would always go with me. Unless I was at work, Kaji and I were attached at the hip.
