Hi I will try and help you with some of your questions.
1) I gave charlie pup pepperoni and puppy milk bones.He really likes them even when he was a puppy.
2) I did what your book said and Charlie has done great. He still has some accidents but once I fixed him and he got a little older he has done great.
3) I never really gave him naps. I worked so during the day he stayed in a crate and rested now he stays in my kitchen. I put up a baby gate and he has a little bed and a towel with toys on it. I alway leave food and water.
4) Now for the sleeping at night problem. I put charlie in a create and set it where he could see me and if he barked I had a squart bottle and would squart him. That teaching them not to wake you up. But the first week you may have to take them out and let them go to the bathroom. I would not let charlie sleep in the bed with me until he was one years old. They say it is not good to let them sleep before that.
I hope some of this helps other may have more ideas this is just some I learn and done. |
