Start slow and use your first couple of weeks to bond before training. You are lucky to be able to be home.
Good Luck to you! Can't wait to see pics of your new baby. |
Thanks for the tip about the Nutrical!!! I had forgotten about that one, used it for my last pup 12 years ago. I bought a play pen and will put her crate in it during the day (door open) with wee pads on opposite side. I want to only close the crate at night for sleeping.
What about "safe" toys that I can put in the pen, for comfort and chewing gratification? Any suggestions?
Also, I read somewhere hear about using Honey Nut Cheerios as a reward during potty training. Is this OK for a ten week old baby?
Again, thanks all of you for the info.... it's soooooo much appreciated.
