New puppy! Need advice!!!
 

Hi, my name is Alicia and I recently adopted my baby girl Phoebe!! She's 15 weeks old and weighs 2.4 pounds. She's soo cute!! I've never had a dog so I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice will be much appreciated! I've had her for almost 3 weeks!
I am crate training but unsure of how much play time she needs. She can't go for walks yet cause she hasn't had all her shots but she will in about a week.
My schedule looks like this!
5- potty
7-breakfast
7:30- potty
7:30-8:15 playtime
8:15- 11-crate
11-potty
11:15- hold her/ love her
11:20- crate
1-lunch
130- potty
1:30-2:15-playtime
2:15-430-crate
430-potty
430-4:40-hold her / love her
4:40-7-crate
7-dinner
730-potty
730-8:15- play outside in exercise pen
8:15-9:00- playtime
9-10crate
10-potty
10-bedtime!
She goes poo 2-3 /day! We are working on not peeing inside and for the most part does great! I just want to make sure she's not in the crate too long!? I love her and want her to be happy! She doesn't cry when I put her in and she stays in there.
*I also bath her once a week! Too much? Or is this okay? I am very clean so I don't want a dirty puppy :)
* her eyes water everyday (which I heard is normal) but how do I keep her hair from looking wet all the time? I clean with a comb but it stays wet and hard...

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your response!

Great schedule! I'm glad that it is working for you! I had a fairly similar schedule for Bella, and it worked like a charm.

Once a week bath is fine. Just be sure the shampoo is gentle and meant for dogs.

I wipe the hair below her eyes once a day with a moist wash cloth. I know what you mean about the wet and hard fur below the eyes--no solution to offer, sorry!

Okay thanks!! Glad to hear its a good schedule! :)How long did it take you before you could stop crate training? And when I start walking her does that substitute the play time? Or is it both?

Congrats on your new furbaby!
It looks like you have things figured out and are doing good. I have been giving Henri a bath once a week since he was a puppy and have had no problem, so it should be fine:)
