Hi ya, just an update to let you all know that Rufus is settling in nicely. I had problems settling him in his crate when I went out, but I think we're there now.
I didn't have him in the crate at night, so I moved it in to our bed-room and settled Rufus in there at bed time. From this he seemed to realise that crate time was quiet time, and treat time.
He's only 13 weeks old tomorrow and I'm so proud of him.
Thanks for all the support offered when I asked for it, no doubt they'll be something else soon -
