Hi all,
I have been using this forum so much over the last few weeks in preparation for our new arrival! I'm sure I'll be continuing to use it as we time goes on.
So we pickedJoey up on Saturday- a beautiful, golden 8 week old pup. He seems to have settled in well so far- he is happy to go to his crate occasionally during the day although seems to prefer falling asleep on my feet or in his other bed, which by the way he loves to hump?! He has slept really well so far (touch wood) over night from around 10:30-6am in his crate in the kitchen without any crying (he has puppy pads in the crate). We've only had a few 'accidents' inside but I think he is starting to understand that he needs to do his business outside. He has a few half hours a day of madness where he enjoys chewing anything and everything including my toes, flip flops and remote control- he also loves destroying my plants in the garden! When he's not chewing or biting he gives lovely cuddles though.
So, so far, so good (mostly)! He is so cute and loves a tummy rub and I can't believe how attached to him we are already!
Any tips or advice on...
How to reduce his destruction of my plants...or is this unavoidable?
When is a good time to introduce him to his puppy collar and lead?
Any other tips or advice at this stage for an 8.5 week old pup?!
Thanks
P.s how do I add photos to my post?! Lol
