Hi,
Welcome.We are newish puppy owners too.This site is great, couldnt have coped without it.Our Rosie hated the crate, then had a horrendous upset tum and so was never crate trained. I had nights sleeping downstairs with Her, it seemed She would never be toilet trained over night, in fact At 7 months She really has only now got to grips with that.Still really trying to find food that doesn't upset Her, the places where She has deposited unpickupable poos are too many too mention.She is completely nuts but so bright.Her recall is great, sits, stands, waits, greets people by sitting at their feet,We have started Agility club and because of Rosie have met lovely people.The crate has been put away, She sleeps on a bed in the lounge.There are teeth marks in the skirting boards, the post has to be left in the porch, ( eats it) I could go on ,but what I am saying is hang in there.We had times when We thought what have We done but We wouldnt be without Her now, She is an absolute joy.And if you have a problem ask on here, someone will have an answer for you.
