Ditto to all the above. Crate training was the best thing I ever did for our two dogs.

I had a litter of puppies in July, started crate training them when they were about 5 weeks old. They are 11 weeks and the ones that have already left are totally crate trained and mostly housebroke already. We are keeping one and he is in puppy kindergarten right now and is the "star" student because I taught him "sit" and then "look here" at a very young age. He will now sit and watch for his next command - don't really have one for him yet though - thus the classes.

Oh okay... That would be really sad if she got strangled!

Never use your hands to correct your puppy,it just teaches them to fear you.

PetSmart has some pretty good trainers.

I am so excited

Good Luck!

Of course pictures will be required when you get back and get settled in

The only thing i can say is - consistency and a regular schedule - and for house training - take them out every 20-30 minutes when they are young - and after they eat- or wake from a nap

We played with her outside for almost an hour, we put her inside and she is OUT!

I will post pictures soon if not by tonight.

I have to leave for an hour.. (She won't be alone

)

After I get home, I will take tons of pictures of her playing and sleeping! Lol

She adjusted so well to my house, she is already relaxed, but still a little edgy.

Which is normal because we JUST brought her home..
