We crate trained and I don't understand how people don't do that with their dogs. 1. They don't make a mess around the house 2. they don't eat things they shouldn't and 3. we have piece of mind that they won't end up hurting themselves somehow. Our dogs are also on a very strict schedule and it really works out well. <br />I would put him outside when you vaccum if that's what he's doing. So he gets to go outside and you get to vaccum! <br />Also, puppy classes. A lot of places do a puppy class that is specifically for dogs that are younger. That way you can socialize him early and safetly without worrying too much about him not have all of his vaccines. <br />I love puppies and I'm glad you're getting on so well with Scout :) Erinn C.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01513546317036065267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-47035550432828218862013-07-21T14:28:00.829-05:002013-07-21T14:28:00.829-05:00If I had a dog this stinkin cute I'd write abo...If I had a dog this stinkin cute I'd write about him ALL the time.

I've never had a puppy, but a good thing to keep in mind when he's a little older is that they can be desensitized from certain things. Casey used to get really anxious and shake and cry when we were leaving the house, so we desensitized him from those cues (e.g., putting on shoes and grabbing the car keys, then sitting down on the couch instead of leaving). They're such creatures of habit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-91103953898419697212013-07-19T13:41:21.141-05:002013-07-19T13:41:21.141-05:00He's such a cutie!

If you want, you can drape a towel/blanket over the sides of the crate to create darkness for him to sleep. My friend did that with her toy austrailan dog and it worked. They also like constant chew toys (my new puppy loves anything that squeaks).<br /><br />And incase the dog starts to bite furniture, you can use Bitter Apple Spray. My brother got it for his dog and it works...deters him from eating the leather couches, coffee table, etc!

I remember setting my alarm several times at night to drag that sucker downstairs to relieve himself. He was crate-trained and potty-trained pretty quick with my persistence. You can't leave them alone because they'll tear through everything and some. And it's so sad leaving them to go somewhere. I still get kinda sad, 4 years later!Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543581308363689982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-66723510384783508912013-07-19T08:29:18.708-05:002013-07-19T08:29:18.708-05:00He is just so darn cute!

We definitely crate trained our dog which was hard when it came to sleeping at night! I hated to hear those cries and I'm a sucker so now he either sleeps in between my legs or on the floor beside me. We did teach him that saying "nap time" means time for the crate. As soon as you say it he runs straight to it.
