Who would have thought that 2kg of fluff can make such a noise. Last night was sleepless as my new Schnoodle puppy ‘screached’ the
whole house down at 12.30 am and then 4.00 am. Each time he did go out to do a pee, which is good, but I think he was trying to get attention. He is not used to a crate and getting him used to it is a task.
Roll on to the morning and I have no other option but to phone the pet behaviourist, who visited us yesterday, Jo at K9 Dog Training Solutions, to get her advice. Her advice was to come down to him, put him our for a pee, put him back in the crate, close the door and make myself a cup if tea and hang about in sight of him until he settles back into a sleep. Great advice, will try this tonight.
Potty training is going well. I think he is up to about 1.5 hours of being able to hold his pee before needing to go out. I did find a poo under the dining chair today.
I took a trip to the local pet supermarket and spent a small fortune on some new toys and a new bed. I wanted to get some training treats suitable for puppies of his age, 9 weeks, but 95% of them were only suitable from 3 months old.
Teddy loves a game and that is where I am off to now, to have a good game before his bedtime.
