Hi all,
I just received my 8 week old female shepherd puppy yesterday. I raised GS pups 30+ years ago and don't remember it being so hard. I feel like a new father at 60. Granted it will take Lacey a few days to get used to us and her new home. Plus, United Airlines PetSafe failed to board her in Houston when the breeder dropped her off and the poor pup was stranded in a crate (but supposedly kenneled by PetSafe) until 5PM the next day. What I am seeing is that I time it about 30 minutes after she drinks water and eats, stress "outside" and take her out. She does her business then after 10-15 minutes comes back into the house wanting to play. However, within 2-3 minutes, she squats and pees on the floor. Not as much, but how to I stop this?
