Hello, I have few questions before I pick my puppy up in about a week, then I'll really have some questions! By the time I get her home it will probably be around 3 or 4 in the morning, maybe earlier.
After I take her to the backyard and she gets situated inside, can I crate her for an hour or two? I don't want the crate to feel negative but can't really make it feel positive in a short time frame other than sleeping right next to her. Or should I stay up with her (sleeping or not), and wait for a family member to wake up to watch her for a few hours while I sleep?
I was at a local pet shop yesterday looking at training treats. I didn't do much research on them but the ingredients in all of them didn't sound good. If any of you use commercial training treats for your pup, what kind do you like? Or do you use chicken and turkey from the grocery store?
How did you bring your pup to his/her first and second vet visit? Sounds like I either need to hold her or crate her the whole time.
