| I got my pup at 8 weeks and I started taking her everywhere with me. She loves visiting all my friends and their dogs (wonderful for wearing out a pup). I did not start taking her places where a bunch of random dogs would be until I got more of her shots. I had no problems and she is turning into a very good citizen.
She is in the crate anytime i cannot watch her. I let her have the backyard for an hour in the morning when I am getting ready for work where she eats poops and runs off some energy and then she goes into her crate for 3 or 4 hours before i get in from lunch and she gets to play and have some time in the yard again. Then back in the crate until I am off work and then we spend the rest of the evening together. She has the same "bout" of energy around 9 in the evening so I just let her go crazy because after that she sleeps ALL night. When I put her in the crate she likes having some music going, it calms her down and she doesn't feel like I am gone. |
