    Picked up our new puppy today.............

     Have any tips for crate training............she went in the crate already..........been taking her outside but she won't go out there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Lots and lots of praise! Take her out every half hour or so, plus right after every time she eats and wakes up from a nap. When she pees/poops outside, squeeeeeeeaaaaallll! Wheeeeee! Good girrrrrrrlllllllll!

    Good luck!

    Oh, and we love pics, especially puppy pics. Wink

    Where are the picts.  Its a well known fact that pups don't piddle until pics are posted (does that qualify as alliteration?)

    Dittoo--I thought pics were required of all new puppies Smile Congratulations!

     I will get pictures and post them...........it's been a long day. Been using the crate and she won't go outside...........she hasn't gone inside either. So it makes for a long day. We will get pictures though.

     She did really good last night...........I know don't get to excited.....lol. She is 18 weeks old and was wondering at that age how often should we take her outside?

     

    Thanks

     As soon as she wakes up in the morning, as soon as she wakes up from a nap, right after eating or drinking, approx every 20 minutes of her awake and playing time...

    Takes a pup to bring out the best in a person.  I mean, when is the last time you got really excited over piddle and poo.
