Crate Training
I was wondering how working pet parents have dealt with puppy playpens, crates, housebreaking, etc. Should I put a crate in a pen and leave the door open with a training pad on the far side of the pen while I'm at work? Should I just leave him in the crate and hope he holds it for 4-5 hours? I know that some people find crate-training to be cruel, but please don't feel obligated to light into me at this point. I don't even have the little guy yet. =) |

| Hi Welcome and congratulations on your new sheepie coming home soon, love the name.
There is a whole section on this forum for crate training. So plenty to read on that aspect & plenty of people to answer any questions you have on using a crate or puppy pen. Nothing wrong with crate training them as it is a safe place for them to be when you are not there. Good luck with your new sheepie and can't wait to see pictures.  |

Welcome to the forum!  |
| Hey that's great! Welcome to the forum!
7 weeks is still pretty young... Any chance the breeder can hang on to your puppy for anohter week at least maybe two? Then again, I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just parroting what others have said. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing your tales of puppy ownership and, of course, pictures! |
