Hi. Only had my Lab Cheddar for 5.5 days and it seems rather too easy or will it all go wrong? 1st night I got her I crated her and she has no problems with it at 9 weeks old. Went to bed at 10:30pm and she woke at 2:00am for a quick wee and poo then back in the crate with 20mins of moaning. Back up at 5:30am with no problems. 2nd night bed at 10:30pm with no moaning and then up at 5:30am for the usual. 3rd night bed at 10:30pm with no moaning and then up at 6:00am for the usual. Then the other nights are the same. Sleeps great during the day and can leave her in the crate for 3 hours (I'm at home all times and not in the same room as her). Only had 3 wees and one number 2 on the kitchen floor and none in her crate. Can sit and almost stay and retrieve already with lots of treats. She seems so easy going and the wife said a bit boring lol but if start playing with her then them teeth will have you. Hope it stays this easy.
I always say our Tess lulled us in to a false sense of security, she was so easy for the first month or so! Loved her crate from day 1, never pooed indoors, only a few wee accidents, good as gold once we started taking her out etc. We then went through the croco-pup phase when I had to separate her from the children basically all the time and my clothes were getting ripped on a daily basis, and now at 5 months she's lovely again Enjoy her, I love the name!
She's a little beauty, that's for sure. Just enjoy every day that's she's being so perfect, don't question it!
She's absolutely gorgeous! They are all different, but I think it's quite rare to have no crocapup stage - enjoy!
Enjoy it - it might just be the honeymoon period Make sure you give her lots of praise even for just lying quietly in her cage - positive reinforcement will go a long way when getting her to understand what behaviour you want. And then she'll become a teenager mwahahahaha She is a gorgeous little pup
What a beauty!! And I love her name!! Enjoy every minute! I have no advice as our pup has only just been born, but your photo is getting me very excited!
She's gorgeous. Sounds a very relaxed little girl - reminds me of Juno. Hoping it all keeps going so well - even Juno's crocopup stage wasn't too hard to live with
How adorable Harley was a good sleeper from nearly the start and now at 22 months will often sleep til 10-11am She may be lulling you into a false sense of security though
Oh she is lovely ,I had to smile at your wife saying she is boring.....buckle up,the fun will soon start x
Aww she is gorgeous! Benson our chocolate was actually a very good puppy. From 10 weeks until about 4 months old or so he really, really was good. Rarely had any accidents, took to crate training no problem. Never barked or whined. Didn'r even have much of a crocopup phase to be honest. Until... 6 months he became a REAL handful....then at 8/9 months he hit adolescence and I am not sure we have quite recovered from that!
