[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why people buy puppies from responsible breeders. You don't know what his experience was before you got him.

How much night time and day time sleep does he get? Are naps in the crate and at the same time every day (like 1-4)? [/quote]

Even a puppy from a "responsible breeder" (no such thing in this scenario, but I'll play along) is going to need the exact same crate protocol. It may be slightly easier, because a responsible breeder would've already crate-trained the dog somewhat, and it would simply be a matter of acclimating the dog to a new crate in a new location. But the protocol is the same: the dog is crated any time it's not being actively handled. The dog leaves the crate and immediately goes outside to do its business, and is then kept on leash, actively observed, for an age-appropriate amount of time, to do supervised/scheduled activities before being returned to its crate.

Purebred puppies need the exact same training. You either know it and do it, or you don't (and then you blame the puppy, who may end up at a shelter, where there are plenty of dogs with exactly this sort of mishandling as their previous life experience).[/quote]
