[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. 5 years ago we got a Cavapoo puppy. She was relatively easy and we had an older dog to help keep her in line.

NEVERTHELESS,[b] I still got PPPD for a few months. Post Partum Puppy Disorder. [/b]You can't let them out of your sight for a minute for a long time while you are house training, especially when they hate the crate. And yes I did do crate training too but she never totally took to it. Sleeping was not consistent, had shark teeth, etc. Just newborn-level mental exhaustion. We did teach her to ring a bell when she had to go outside so that was cute. Until the bell fell on her and never again did she use it.

She is now the bestest dog. [/quote]

PP at 12:19 here. People laugh about this or roll their eyes, but this is very real. Like I posted above, I was at the point where I was so exhausted that I was literally going to walk out and go stay at a hotel for a couple of days and leave the puppy with my DH. It's all worth it, and my dog has been the easiest most wonderful dog in the world for 10 years now, but it's rough in the beginning.

We taught the bell too -- we hung jingle bells on the door.  Our dog learned it pretty quickly and we were thrilled and patted ourselves on the back, but then she started ringing it aggressively whenever she wanted to go out and play, lol, which was all the time. Then she started ringing it whenever she wanted something, like the bells rich people ring for their maid in movies. It was pretty funny, but also a huge hassle, so we had to adjust things, ha ha.[/quote]
