[quote=Anonymous]We are on week six with our Cockapoo, who is 14 weeks old. We couldn’t have done this if we weren’t both working from home and have a tween who is doing DL at home and super helpful. Puppy is not a breeze but waaaaay easier than my two kids were as babies. We all just started sleeping straight through from 10:30 pm to 6:30am. Still has accidents but they are predictable and have more to do with one of us forgetting to take him out 15 mins after he eats or not waiting long enough for him to go in the rain (he hates the rain). We are a pretty high energy family so someone is always ready to play with him outside. Yes he chews but he’s never unsupervised so he’s learning what he can and can’t chew. He was easy to crate train and we still use a pen when he can’t be supervised. I think the hardest thing is always keeping an eye on how he interacts with the 5-year-old. Because he’s still nippy and the younger kiddo can’t read him well and basically just wants to carry him everywhere. (It’s actually feeling far more difficult to teach my youngest when to leave puppy alone.) Overall it’s been about as difficult and sometimes easier than I was expecting. And I always thought I hated dogs. But I like this one. ;)
