[quote=Anonymous]I got my puppy at 8 weeks old. She slept in the crate in our family room, where we want her eventually. I slept next to her for about 6 weeks. I had to get up at least once to let her out to pee. Around 14 weeks she started sleeping through the night till 7am, and I was back to my bed. Looking back if I had to do it again I wouldn’t introduce her to her day bed, which confused her where to sleep at night. I wouldn’t let my kids sleep with her outside the crate, which made her unwilling to go back to her crate when the kids couldn’t sleep with her. Anyway, decide on what you want and stick with the plan, so your dog develops a good habit/pattern and your life is much easier. Oh, buy a crate for her adult size so you don’t have to keep upgrading. If you ask me, keep her diet simple too. Don’t  waste your money on “nutritious” treats, and don’t treat your dog like a human baby in terms food variety. Less is more, in dog food varieties. As for quantity, not over feeding your dog will not only help with his/her health but also help you train the dog. Kibble is a perfect treat for training purposes. Obviously I had too much time right now so I wrote all this. I am not an expert but hopefully my very limited experience will help you a little. I learned a lot from this forum. [/quote]
