@Jilldrinkwater , I hope your night got better, eventually like Boogie says they do get there!

I'm not really the best person to advise regarding crate training, Cassie is the first dog I've had to use one and luckily for me she took to it with no bother. Nor did I get up in the night to her, preferring to get up earlier than normal and clean up any wees or poos. So i'm not much help with that either.

I had other issues with Cassie, keep coming here as there will be someone who has had similar issues who can help, for sure!

I hope you managed to get some sleep. Harley never liked her crate so we gave up with it. She loved sleeping upstairs on her bed in our bedroom and didn’t wake up until we did. It suited us, but I know not everyone likes dogs in their bedroom.

I have too much medical equipment in my bedroom so all mine have been downstairs. It is harder but it works out fine I just stay downstairs for a while it's whatever works for you. But how things are now isn't permanent and everything soon gets better. You will work it it between you. You get into a routine you and your pup and then you find things are ok.

Try to make time for little training sessions each evening (and also before you go to work, if you’ve got time). It doesn’t need to be long - five minutes is fine, so that you don’t get him over-excited. Also just reinforce what you’ve already done, eg get him to sit and wait while you prepare his food.
Will there be someone at home with him while you’re at work?

It is hard work, but a bit of routine (and help from other people!) can work wonders!

Hello Jill, just found your thread, welcome from myself and Maisy.

Maisy is a calm and lovely 22 months now but it was because I had lots of questions and a mad, bitey, lunatic puppy that I found this forum and it is such a relief to share and realise you are not the only one. As everyone has said, these puppy phases will all pass and you will have a gorgeous loyal friend at the end of it. But puppyhood does go by so quickly, sometimes you are so busy trying to cope that you forget to enjoy it. Take lots of photos to look back on. And put them on here ... we love photos!
