Re: we got a new pet!
Nice pick Aleesha, she is adorable! My wife was in the same boat as you for a while - No dog! But now she loves our new addition more than me. You better enjoy the super cute-ness of her while you can, I can't believe how big our Mesa (Akita/Chow/Boxer mix) has gotten in three short months. Crate training = After I'm done with training sessions with her, she goes into her crate and plops down hoping for extra treats , as well as choosing to sleep there over almost anywhere else. Have fun!!

Re: we got a new pet!
We crate trained a lab pup years ago hon but she did sleep in her own dog box in our room at night. Now that was a trip trying to get her to stay in there instead of standing by the bed whining to get in with us but eventually she sorted it out (hid some dog cookies in her bed and like most labs she was lead by her tummy LOL). We mostly used the crate during the day for housebreaking and when we needed a break from puppy or puppy from us as well as when we went out without her. Just remember she needs to be in there lots so she won't equate it with only you leaving her alone or she'll really hate the crate.

Re: we got a new pet!
Like I said earlier, don't give into the cries if you want to crate train her to be in there quietly. She has to learn that she can only come out of the crate when she's quiet. The first two nights are the worst - if you can make it through that, you should be fine.
We used to chuck treats in the back of the crate and used the command "load" for Diamond - she thought it was a fine game. The command for the Canine Assistants is "kennel" and Diamond has learned that one by watching them.

Re: we got a new pet!
Hehe.. count on a puppy to wear you out. It's like having a human baby when they're puppies.. 'cept they can get into more trouble.

Aleesha, I gotta say you have one lucky daughter. You get rid of most of your "yucky" spiders and pick up a puppy! :eek: Not just any puppy, but a burnese!?!? :eek:
any chance you'd want to adopt me as well?
