I know CP will be able to provide me with great info. Just got a 8 week old pup, he's a small dog shouldn't be more than 10 pounds fully grown. I've googled most of this and read articles just want to see what's worked for other people.
How often do you feed them? I've just been leaving food out and he picks at it when he's hungry.
Training on pee pads as we live in an apartment and the elevator ride takes forever. After his naps we take him right to the pad, he's used to twice, other times on the floor
How much sleep should they get? Yesterday we spent a good portion of the day playing and running around. I've read they need 15 hours of sleep plus.
My biggest question is about crate training. He's a cute little bugger and I don't mind him being a lap dog. However I need to get him used to his crate. So after playing for a bit instead of letting him sleep on my lap I put him in his crate. He cries for a bit then stops. I have him on the floor about 5 feet from the couch I'm laying on. Is this the best way to go about it? Is it okay to let him have a few naps out of the crate?
