Hi,
I will be picking up my little Bichon Poo puppy in a few weeks and have been looking into all the training options and have seen lots of advice about using a crate. However, my kitchen (which is where the dog would sleep etc) really doesn't have a space for a big crate but does have a nice little corner where I was thinking of putting her bed. Was then going to put a stair gate across the door. We have a cottage - the sort with a large lounge diner then smallish kitchen and bathroom at the back.
Initially didn't like the idea of a crate but have now come round to it but really can't see how this would fit without us tripping all over it it or putting it in the lounge, which I don't want to do.
Do you think I can train her just as well without as this would be most ideal?
Also - do you put a collar on them as soon as you get them home for a little while each day until they are used to it?
Will check it all out with vets and puppy training school too but am sure there are some experts on here that could help.
Thanks.......
Can't wait to get her - just need to think of a name - we are liking Britney - our PUP Princess!
FYI - I have 3 children so life is gonna get a little bit more crazy - but lovely!
