I brought an 8 week old puppy home on Saturday. I am using a crate and so far she loves it and will take her toys to play in it.
I don't expect her to sleep though the night as she is so young and she wakes me up either 3 or 4 times during the night to go out to the toilet. However, I've read that you shouldn't go to them when they whine as they will learn that if they whine they will get let out of the crate.
Toilet training is obviously a top priority so I'm glad she is waking me when she needs to go, but I'm not sure what to do about the whining. Is it ok at this age? Or am I creating problems for when she is older?
