Hi everyone, I am starting to struggle a lot with my puppy and would just like to maybe get ideas to help with the main issues I find I'm struggling with. Background is she is 19 weeks female Labrador. Over the past few weeks I have been finding it really hard, I'd like to know firstly If this is normal, secondly any tips. The nipping/not leaving alone is something I'm finding very hard,I know it's normal but it's relentless. Her routine is she gets 2 walks a day around 30 minutes each, around 9 and 4 roughly. The vets said the 5 minutes rule for walking outside so sticking to that, she also has my garden medium size and we also have a enclosed garden that we share with neighbours,communal, which is large and grassy and fully enclosed by the backs of our houses in a square shape, so she often will go out there too, I don't use lead there so I throw the ball and she has a run out there so I do think her exercise/physical Needs are being met. Is it possible I'm overdoing it or does this sound ok. We also do short training sessions with her kibble on things like sit,stay etc. If we are not out or actively playing/training she won't leave off, constantly bite my arms or hands, ashamed to say she made me cry the other day! Ridiculous! Id had bad news and I just wanted to sit down with a tea! I tried the yelping out loud then withdrawing from her, she goes more if I do that, I feel enticing her to do it more really with the loud exciting noises. I tried the remove myself from her with no reaction at all, I'm constantly standing up and down,up and down, I need a break! Is this normal? Another issue is she has diarrohea a lot, she actually has vets appointment on Monday as I need to sort the reason for diarrhoea out, it's impossible to pick up with bag, it makes a lot of mess,I'm hoping vet can help with issue but it's another thing that's quite stressful, in the day time she is pretty ok,odd accident, night time I put her into crate around 10pm after last toilet break as that's when I go to sleep, I still get up around 3/4 am to let her out as she needs a poo then, Is this normal? When would she be able to do 10pm to 6 am? I generally do hear her and let her out to go, if I do not in time she will soil crate, but after this 4am poo she's wide awake and ready to go, any advice for this issue? She is happy in crate I believe,she sometimes takes herself there in the daytime for nap, and bedtime she doesn't create, just at the 4am poo she will be wanting to get up and play then. She also will not toilet out on walks, is this a puppy thing and will change? She only will go in my small garden, not communal large one, when we finish walk and get to front door when I'm getting keys out of bag she will go outside front door without fail, is it because the walk is exciting so she forgets/holds as too busy sniffing/looking at everything? Anyone with experience of labradors 4/5 months is this all normal? It's so so much harder than I ever thought! If I sort the diarrhea problem on Monday that will be one less stressful thing, but she is hundred miles per hour most of the day! Is she not sleeping enough? She sleeps on and off through the day, but she's quite Velcro, she will sleep next to me on sofa,when I move,which I have to,she will wake so I don't know if I should be doing enforced naps in crate so I can get on with stuff? She's been lovely but I am shocked at how hard having a puppy really is! She is like having 4 toddlers at once with sharp teeth! By the time I do something in the house she's undone it! Sorry so long, did anyone else feel stressed at this age with there dogs,am I doing something wrong with her,please tell me in a year or 2 she's going to be a lovely mellow dog,she won't be this much forever will she? I'm trying to go with it but bit overwhelming last couple of weeks. I'm sorry this is so long
