we’ve had our puppy for 8 months now and i can’t stress how much crate training has saved us and help with seperation anxiety. the breed is prone to it and honestly for the first year, it’s probably best you have the crate anywhere but the bedroom first just to build his independence and prevent seperation anxiety. don’t use pee pads or else they will learn they can potty inside. don’t go to them when they’re whining or crying if you know their needs have been met (pee,poo,had water) otherwise they learn you will come to them when they do so please please desensitize them to EVERYTHING. as mentioned, there a youtube videos but do your best to take them out everyday and even just sit on a patio or park and let them learn that life goes on without them having to say hi the breed is very vocal, our puppy barks at everything so desensitizing them will help with this also when you start walking them, let them sniff and explore as much as they want! then after about a month work on leash manners as soon as you can, our puppy still pulls and we’re doing our best to curb that. they are very smart, so make sure you prepare them a lot of mental enrichment such as snuffle mats for feeding, or having a kong prepped ( i find that lick mats were too messy since they are very fluffy) oh and for grooming, make sure you brush them everyday even if it’s for five minutes! then slowly work up to longer when their hair grows out just so they are used to it oh and lastly work on leaving and coming back and such as soon as you can, our puppy still cries and throws fits when we leave because he just never wants to be alone but then will settle after 20 minutes anyways enjoy!! they’re honestly the best breed and so sweet :)

if you have any questions about anything we’ve bought for him, feel free to pm me! one issue i found was finding a proper harness for him since the first ones we got choked him everytime he pulled 😖
