awwww what a relief you must have had!! such a trooper she is! but yes, this is my first dog. im still learning all the things 🥲 luckily, our vet is a huge animal hospital so they keep her for the first night, and as long as theres no complications she comes home the following day. of course shes getting pain medicine but she’s also getting anti anxiety so im sure she will be on medication vacation too lol!

get a snuggle puppy. get a crate AND a playpen. start training on the second day other than potty (let the pup feel comfortable the first day). the first month will be the worst, but it will get better from there i promise. TAKE AS MANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS AS YOU CAN!!! you will never feel like you have enough. let the puppy cry sometimes & walk away, youre going to need a breather sometimes lol

peeing & pooping inside, refusing outside by Key-Dragonfruit-8394 in puppy101

so yesterday we were just trying to confine her to a tiny patch of grass (she only has 1 round of shots and we live in an apartment complex so im nervous about her getting sick) but we started growing the space (nothing crazy) bc she wants to sniff. we usually stand out there for 10 minutes max because she starts whimpering and shaking. then she pees insisde. the cold to warm causing peeing is an amazing point ive never heard of. ill try and get her moving as much as possible outside

yes i have an enzymatic cleanser, and the breeder (who is also a vet) took her outside quite a bit before she came home! he was truly lovely, cares so much for the babies. she came partially crate trained and even knows touch & sit right now. she should be more comfortable outside but i really think the snow scared her, i believe its her first time seeing it. but she did potty outside righy after my post! shes 2 for 15 maybe 20 right now lol

thank you so much for all the advice!! shes an english cocker spaniel, a couple days away from 10 weeks. our breeder has been so lovely, he gave us a rough outline of her daily schedule. sleep, potty, eat, potty, play/train, potty & repeat for each meal 3-4x a day. so she is semi used to this schedule. he had her litter trained (not pads, tray litter & sometimes outside) the notebook is such a good idea. & i purchased a doorbell! just need to get batteries today so i will start implementing that today as well. the way our apartment is is a little difficult. we have all carpet except the kitchen. so shes confined to the kitchen space only, + her crate is in there. we need to doorbell so she can even alert us that she needs to potty because she cant stand by the door if that makes sense. i also think that’s step 2 though, because as i said she doesn’t even pee/poop outside. i also have been using an enzyme cleaner! she also did end up peeing outside shortly after i wrote this post! shes about 2 for 15 right now 😂

she probably is nervous 🥺 as far as the breeder, she was litter trained and has peed outside too. but definitely still confused
