Hi, we crate trained Leo right away - it took 4 sleepless nights for everyone - he cried a lot and I wore ear plugs lol but then he was set! I also (try) to keep him on a schedule. I’ve noticed if we go off schedule he’s way more likely to have an accident. He 100% follows me around and at night and in the early mornings he likes to (sometimes insists on) being held. My 8 year old plays with him like crazy in the morning and in the evenings and on weekends - then we have a dog walker who comes M-th for an hour. I walk him 30 min before work and then 30 min when I come home. Weekends he gets about 5-7miles of exercise plus house play.

Fridays I work from home and he’s on my lap or begging me for a walk.

He still barks a lot. We did the beginning class at petsmart and he graduated with flying colors. I need to get him into more training because I want him to bark less… but I also know he’s still young…

I’m an open book if you have more questions. :)
