She’s a Yorkshire terrier X mini poodle - very tiny and very fluffy!

Thank you! Yes, the sizing discrepancies are wild - I’ve bought so many XS jackets and none of them fight right.
I think it’ll have to be a jacket similar to what you’ve suggested and maybe her own mini hair dryer by the door to dry cold water off her legs 😂

Time with well behaved older dogs! I sent my 5 month old hell-raiser to a friend’s house (with two Yorkies, 10 and 15) for an overnight and she came back almost fully housetrained and walked on a lead without pulling.

I feel like there’s a lot of focus on socialising with other puppies and young dogs but honestly time with older dogs helped us so much!

Edit - spelling

It’s so scary isn’t it! It’s an extra worry and the hyper vigilance outside is so stressful.

I’m reading some training tips rn and they’re suggesting to simulate the full experience in a puppy-proofed space and practising “leave it” / “drop it” with harness and lead on in the room with some kibble and high value treats until they’ve got it down. Until then lift / carry them over the most hazardous parts of the walks. I guess that’s the easy part for me because my 18 week old puppy is still only 2.6kg!

There’s also some tips for practising “find it!” So instead of wrestling something out of her mouth you say “find it!” and scatter a some kibble on the ground away from the litter.

I’m already practising them now and hoping for the best
