and there’s a lot to teach them! it’s so important to teach them what they’re allowed and not allowed to chew on, to relieve themselves outside instead of inside, to chew on their toys and not on your clothes or hands, to not jump up on you and your visitors. one key tool to helping your puppy learn what’s appropriate is a crate!
you might feel bad putting your puppy in a crate, especially when they whine and bark to get out. remember though that puppies are young and growing. they need time to sleep and may not necessarily give themselves that opportunity if they’re out all the time with you.
