So our 11 week old puppy Wilf arrived on Monday. He's as calm as the breeder said he was, settled in really well, had 3 wee accidents so far, has slept in his crate each night without a murmer, been vet checked, ate well etc. However, if anyone can give me some tips on the following I'd be very grateful.
On our walks he's stopping to pick up virtually every stone/twig/branch etc to try to eat them. He's also tried to eat his own poo. Apart from teaching the leave command can we do anything else? He's already mastered sit and down really well.
We introduced him to my mum's spaniel yesterday as my mum is going to dog sit him 3 days a week when we are at work, my mum's spaniel was very unhappy, growling, snapping, baring teeth. Any tips on how we can make this work?
We want to get him used to spending some time alone (we are off for a fortnight now with him), should we do this in little burst and leave him in the dining room with the crate door open or shut?
Thanks in advance.
