Hi,
We're collecting our new puppy on Saturday. We have bought a crate, a vet bed and lots of new puppy books. But my husband and I have now had a bit of a disagreement. I've read in a couple of books that you should let the puppy spend its first few nights in a box in your room. My husband says that if he'd thought the puppy would be in our room at all (we both agree that dogs should not be allowed upstairs), he never would have agreed to having a puppy.
What do you think? Will the puppy be okay downstairs in her crate straight away? Will we be setting ourselves up for more trouble that way because she won't learn to settle quickly? Or will she be fine?
