After many ups and downs and a year an and half wait - I may be picking up my puppy this weekend! :D Sadly, things did not work out with my original breeder (problems with the bitch that are being looked into). Luckily - I now consider them very close friends and I'm sure I've got a friend for life. :D
However through some searching and networking (networking ROCKS!), I may have found my dream puppy! :D :D :D
Here's the question:
Do any of you have any 'Puppy Tips' to avoid barking while in the crate? I plan on playing with him, walking and training with him regularly. So I'd like to think that he'll be too tuckered out to yap. ;)
But we have such a wealth of knowledge here of puppy raisers - it can't hurt to ask! ;) Do you have any tips?
I'm SO excited - wish me luck! :D :)
