Alrighty! We got our mini poodle last week at 10 weeks old. I've cried like every other day from being overwhelmed and sleep deprived (HEAVY ON THIS) but the last few days have been MUCH better. He's actually almost potty trained. He sleeps through the night in his crate next to our bed (and I mean literally 9 hours!!!!!!). He knows how to sit and I *think* knows his name. He has MAX 1 accident a day (usually the human's fault) but he's had a few accident free days this week. HOWEVER: i have to pick him up to go potty because it's on our roof and he's too little to go up the stairs (HE HATES IT and has recently started to get super antsy/bity). Second, I tried carrying him in a sling and he also hates it. He also hates his leash lmao so I stopped introducing him to his leash and only put his collar on for the day so he can get used to that and I think that the sling just makes him feel unstable so I bought a new tote bag that has a hard bottom where his feet can actually rest. Will try it out this week probably. The only thing that's getting to me is that he CANNOT SIT STILL LOL he's only fall asleep on the couch with us twice in the whole week. When will he be able to chill out and nap with us?
