I got my puppy this morning. I played with her for the first hour home after being with her for 2hrs while I discussed everything with the breeder. She was in between the breeder’s and my arms. She settled in her play pen and was able to sleep 20mins before the neighbor’s dogs started barking and woke her up. After that I did some mental exercise with her food and the crate game. She had her puppy tantrum and I’d only let her out to go potty and back into crate. She settled for another 20mins, took her out and she went potty successfully so she had free time with me for about 2hrs. She’s ver tired because she slept the entire car ride but now we’re back home she went potty before i put her in her crate so she can sleep. But she’s fussing again howling and barking usually i give her about 6mins and that’s when she starts settling but idk if I should stop crate training since it’s her first day and she loves being next to me. What should I do? I don’t want to damage any bonding either so that’s why I’m at a loss.
Edit: the car ride was about 15-20mins
