We just brought home our 7 week old puppy. He was the first to go from the litter. I am a stay at home mom of a very quick 16 month old, so I think crate training is the best way to go to housebreak the puppy, but he hates his crate, or anytime you walk away from him. He is so loud. I took him out probably about 6 or seven times today in a pattern which I would like to keep as a schedual, praised him when he went potty, played with him outside for about half and hour each time, and brought him back inside to his crate. Oh the noise! I have the worst headache, and I'm afraid my daughter will wake up when we go to bed. His crate is in the family room, he is never left totally alone for more then an hour. Is there something else we can do? How long will this last?
