When you get your new puppy it is important to make sure you are ready for one. They require alot of attention, and time.
They are almost like have a little child around, and will and can get into so many things.
I believe a puppy should be crate trained for there own good and yours also. It makes for potty training alot easier and also keeps them safe when you are not home.
The puppies I raise, are paper trained, and will go outside potty at 8 weeks old. They are so smart and easy as babies to learn new things.
When a puppy wakes up from a nap, or after play is the best time to take them outside.
Hope this helps a few who are new to baby puppies
