Max has been a part of our family for 18 days and since day one I have been the dog trainer....I thought. I have been vigilant with the potty training, discouraging biting and chewing, and religious about crate training. The daytime crate training is going well but we're having a little trouble at night. Max started off pretty good but would wake me up around 4:30am and we would visit the puppy pad and then I would lay on the dog bed or couch and tried to catch a few zzz's while he played. Well, my lack of sleep was getting the best of me so a few nights ago I convinced our other dog that she should allow this new puppy to lay in our bed just for a few hours. Maggie reluctantly went along with it as long as the puppy did not touch her or bother her in any way. However, after this treaty went into effect and Max enjoyed a little snooze on the temperpedic, the next morning he got up at 3:30am. Last night he arose at 12:30am! Who is training who here? As I'm typing this, the kennel is empty and I have two dogs in the bed. Max is the trainer, I am the trainee....Let's hope house training goes a little better!
