Hi! I recently joined this forum since we just got a puppy a few days ago. (This is my second golden puppy as an adult-I had three growing up.) We brought our puppy home on Monday and things were going well until today. I feel like someone came in and switched puppies. He is acting wild and nipping/mouthing us. I tell him no and put a toy in his mouth instead. Is that the right thing to do? He also hates his crate. I have done everything to make a positive place-toys, cozy bedding, a treat when he goes in, but he cries/whimpers for at least 10-15 minutes. We ignore him and he will settle after 15 minutes or so. Is that normal? What can I do to make him like it better?
I find myself missing my dog that died a few weeks because he was such a sweet, well behaved, and loving dog. I forgot how much work puppies can be. I keep second guessing myself on things I do since it has been 13 years since I had a golden puppy. Any advice/suggestions would be so appreciated.
Thanks!:wavey:
