When she goes down for a nap she curls up and gets comfy and sings to herself right before she sleeps, she's not crying nor looking for anyone or anything and sometimes she does it in a little tune while remaining entirely relaxed for a minute or two which makes me laugh, my lab is on the bed in the back watching over her sleepily but if he's more awake it makes him head tilt and make similar noises joining in which has woken her up and made her play bow before.
my girl is nearly 12 weeks old (i've had her for two weeks) and not yet toilet trained but usually okay going to the bathroom but once the temperature drops she just lays in her pen and whines until i take her in, we warm her up holding her and when she wiggles we bring her back out multiple times and nothing.. then the moment she's back in her warm crate because it's been multiple hours and we have to do other things she both poos and pees, what can I do about this? i've bought her a coat and given her puppy pen soft plastic stable (for horses) flooring, at night she won't go inside or outside her pen it as long as she's in the cold, on or off leash and it's eating huge chunks of our evening every evening and then we're cleaning up a puppy and crate covered in her own mess.
it's not a big issue, it's just we cannot devote hours every time the sun sets to waiting for her to go multiple times over until we to bed, she starts ignoring her cue words she uses during the day, the real kicker is in the crate she doesn't cry when she's gonna go she only cries after she's done it and stepped in it, by that point it's too late and if you're watching her in her crate there's no way to open the doors and put her harness and coat on quick enough without risking her going all over us.
advice hugely hugely welcome.
