    Please help!! So stressed and confused :(

    Update on the crate -- our girl is five and a half months now and she loves her crate. She recently started going in on her own. She used to want me to hold her when she napped, and now she just goes to the crate. I hope your pup is taking to the crate now.

    Normal for a puppy?

    Hello, all. We got our new puppy two and half weeks ago. My wife and I work, and we had to start crating her last week. She goes in at 7:30 a.m., and my wife and I check on her twice during the day, usually at 11 and 2. She seems to be quiet in the crate. She mostly just sleeps. But she...
