Answer #1

thanks shes only 14 wks old. we sometimes try to make sure she doesnt sleep too much or else she will wake up at 4:00am. not fun. but she usually wakes up at 6:30 so shes getting better… do you have any advice for training her to go on a potty pad?

Answer #2

If she’s a very young pup…they sleep A LOT (like 20 to 22 hours per day)…

I would think of “lethargic” as a pup who obviously did not feel good.

Answer #5

For the potty pad I would say. To tell her no if she trys or goes on the floor and then take her over to the potty pad.

Answer #6
