So, got a new dog this week. It's an 8-week old Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
Like any puppy, he's very clingy and excitable. We just got our crate yesterday and set it up in the living room. Like any puppy, he howls and whines when put in it. Trying the entire positive re-enforcement thing, making him know it's a "happy" and "good" place to be...
Bleh.
Any tips on breaking him of the whining? I ignore him, as I've read that I should. Also trying to potty train him. Any help on this? He just does not like going outside... I stood out with him for three hours one night because he HAD to go, but he didn't. He just grabs the leash in his mouth and lays in the grass. Then, we bring him in... bam, he craps on the carpet.
So yeah, dog training tips/tricks/help would be awesome here
