My puppy, 3 months old, questions

[Danegirl2208]

how long will the pup be alone?

[pitc9]

A 3 month old puppy should not live outside alone.

(but then again IMO NO dog should live outside)

I think it would be in the puppy’s best interest to find him another home where he will be properly taken care of. Puppies are cute but they are also a lot of responsibility and hard work some people don't realize it.

crate training. raising a puppy is very much like caring for a newborn, it's a high intensity job/duty. alex the wonder dog was crated while i was at work, i came home during lunch for a midday potty break/lunch. then when i was at home, he was wearing his harness and leash with one end clipped to my jean loop, so he was with me, and i could supervise him at almost all times.i would take him outside every 2 or so hours, after every meal and right after he woke up from a nap. he slept in my room at night in a dog bed. creating and training a wonderful dog takes time and committment from the humans in the dogs life. if you and your parents realize that it's not what you all can do now, then giving the puppy a better home is the best for all concerned. i am saying/writing this in neurtal, non judgemental tone, please don't hear/read it as a judgment, it's not. kindest regards, joyce
