Congrats again!!!!!!!!!You are so lucky,what a sweet,cutie,pie. I answered some of your questions on your other post.I jumped the gun and had not read this one,sorry,But I hope your nite is going well.The other advantage I forgot to mention of the crate is if it is not to big and they like small and cozy is that they do not like to soil where they sleep or eat so unless they are left to long puppies don't tend to go to the bathroom in their crates which is why it helps housebreak them.They try to keep their den clean so it helps alot but only if they are let out enough and they have not allready spent their life in a box and been forced to use it to go in then sometimes it is harder if it is habit, sometimes they still want to be clean anyway and I realize you probably have no real accurate if any history but in any case the crate is still a safe place.
You may want her to have a little adjustment time but you want to call right away and start looking for a good positive basic training class in your area.Check out the trainers,maybe through your vet or friend maybe some people on this board or sometimes on greatpets they have helped before I know if you say what area you are in but all dogs should go through that for training and bonding for you and them.
They are alot of work but you can never get that unconditional love and joy anywhere but from our furfriends as you know with your kitties.Please,please keep us posted.I love new additions.We are here for the joy,the fun,the laughter and the frustration and everything else.
