Doing things differently with Kelli. She has a playpen to stay in while I'm at work. The green patch is a life saver, spend the money on one if you're gone over 6 hours a day. I have a yard, but it is open to my neighbors, so she as to stay inside while I'm at work.
Now, to get through the night where I can get some rest, I got her a 30 inch kennel for her to sleep in next to my bed. No pic of it. Lots of treats to make it a positive thing and something called pet eze is my favorite thing. It helps her calm down enough so she can go to sleep. She sleeps for most of the evening while I'm at work and she isn't one to go back to sleep 2 hours after I wake her up. Some nights, she fights it, but does give up. I also have some lavender on a toy to help also to get her to sleep.
Took Kelli to the local puppy park and the dogs had a blast, but the humans are cruel and judgemental. Most likely will not go back to the park due to human treatment. I left (when kelli got tired) but left with hurt feelings. I will find someplace else that is fun for the both of us.
Now, each puppy is a teething machine and they HURT! And it's a period of time that can last up to 9 months of age after her adult teeth come in. So, get a 1 inch stick cut to a foot or two for them to chew on. They will chew on anything wood that is nailed to the house, but if you supply them with a stick that is just for them, it will reduce the house chewing by 90%. But it can NEVER NEVER NEVER be used as anything as toy for them to chew on.......... Again, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER used for anything other then a toy...... Maybe get some of the gravy spray made for the food and apply it to the stick to help them know and remind you of it's use. Another teething trick is to put some of the chicken chewy treats in the freezer to help cool the gums. Kelli loves her frozen treats!
Just some thought!!!!
