Meet Rocky 🐾 … 9 Weeks Old
We’ve had him a week, and he’s the love of my life already. I’ve owned a Shih Tzu and a Pug (both lived to 18 and 14). Having only owned small dogs before, I wanted to join this subreddit for advice from Staffy parents. We’re crate training … something we’ve never done before. My husband and I run our business from home, so he’s not been left alone at all yet, but I know he will need to be left at home for short periods of time eventually. So far, he’s sleeping peacefully in his crate at night, only crying when he wants to pee. He’s also voluntarily going into his crate during the day for naps (I am impressed that he’s doing this on his first week with us). He also learned how to sit on his second day with us (in comparison, it took our pug months). The only thing I need to manage right now is the biting; his teeth are like razors and when he plays, anything and everyone is a target. We have a 7 year old, and I do get worried he’ll nip him unintentionally. Any advice would be much appreciated ◡̈
