Hi, I have some questions about housebreaking. For those that know. We got Nora at 11 weeks and had poor proof of shots, so we are doing all her shots from scratch. She is due for her second round on Monday. We haven't been taking her out much because of this. The vet said she can go outside but not on grass and to not let her near any dog poop that people fail to clean up. (Shame on them!) We have made quite a few mistakes....this being our first puppy. I didn't want to crate her right away and am now wondering if I made a big mistake. I broke out the crate today and she did not take well to it. I lured her in with a treat and put a nylabone and a kong in with her. I only left her in about 5 minutes or so as an introduction. I stayed in the room with her as well. She barked a bit and chewed on the metal. Did I make a mistake by not crating her from day one? She has been with us for 3 weeks today. Also is it possible to housebreak her with out crating her at all? Also by what age should she be fully housebroken. How long does it generally take? Ugh. Sorry so long with so many questions. Thanks everyone!
