I understand being away from there owners and be as hard on them as it is there owners. I have a lot of patience and let them adjust on there time.I talk in a happy voice and know if they make a mistake etc. its because of there stress. I treat my fur baby like my child and shes jealous. I use to breed Shih Tzues so I have had a lot of experience with puppies also. My dog has its own bedroom. His create is inside the room but I don't create him. I have a big dog door with open slats for his room. I have a big back yard with a six foot fence. The floors in my home are wood llimate so no worries on mistakes
