Hi all,
The information on this forum has been so helpful, but now I have some worries of my own.
I am a first time English Mastiff AND puppy owner. I got nine week old Giles on Monday night. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. He is doing very well with his crate training, but I am having a really difficult time with potty training. I have been bringing him out about every two hours (after playing, taking him out of his crate, etc) and a couple times he won't pee outside, but will come back inside. Needless to say, I am feeling like the worst owner.
Also, for when he is not in the crate does anyone have any recommendations on how we play together? I am finding myself just too on edge about another accident occurring inside. However, we are both really enjoying playing tug-o-war and taking naps together .
I feel so lucky to be apart of the EM world and I look forward to reading more great advice!
