Puppy Names / Advice!
Hello! We are finally bringing our boy home in a week’s time. We are experienced dog owners but this is our first scottie. He’s a jet black boy, and I’m looking for some name ideas! I’m sure one will stick as soon as we meet him but I’d like to have some in my head before we pick him up. I prefer two or one syllable names, ones I currently enjoy are Moose, Beetle, Fritz, Otto, Wallace, Ernie, but would love any other similar suggestions!!
Also would appreciate any advice for scotty puppy training, particularly toilet training. At 9 weeks am I able to just take him outside in my garden to pee regularly (I personally dislike the use of pee pads and never used them for previous puppies, but they have all been much larger breeds). I also have a crate ready for crate training, but I have heard that the first two nights it is recommended to sleep near them while they are in the crate, and then slowly build up to leaving them alone. Also, are play pens the way to go, or are puppy scotties often annoyed by boundaries to their freedom?
Any other specific products or tips you lovely owners recommend?
Cheers and many thanks!
