I feel for ya! Puppies are sooooo cute but they can be so much work, too.

Son & DIL have a lab puppy and they are going through exactly what you are. She's 5 months old now. She pees & poops all the time. That's normal for a pup. Their tummy's & bladders are so small. When they poop outside make a big deal about it and give a treat.

They have finally gotten her to poop outside but she still has some pee accidents inside. DIL puts some treats in her crate to entise her inside. Also, favorite toy or something that has your smell inside crate. She has gotten where she goes into crate herself at bedtime. They have the crate in the kitchen area not the bedroom. They tried that but she kept them awake all night. DIL gets up several times a night to take her out.

She is finally starting to calm down at 5 months. Went to obedience training but didn't work too well. They take her to doggy day care sometimes and when she comes home she is absolutely exhausted and falls fast asleep.

It will get better. We got ours as a puppy, too. And after about 1 yr he was great. It's just getting through that puppy stage that can be so hard.

Came home from work one day when he was a puppy and he had dug a big hole by the patio & the "mud" was on the patio in a big pile. He was full of mud and looked so proud of himself. I took him straight to the tub for a bath... and then had to fill the "hole" back up.

Get on the internet and look up puppy training or crate training and you will find lots of good info.

BTW, son & DIL are having a baby in Nov. so they are going to try and get the puppy ready for that.

Good Luck
Barbie
