We have just become the carer for a 9 week old rat terrier x foxie and
are very new to the idea.

We are reading a UK author, Jan Fennell (The Practical Dog Listener)
and are finding it a great help.

As we are approaching our first night can anyone offer advice as how we
handle any upset that 'Nelson' will go through.

I would have the puppy in your bedroom in a crate.
You need to read some specific puppy books. Ian Dunbar is very good . Jan
Fennel isn't very popular with the dog trainers/behaviourists in the UK.
She's known as Jan Flannel. Rank reduction rules such as going through
doors first and eating in front of your dog means diddley squat to a dog .

There is a Uk forum where you can ask for advice from a
trainer/behaviourist Gill White and others.
