Hi thank you for your response. My son is 8 and Flo is 13 weeks and a Cavapoo. My husband had dogs when he was growing up but I've never had one so it's all new to me!! I have finally managed to find a puppy training class which we start next week so hopefully that will help. We have always used a crate for her but she likes to be around us and the crate is in the kitchen for night time so Ive brought a big dog cushion and have started to train her to sit on that when she is in the lounge with us. He still finds her to unpredictable but I am hoping as she gets older/trained that will become less of a problem. Thank you for your advice x

Hi everyone - I've not posted on this forum before but have used it many times for advice, hopefully someone may be able to help me. We have just recently (after many months of discussion!!) brought a puppy into our family. Our DS seems to like her but only if she does exactly what he wants - sleep when he wants her to is the biggest issue. I understand that it's a massive upheaval for him - it's always just been the him, me and Daddy and he's always been the centre of our world. At the moment we are living seperate lives, me in the garden with the dog and Daddy in the house with him. He's always struggled a bit with things that are unpredictable and she is certainly that, he just cant relax when she is around. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems and could give any advice. Thanks in advance xx
