Hi all. New here and this is my first post. I got a whippet pup in the last few days. He's just 8 weeks old and I could use a bit of help fom experienced dog owners.
First, when is the right time to start leash training?
Second, he's obviously not house trained. In lieu of this, is he too young to have sleep outside? He's the only dog we have so he'd be on his own. The area is warm and comfortable but I'm worried that he might feel isolated being so young. Then again, if he sleeps inside he'd be down stairs and on his own anyway. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chopper
