Last night he slept in his crate alone for the first time and apparently he didn't make a peep. Right now however the little guy is barking his head off. I don't know what the difference between last night and tonight is. I just hope it's growing pains.
We've switched back to the collar for his walks after much debate. The girlfriend feels we can control him better and he'll learn to follow our lead quicker, but I'm concerned that he'll cause irreparable damage to his trachea because he becomes so driven when he sees somewhere he wants to go. It's funny because it may seem like I'm the softie, but when he acts out, I'm more ruthless and punitive whereas the girlfriend is secretly petting him as I hold his head and scold him.
He's come a long way from when he was a small pup. He's about 20 lbs and can walk up and down stairs now. He's also becoming more brazen in his antics at night. I'll call them "night terrors" since he terrorizes the family at night. Little baby Osama. Puppy Jihad.
