9 weeks & 6 days old

Baby NN is 9 weeks and 6 days old today~ She is getting better in terms of her whining. Toned down QUITE alot, no longer sharp piercing barking/whining/crying. I tried getting her to sleep together with me in my bedroom (she's in her crate of course), she didn't wake up at 6am crying!!! :) I got more sleep as a matter of fact. She's been trying I know. I trained her throughout the weekend when I'm not working. I put her in the crate, when she make noise, I go into the room and close the door. When she stops for 1 minute, I go over pick her up and gave her a small treat. I repeated this and prolonged the time frame (2 mins, 3 mins, etc). She started to get the hang of it and I'm pleased! Poodles are really clever dogs!

However, I think its the problem with the treats I bought, she starts to have really loose and soft stools now till the extent of watery sometimes. :(

Her diet is the same, she's feeding on ANF Puppy Hollistic as instructed by the breeder. I stopped giving her treats now and only giving her lots of praises when she does something right. I will be bringing her to the vet if it doesn't stop tomorrow.

In addition, she stinks now due to the stepping of her poo all over in her crate. I have been researching and watching youtube videos on how to handle and bathe such a small puppy, especially when she is wriggly, like  a worm!

She is starting to get more submissive now, she rolls onto her back to allow me to tickle her and brush her~ Although at times there are still some soft whinings, I don't reprimand her very much for it cos its getting softer~

She's in the teething period now and she really loves to bite my fingers whenever I pick her up. I don't know what I can do to make it better except to say a very loud NO! when she does that.

I'm trying very very hard to be a good mama to NN! Jiayou!!!
