Hi again, thought i would give you all an update. Ollie my now 9 week old pup has settled in fine, we decided to get rid of the crate and give him the run of our kitchen which he seems to love. We have had no whining etc since the 3rd night. During the day all his business is done outside and through the night obviously he has to go and does so on the paper. He has met a few other dogs from the family and although they dont all enjoy his playfulness they get on great! Thanks to everyone who has offered KIND advice. No doubt i will now be a regular on here.
