Hi everyone,

I am the proud owner of a new Bernese puppy named Bella! She just turned 9 weeks old and is a busy, busy girl! We are having quite an adjustment at our house, as everyone does with a new puppy. She is at that stage where she wants to chew our fingers, toes and clothes all the time, so we are trying to work on that (if you have any suggestions, I would welcome them!). I was very excited to see today's post about crate training, as we are starting this and it is a challenge! Great ideas, by the way. There is a lot of great experience on this site. I've been reading the posts and I am learning a lot already about Bella and how to raise her. I hope to learn a lot more!
