Moms with fur babies! She’s 9.5 weeks old and I’m not sure where to start! I think she’s too little to potty train. We have her in the crate tonight and she is just whining non stop. Any tips/advice would be appreciated!

We crate trained our dogs when they were little pups. They will cry but I put a blanket over the crates so they couldn't see me or anything because if they see they will whine. And for potty training we let them run in the yard until they went pee or poop it's a pain at first but after the first few weeks of taking them outside they knew that is where they needed to go to do their business.
What an adorable little fuzzy baby! When my border collie was still a puppy, we crate trained him. We lived in an apartment, top floor, it sucked but he got a hang of it after a bit. Even trained us to know when he had to go potty, he would paw the door. I hope it works out! They may whine and you'll feel bad, but praise the heck out of them when they do their business outside and you'll feel much better!!!
We did crate train but would get up during the night and take puppy out to potty
Don't use pee pads!!!! If you start letting her use those in the house it will teach her it's okay to potty in the house and it will confuse her in the long run. You can do your own research on that but I highly suggest not doing that. A puppy that young usually needs to go out every hour for the first few weeks until they get the hang of outside. Every 4 weeks of life she can hold it for about an hour. So she should be able to hold it for around 2, but that doesn't mean she will. Scolding for accidents isn't helpful. If she does have one, immediately bring her outside to potty. I have a lot of tips if you need any help. 💜 She is going to cry in the crate. I'd recommend moving it in your room so she can hear you. Crate training will help with potty training and it will help once she gets to her chewing phase. You'll wake up to accidents and some chewed items inevitably without it. You can put a dirty tshirt that smells like you in there and that should help a lot as well. They're basically like brand new babies for a while. I didn't sleep the first few months I brought my little fur bean home.
Potty train now, no pads or shell go anywhere that looks like one, blankets pillows ect. Also I know this sounds horrible but it works, dont run your dogs nose in the poo, simply bring them to the spot spank them on the but and place the poo in a bag and tie it around their neck. Leave it for about five minutes, as much as we dont want them going to the bathroom in the house they dont want to wear it. The most I had to use this trick was 3, my dog is stubborn, but I have broken many dogs of using the bathroom in the house with this trick and it works fast. For crate training, give her enough space to stand, walk in a circle and lay down. Give something that smells like her, you and something to chew. Use the same commands for the crate, for example my dog knows kennel up. Use the same commands, dont change them or shell get confused. Lastly have one person be the main person, like with my dog, I trained her, then let everyone know the commands or hand signals as she was learning them. I started with verbal commands then added hand signals after she learned how to sit and what not. Now I I just have to say her name and show her a sign and she knows what to do..
