Hello FBN members. I'm new here. My girlfriend and I are close to picking up our 8 week old male French Bulldog.
We have a crate as well as a pen ready to go for him but wanted to know whether when he goes in for the night: should we close the door on his crate or leave it open for him in case he needs to use the puppy pads during the night.
The owner/breeder says he currently sleeps through the night but in case he is in shock from the move, we wanted him to have the option to be able to use the pads instead of going in his create.
We could get him a larger crate with an area for a pad but don't want to encourage him evacuating in the crate.
Your thoughts and experiences are much appreciated.
