New puppy unhappy

[MurphysMinder]

I suspect they misunderstood the vet who probably meant not to take it out where other dogs are, not to take it out at all.
Not sure how a crate could come with instructions, it would all depend on what the purchaser was planning on using it for. Anyway as said before, the pup will hopefully find a good home now, which is the main thing.

cages dont need to come with instructions - people need to read up before they buy puppies This sounds like the blind leading the blind. Sorry but they smarting at the cost of the 'chrome cage' but willing to pay £800 for the pup in the first place? The cost of the pup is just the mere beginning. Thank goodness the pup has gone to a rescue and next time a neighbour or friend needs help with a puppy perhaps point them in the direction of someone who actually knows a thing a two As someone else said, anyone can be a dog owner, it doesn't make you a dog person.

Ya boo, for sure I won't come on here for advice or ideas in future, I was told to get instructions from Cala, so there can be instructions, I did not sell them the cage, it was their vet, the costs involved vet fees travel [550 miles round trip] donation to Rescue Center and so on.
I think my advice to them was good, I would not have bought the pup to begin with, and I would not allow it to sleep, pee or poo anywhere, but in designated areas, I would have put it out in the yard as soon as it woke up. I think this is as far as one can go when advising people, or do you think I should have told them they were morons [see previoous posters], and too old for a dog?, my God some people will be lobbying for a dog owning test next.
They arranged the purchase of the pup, not me.

Ditto.

People go out & buy an unsuitable dog without researching what they are getting or realising their own limitations.
They may be an excellent home for an older dog rather than a puppy and if they had gone to a reputable breeder they would probably have been steered towards breed rescue.
As it is the breed rescue will get this puppy into a suitable home.

yup, right with you there vizslak! As for Caylas crate training guide, Ive not seen it yes, I suspect it's fab. That, however is different from crates coming with 'instructions' and for anyone who thinks otherwise, I believe therein lies the problem
