Hi. We have a new doodle too! His name is Biscuit. Biscuit sleeps a lot. When he's up I keep him on his leash or in our puppy pen. Off the carpet. He has had a couple accidents in his puppy pen. My fault, once I learned his signals we have been fine. I am starting to learn his cues to go outside. So, we are doing pretty good.
When he has playtime, I guess he usually is active for about 20 minutes. Then, I notice he gets very bitey. That's when I take him outside again and we try to go for a quick walk. A tired dog is a happy dog.
I have not let him out in the house. When he's not under supervision, I put him in his crate. I don't give in to cries. And, I don't even look at him. It's hard but he is beginning to get used to his crate.
My biggest challenge is my kids. The do not put Biscuit down. The dog is carried around and passed from kid to kid. He just lays in their arms enjoying every moment. Anyways, I am chatting.
Good luck with your puppy.
