Hi Anna >>I bought "Puppy's First Steps" by the Faculty of the Cummings Schoold of Vet. Med at Tufts University. The book is totally positive reinforcement based and is the first book that I've read that said that it's okay to let the puppy or dog sleep with you. Sounds like a book I'd like and one I am not familiar with. I know the Sirius and Karen Pryor book which are also good.
Sushi, the Pom also slept with us - with his little crate on the bed at first so I would hear if he asked to go out. He is 7 months old and definitely prefers to potty outside. I think with little dogs the most important aspect is to take them outside often and regularly. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
