Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm very excited about getting a gorgeous Staffy pup, although it won't be for a while =( My best mate is breeding her two Staffy's so I'm stoked to be able to bring home a pup that I know comes from two fantastic parents! I can't wait!

Hi, I'm currently doing some research on crate training while I'm waiting on my new Staffy pup to be ready.. There's so much information and I think I may be confusing myself a little! Can someone please help me clarify whether or not I should be shutting pup in the crate on that first night? Some people say don't close the door on the puppy until they've associated it with positive experiences through the use of feeding, toys and lots of praise but how is the few hours between picking the puppy up from the breeder and bed time enough time to develop the feeling of security in the crate? Am I just over thinking it? Thanks =)
