Background: I'm getting an 8 week old GSD puppy in a few weeks. I live in North Carolina, and there are plenty of ticks around. If you stray off the path, you need to check yourself for ticks. The pup will be exercised outside, but otherwise will be in the kitchen and/or crate. I'd like to familiarize her with the woods surrounding our home, but doing so essentially guarantees that ticks will try to climb aboard.
Question: Should I stick to the lawn and avoid the woods for a few weeks/months, or is it OK to apply Frontline to such a young puppy?
Thanks much...

Thanks very much Connie, I should have been able to figure that one out myself. I'm doing a "quick reply" to your posting. Does this mean that it goes only to you?
I see you're on-line right now, so I'll pile on with another question. Should a puppy who will be in a crate while I'm at work have water in the crate? Same question for an adolescent/adult dog?

No. Quick Reply does mean it's addressed to the last poster on the thread, but it's still public.
Probably yes. How long are you gone? All day?
I give free water, and the only time I would consider picking up the water dish might be if I had a pup who was peeing a lot during the night.
So you are talking about dogs who can hold it for the time you are away, or who have someone stopping in to let them pee?
Right now I want to know what to do with an 8 week old puppy.
My wife and children will be off work/school for the summer, so leaving the pup in a crate during my work day will (by design) not happen until she is a couple of months old.
So based on what you said and what is in Ed Frawley's videos, I should probably not leave the water in overnight, or during the day when we are gone for a few hours...at least until she is housebroken.
I agree with you that NOT leaving the puppy/dog water once it is potty trained would not be cool. If I do leave an older pup water, and it breaks its previously-established housetraining succes, I could re-evaluate this plan.
