Hi there, I want to respond to the question about getting a new puppy. We have recently purchased not 1 but 2 Newfie pups! Yes, we are CRAZY. Someone before mentioned Biljac for training treats and our pups absolutely love them. We break them in half and I have them in my pockets all the time. We also crate train our dogs and we had small crates and then have worked up to larger ones. i bought them at garage sales for a reasonable price. Our breeder sent the girls home with pieces of towels that were in the whelping box and I think that really helped them not feel so anxious. They cried for the first 2-3 nights, and I mean HOWLED at being in their crates, but we were firm and now at 11 weeks, if we tell them to go to their beds, they go and get in their own crate. We also clipped on a small fan so it blows on them at night and they really seem to like that. I hope this helps.
