Puppy love is real—but so is puppy chaos! 🐾💥
Bringing a puppy home is magical, but let’s be honest—it can also feel overwhelming. The puppy blues hit when you realize just how much care they need. Constant toilet breaks, sleepless nights, and the “what have I done?” moment are more common than you think.
But don’t worry—you’re not alone! With time, patience, and support, you’ll build an amazing bond. 💛
Here are some tips to help along the way:
🐶 Bond through play – It’s how they connect and learn to trust you.
🏠 Puppy-proof your home – Hide shoes, cables, and anything chewable.
🎾 Train early, keep it fun – Start with simple things like following a treat. Little wins build confidence!
🛏️ Crate training helps – It teaches rest, builds independence, and is great for toilet training.
🦷 Puppy biting is normal – Redirect to a toy, keep calm, and let them nap if they’re getting too wild.
Raising a puppy takes effort, but it’s so worth it. Get in touch with Cathy if you would like some support in your puppy training journey! One day that little whirlwind will be your calm, loyal best friend. 🐕💕
