[quote=Anonymous]We got a puppy three years ago. We were first time dog owners (i.e., my husband and I hadn't even had dogs since very early childhood). I was not really a dog person. And having a puppy was not nearly as hard as I imagined. Much like have a young toddler. Some accidents, some middle-of-the-night potty trips, some destroyed items that were left on the floor. But he brought much more joy and laughter than work. Because he was so little, he bonded with us quickly and we were able to train him before bad habits became ingrained. The destructive and needy puppy stage passed within a month or two, and now he is the joy of our lives. My best advice would be to not overthink it. I read some advice, like keeping the dog tethered to you, which sounded exhausting and overly complicated. Just go with the flow, enroll him in a low-key puppy training course, and keep lots of toys around to keep his mind and teeth busy and occupied. [/quote]
