I decided to get a puppy without truly knowing a lot about dogs.
I had somebody propose a particular genre of puppy chow and the other necessary things.
I needed a doggy bed, puppy pads, and dishes for food and water. Also, I l earned that dogs enjoy to chew on stuff, so if you don’t supply them with chew toys, they will chew on other things in your home that they should not be chewing on, enjoy the legs of your bedroom table! Well, since the people I was with and I have hardwood floors in our home, I decided I didn’t want the dog peeing and pooping on those floors, so I kept the puppy gated in the bedroom until he was completely potty trained. It was a long and aggravating process for sure. I also felt exhausting because I thought maybe the pup was too cold in the bedroom area. I mean he had his dog bed, so I thought maybe that would be enough, but I ended up giving him a blanket. For several days he would whine because he wanted to cuddle up, but still he had too several accidents for myself and others to let him wander free in the house. When I had some friends over, they told myself and others I was doing the process wrong. They said the dog had to be correctly punished for pooping or peeing on the floor. I had to obviously shove the dog’s nose in the poop or pee so he would learn not to do that again. I didn’t enjoy doing that, but it entirely was effective. I also had a ductless mini cut Heating and A/C installed for zones in the bedroom, living room and our bedroom. I wanted the dog to be extra cozy in the bedroom with a current Heating and A/C. My buddies thought I was crazy for doing that for our dog, but I did it for myself and others too!
