I decided to get a puppy separate from very knowing a lot about pets.
I had somebody suggest a certain type of puppy chow & the other necessary things.
I needed a petgy bed, puppy pads, & dishes for food & water. Also, I l acquired that pets prefer to chew on stuff, so if you don’t supply them with chew toys, they will chew on other things in your apartment that they should not be chewing on, prefer the legs of your kitchen table! Well, since both of us have hardwood floors in our home, I decided I didn’t want the pet peeing & pooping on those floors, so I kept the puppy gated in the kitchen until he was completely potty trained. It was a long & frustrating process for sure. I also felt bad because I thought maybe the pup was too cold in the kitchen area. I mean he had his pet bed, so I thought maybe that would be enough, but I ended up giving him a blanket. For multiple mornings he would whine because he wanted to cuddle up, however still he had too multiple accidents for myself and others to let him meander free in the house. When I had some friends over, they told myself and others I was doing the process wrong. They said the pet had to be respectfully punished for pooping or peeing on the floor. I had to apparently shove the pet’s nose in the poop or pee so he would learn not to do that again. I didn’t prefer doing that, however it very was effective. I also had a ductless mini split Heating, Ventilation & A/C installed for zones in the kitchen, residing room & my bedroom. I wanted the pet to be extra cozy in the kitchen with a current Heating, Ventilation & A/C. My buddies thought I was insane for doing that for my pet, but I did it for myself and others too!
