not to be dramatic, but ive never met cashew and i already love her
I wish you could all meet her!! I feel like I’m just so in love I try to tone it down on social media but I’m just the happiest dog owner
But who doesn’t love dogs?
Young Plum exactly
@@HealthNutNutrition Exactly; Young Plum and Qt_maram are right. Everyone loves a puppy!
Young Plum a dumb person
When I got my dog, for the first 3 months I was like: why I got her. But right now my dog is 7 years old and I would not be able to live without her.
They bring so much happiness and joy into your life! 😊
Omg same I was like I can’t anymore but then things got better 😭
omg same and I felt so like bad for having those thoughts? but then I saw that I wasn't alone and it rly made me feel better. Nevertheless now she's almost 11 months and I love her to death
Right now we have a puppy...it's so difficult managing her... getting those same thoughts as to why we brought her.... because of the peeing issues but also my brother loves her....so we are gelling with her...can you help a lil bit with peeing training and how to deal with it
@@medico__turtle the tipp I can give u is literally just patience and persistence. don't worry it will get better soon. I promise
The way she's sleeping on your lap!! Puppylicious.
☺️💛
Me getting a puppy: ...
Her: YOU WILL BE HOUSE BOUND
Me: Finally the pros to quarantine
Worst part is we were planing to get a puppy even without the lockdown but the lockdown made it impossible to find dogs. We found a puppy eventually though. :)
Mr.jf4s7 lol yes!!!
Thanks!
Mr.jf4s7 no problem
Perfect time to get a puppy! He’s gonna be so sad when I go back to work lol
@@jusmejaussyb8237 the pups will defiantly get confused when there suddenly not surrounded by people
All this is true lol. Even though my puppy was super cute, the first 3 weeks were miserable. He bit everything, ate anything, wouldn't listen, and peed everywhere. He's 5 months now and my bestest friend. My depression and anxiety has all about vanished after the first month. He's the best cuddle buddy, silliest goofball, and friendliest pup I've ever met. I love him so much.
Aww I hope when I get a puppy they will be safe and happy and become best friends
That’s amazing to hear ❤️
If you take water away a few hours before bed and then take them out right before bed and then put them in crate to sleep you and then right away in the morning you won't have those middle of the night potty break
Do you not get thirsty during the night and wake up in the middle of the night for a quick glass of water? So why should we take that away from dogs? They get thirsty at night too.
@@KiranSingh-es2ot I mean sure but as long as they are hydrated throughout the day it will be ok. It's just so that the first couple of weeks you can teach them not to go at night and also not in their crate or house. :)
Do not remove water. Period. This can cause dehydration and other issues. This is NOT how you potty train a puppy.
@@savannamackie3720 you can't train them to NOT go at night. Puppies that are young can only hold in their bladder for 3-4 hours depending on how many months they are (eg. 2 month old puppy can hold their bladder for 3 hours). So no, do not leave them thirsty at night. Just do your job and wake up and take responsibility! You will feed a baby at any time of the night depending on how hungry they are..so do the same for your puppy and give them water when they need it
Quick note:
I have a 2 year old beagle mix.
When we first got her we made sure she had a drink before she went to bed then took her out to go potty.
We put her in her crate at night (and still do she feels safe in it)
And she had no water all night and still never has water at night.
In the morning we would take her out of the crate and outside then back inside where water was avalible right outside her crate.
It IS possible for a puppy to go the whole night with no water. ESPECIALLY if you play with them close to bed time so they're tired out.
Puppies sleep ALOT and have alot of growing to do.
My dog has never had an accident in her crate.
And not giving her access to water over night has done her no harm at all as she has water avalible to her the rest of the day that gets refilled often.
I know it's a controversial topic on if dogs should have access to water or not at night.
But aslong as your puppy is properly hydrated they CAN last the night with no water.
When my dog as a puppy she often went most of the day without drinking (she had access to water. She was asleep for the majority of the day and all night especially as a 8 week old)
Me awake at 2 am because my dog started whimpering because he missed me 😂😭😭 I've only had him for 3 days yet it feels like I've known her for months 🥺
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE HER LOTS OF ALONE TIME!!!
Blubber Fish Jr yeah it’s important they learn to be alone sometimes
Literally! I had mine for 3 weeks but feels like I had him for like 30 years😂😂
Is ur pup a girl or a boy?
Does ur dog go by he/her 💀
I’m allergic to cashews but definitely not allergic to this one she is so adorable
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol
I used to be allergic to cashews I dunno what happened but now I eat them all the time
You can see how much love Cashew brought to you. She looks so sweet.
Thanks Sarah! 😊
Guys Jesus Christ is coming back ! Turn away from ur sins , repent ! Turn away from ur wicked ways . And ask yourself “ am I truly living for God ? Or the world. “2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ( remember what God did for guilty sinners ! He died for us ! Jesus Christ died for us ! We disobeyed God , on judgement day he will judge us for what we did on earth . But if u accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, God can let u go ! Bc Jesus Christ died for us ! He paid the price ! U don’t have to go to hell ! Jesus is the only way ! Repent and trust in Jesus
@@jesusistheonlyway2636 heal me let my inner demons out
It’s a 13-15 year commitment. Crazy expensive vet bills. I have an English bulldog so ya it’s an expense but I ♥️ him
Not only with a puppy, when you get dog, your live will revolve around them. I live alone so I have to plan everything I do around his schedule. He is almost 4 yrs old so he can stay alone, but not all day. It takes planning :) and sacrifices.But the love you get.. that is special :)
Dependency is not live.
She is ADORABLE !!!! For your downstairs crate, make sure you are leaving it open when you are hanging out watching TV. Keep the crate where you are, don't put it in another area where the puppy may feel that it's being segregated. We had the problem with our dog, he wouldn't get NEAR his crate because I had it in the to her room. I moved it to our family room where we watch TV and hang out the most and I actually got in the crate and shut the door so he could see it's ok to go in. That very night, we were watching TV and he went in and laid down on his own. They learn to really love it
A blanket over their crate is a life saver! Takes my 12 week puppy 5 minutes to quiet down/ fall asleep, but if i don’t have a blanket over it he will cry for 30+ minutes
I have three dogs, and I agree with this. Especially being up in the middle of the night. It's very common to regret buying a puppy at first, but that goes away once routines are established and everything settles down.
I live with a persian cat, she's 19 months now, I don't remember my life before her, she's the best girl in the world! I wanted a cat ALL my life, and finally at 43 I found my precious girl! My life now is full of joy (and hair everywhere)!
Cat's are so much better then dogs in every way.
I completely relate. My two cats are my world. I never truly truly loved before my two babies came into my life. One is a blue torty and one is a ragdoll.
@@cheralynmiller847 I would love to have 10 cats, but my husband would divorce me probably!
Ambee Gaming I think they are equally as good
Cats suck
I’m getting a puppy and the corona virus thing is here so I have 6 months to be home with it and train it won’t be worried about his exercises
Morgan Z. OMG I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION ! WoW that’s actually kinda cool haha
Morgan Z. Make sure you are still socializing them! This blog has some good ideas during these times : dogdefined.com/blog/young-puppy-socialization-in-the-time-of-covid-19/?fbclid=IwAR0AtIzOibpbpD_u2G0_gVc-FS_zAIz0n_MmOXH8odMNBXy4K37m3buXLf0
Maya Mulder oh yes I will be spending my days with him. And every minutes
Ghita Laassel we could be besties how old r u lol
Morgan Z. In order to properly socialize them you need to introduce your puppy to all sorts of other people and dogs
I think some people stress the hard parts and responsibilities of having a puppy too much and then others stress the happy go-lucky side too much, but I think you did a really good job with balancing the two. This was very helpful! I’m getting my miniature schnauzer in 2 weeks and am sooooo excited because I’ve been wanting a puppy my whole life!
Me and my family just got a baby yorkie. I'm 13 and basically, all the responsibility is on me, since I'm the one who was begging for years. Honestly, sometimes I question if it was a good choice but I know that when he grows up and is trained, then we'll be best friends.
I've been wanting a dog for like six years and its finally happening in two months im so exited.
Sreehamsi Koganti did you get your puppy/dog?
I‘ve wanted a puppy for 9 years and I finally got mine 6 days ago and I got the puppy blues n regret getting him so much lmao😭
(Btw I’m keeping him) BUTTT this really showed me that Puppy’s aren’t it for me like after this pup I’ll never get a puppy again I’ll only adopt old dogs and I’m so serious about it
Sameee
Im getting a goldfish.. im so excited to Learn him to breath, Air.
When I got my first goldfish it was alive then when I got home he died
@@tiana66 dude same, my mum got me a goldfish when I asked for a dog and less than 24hrs later he jumped out of the tank.... Poor thing ☹️
@@Tweetypi16 wtf
@@vivzey I know dude. I made him a little funeral and a marked grave in my garden...
When I got my goldfish let me tell you I got a second one and it was quite gross
I put it into my bedroom and I was like where the heck did it go
I looked at my cat and she kinda eaten it. So I took it away from my cat mouth
This is why I don't like fish they die easily.
I feel like quarantine is the best time to get a new puppers because I’m gonna be home all day
That's exactly why I'm watching this vid! I've been considering it ! :D
I just got mine 2 days ago for this exact reason
Wax Almighty it is the best thing I’ve ever done, had Chico a month now and my heart couldn’t be fuller... DO IT!
Cat Graham me and my mom have been looking at adoption websites all day I can’t get enough cuteness
Wax Almighty so true
I have two dogs -- Nala and Luna. We rescued both when they were puppies & they make our life complete. It was very difficult having a 1 year old dog and a new puppy, but somehow we managed lol! They are best friends and it is such a joy to see them play and snuggle together.
Thank you for all the reminders. I haven’t had a puppy in 16 years and I needed all the reminders! Great video! Hugs to Cashew! I’ll be following her!
OMG!! I have been watching many videos this week as my puppy arrives this morning and this has been THE MOST USEFUL!!! Thank you so much as I am a practical person and this has helped me look at the common knowledge things at a different angle and can make better decisions 🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜
How are you doing with your puppy now?
We got our dalmation puppy in August last year and I can so relate to everything in this video (except for the first thing, our puppy could already hold his pee the whole night when we got him). Our dog has been such a good influence on our relationship and he made us so much happier.
Tip #7 is my absolute favorite!! Getting a puppy is overwhelming because you don’t want to do anything wrong for them and there’s SO much contradicting information-but like you said you will know what works for YOUR puppy ☺️
#10 automatically deletes the other 9😊. You are a responsable human towards your dog hence kudos to you! Cash is adorable, may you love each other for many years to come!
Ok lets do this... gets to step 1: You will loose sleep.... oh no!!!
I know right lolll
Leo I already lose so much sleep
So loose
Leo yea when I first got a puppy I was like oh okay maybe stay up for a few minutes a night BUT NO you will be asleep and you will wake up to them crying and your freaking out cause you are wondering what’s wrong but all they want is to go pee real quick
I do this without a dog!!😂... I go to sleep at like 1 or 2am!!
Is there anything you can’t do. You’re such an awesome role model. So calm cool collected. Go girl!
My family has a 7 year old cat and I didn't understand how much of a gift she's been to my life until I moved out. I now only see her on the occasions that I visit my parents in my hometown but she fills my life with so much joy every time I do
Awe!! I bet you can't wait to get your own some day!
Cashew is adorable!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Having two small dogs, they are the best thing that came into my life
Awe! Thanks Carrie!
My boyfriend and his family got a french bulldog puppy almost a year ago when I was on holiday. As soon as I got back I helped raised that baby and a few months later they got another one for a friend, those babies have been my LIFE and I don’t even live with them. After a year of understanding how much work a puppy is and learning through those gorgeous babies I have bought my own and can not wait to get him💙 I understand the work and the tiredness but the love and companionship is something I’ve been longing for 12 years and I can’t wait 🥰
I have seen this video in my suggested to watch so many times but I have been waiting to watch all the baby Cashew content until I was getting my own dog (which I have been wanting for some time). It is FINALLY happening next month and I cannot wait!! Its been fun diving into your older videos :) and I will definitely be doing some shopping on the healthnut shop!
There was a puppy I've just taken in called amanthi!! She's a gorgeous little thing and was found in a plastic bag on the side of the road and needed a home! I thought I'd try and give her the best I could possibly give her... Need to go to the vet and get full details on her but this video clarified alot of things for me, I'm travelling and only 20 years old so it's like having a child for me, a huge responsibility and Im so thankful for her company :) thanks for the video x
Her: you will be up a lot at night
Me: me up at 2:00 am eating potato chips “Yes you are correct.”
can i have sum 😂😭😭
Its 1am on a sun while I'm watching this lol
Hi Nik! I love your channel especially now with Cashew!!! Consistency is the key!!! Good luck to you and Matt! I love your toy basket, can you share where is it from? Thanks!!!❤️🐾🐕
She’s so cute!! 😍
Toys can get expensive, I go to goodwill and buy a lot of stuffed animals there, I wash them and give them to my dog! ❤️😘
I wish everyone the happiest lives they could live. You deserve it. You’re worth something, don’t ever doubt it.
We have three pups. Two huskies (Shadow and Mishka) and a golden retriever (Hope). All girls and about cat Loki. It's a full house, but I love them all. There's nothing like sweet little eyes looking into your soul. Your life will be full of surprises and fun! And you will know exactly what your girl needs. 🙂
This was helpful advice and great reminders for being a puppy mom again. Cashew is adorable!! I'll be sure to check-in with vets and local pet stores for recommendations.
These are all so true. I got my puppy like 2 week ago and it’s rlly fun but hard. He’s Alr potty trained and knows how to sit. Tmr is his first Shot and shower. At first I was so annoyed and wanted to return him really bad but now I’m addicted to him. He’s sleeping on me right now and it’s so cute
Our mastiff toilet trained very quickly! Faster than any other dog I've ever owned! Cashew is soooo cute!
This video is so helpful! We are getting our first puppy in June! I can't wait. Can you do a video on the first things you will need to buy before getting a puppy??? Thanks girl!
how did that go?
To get, my extensively researched list:
Harness
Interactive Toys
Teething Toys
Plush Toys
Treat-Releasing Toys
Fetch/Tug Toys
Dog Food Container
Bitter Puppy Spray
Food Bowl
Water Bowl
Travel Water Bottle
Poo Bags+Holder
Puppy Bed
Identification Tag
Puppy Brush
Toothbrush + Toothpaste
Puppy Shampoo + Conditioner
Cleaning Supplies
Nail Clippers
Toy Box
A couple of these things, like the Toy Box and Dog Food Container and Bitter Puppy Spray, are optional. However, I recommend all of them, as they help organization and other things.
@@savannahdragons3282 thank you for the list 💕
We have a black and tan hound mix puppy that we got from a rescue. Her name is Athena. She is just like having a second child and quickly bonded with our son, they are best buds! I can't imagine life without her now! ❤🐕
Awe! Great name 😊
I haven’t even met cashew but I love her already and it’s my first time watching these vids and I’m in love with cashew
Thank you for talking about the expenses of having a dog! So many people get pets on a whim and are then shocked when they realize that pets cost money!
Me my brother and my dad are getting a dog today! We’re so excited but sadly I’m having to go back to college in March but thankfully my dad will be at home most of the time and my relatives near a few houses away so they can look after her if need be. We’re nervous for the journey but so so excited!
I'm so glad I found this video. I freaked out when I first tried to have a pet but now I'm ready to try again. I'm ready. Your video was helpful and relatable!
Yes! Puppies are amazing. But if you are going to be the only one taking care of your little pup (what I mean by that is taking care of your pup is taking him on walks, taking him out to use the bathroom, playing with him, picking up his poop, giving him baths, brushing his hair, training him, giving him food, giving him water, cleaning out his bowls, cleaning up his accidents etc. I said his cause my puppy is a his) then I really hope you are not busy because they do require high maintenance. And don’t leave them alone for to long because they can get separation anxiety or boredom. That’s why me and my brother both take care of my 8 month old mini poodle that we got 4 months ago. Of course I love but at times it can be hard...
Thank you so much 😁! I am getting puppy very soon and that helped me a lot.
I got a pup because we lost our dog suddenly, and my baby was 3 months old when we first got him. I went CRAZY the first few weeks, it was so hard. We are so lucky he adapted so quickly. He’s a St. Bernard/Bernese/Pyrenees so we’re thankful he’s big dog laid back and has a huge bladder 😊❤️
smaller dogs have smaller bladders
... something to think about for anyone thinking of getting a puppy.
I've got 4 babies so needless to say I've got my hands full but your pup is adorable*👌👍
omg shes so freaking adorable, can't wait to get a puppy. definitely waiting a few more years tho
My cat's called Logan, he just turned 3. I adopted him in early September and I don't know how we'd be getting through self-isolation without him! He's our biggest source of entertainment throughout the day!!
I have a yorkshire puppy! But I have dogs since I was a child. It's my second yorkshire, and I had a boxer too. They are very cuddly. Congratulations! It is an amazing experience.
Yorkies are so cute!!
@@HealthNutNutrition , I love yorkies and boxers. The Boxer it's a very good dog, they are very protective. My mum it was like a mum for him, and when we were at home and he didn't see her he searches around the house. But right now I live in an apartment, yorkies are better to keep things in order at home due to its size.
Your video was so informative. I’m getting my puppy in about three months and can’t wait
I am getting a German shepherd puppy tomorrow!😍 All throughout lockdown (1st and 2nd) I have studied, and it all leads up to this point. Can't wait!
I was shopping for my new puppy and I saw these puppy teething treats that looked great!! They are very good for puppies and improve their health!
I’m getting a new puppy in a month and I have had other dogs but it’s been 6 years almost seven since I’ve had a puppy and this helped sooo much
I was super lucky that my dog Charlie slept 8+ hours from day 2 and now she sleeps until I get up and she just follows my lead.
Your so lucky! My puppy went to sleep at 9 and woke up at 1. She’s such a handful 😂!
@@seokiia5756
Yes I'm very lucky, she is the best dog ever. :)
When she was younger I developed this routine: Before She went to bed I would brush her coat & teeth and put her to bed, at the same time everyday. I think dogs benefit a lot from routines. After a while, when I started brushing her in the evening, she would already fall asleep on my lap because the brain knows whats coming. It's a bit like the pavlov effect, where the dogs start drooling when they hear the bell. With a 'bedtime routine' the brain starts releasing sleep hormones at the same time everyday and together with some actions like brushing, the brain knows it's time to sleep.
Maybe a little tip: If you pup wakes you up at night, put her outside for the 'buisness' and put her back in her sleeping spot. NO playing, NO talking (If you are still potty training, praising is allowed) and put her straight back. Don't give any attention and ignore her, go back to bed. I don't know how old she is but older puppies should be able to sleep more than 8 hours at once. They need to learn because in the nest they would all wake each other up at night to do their thing and play. Puppy needs to learn new routines. Goodluck :) Sorry for the novel lol
I have a cat (had two actually, but one got old and died) and I think cats are the best pets (for me at least). They are cute and hilarious, they want to cuddle with you and talk to you. And they are just so little work - they use the toilet on their own (you just need to show them once) and you don't need to discipline them because they do what they want anyway 😆 I love how independent they are. The only downside is that you can't take them anywhere because they like to stay at their place.
Tip #7 is my absolute favorite!! Getting a puppy is overwhelming because you don’t want to do anything wrong for them and there’s SO much contradicting information-but like you said you will know what works for YOUR puppy ️
Getting a French Bulldog in June! This was very helpful, as we are trying to prepare our home for our new addition.
We are getting a dog in a few days and this really helps
this was so helpful! im thinking of getting a puppy and this has definitely made me think more about it
Hi! I'm new to your channel and am LOVING it! Cashew is adorable!! I'm 32 and have always had dogs around me, but I'm finally ready (and contemplating) to get a dog. So when I saw the title of your video I had to watch it.
If she starts chewing on harder surfaces she might benefit from a Nylabone...Puppies will sometimes seek out hard (sometimes wood) surfaces to chew while teething if they don't have some sort of bone. They can help strengthen and clean their teeth, easier to digest as well. It's the only type of "bone" I would give my dog. Can't wait to see her grow!!!
Thanks for watching Scott!! 🐾
Thank you for this video, it was so informational! My family and I are also looking to bring a puppy into our home so this was extremely helpful.
I have 4 kids including twins who were preemies, and right now im taking care of 3 7 week old puppies. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow. They are definitely like babies but much easier because I can crate them instead of golding and nursing them 24/7
Thank you! This video was so helpful! Cashew is SO cute ☺️
Yes puppies need a lot of attention. My dog is 9 years old and he still demands attention all the time but I love it.
Cashew is the cutest dog in the world it just fills my heart that she loves u and u guys love her it’s just so sweet I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Where did you get your toy box from? It’s adorable and so is Cashew!
We got my puppy at the end of May and until the end of summer I had to get up at 5:00am every morning😴. Worth it🥰
Loving your puppy vlogs and videos! You guys look so genuinely happy with her 💛💛🥑
Thank you so much lady!! It’s been such a joy to have cashew in our life ☺️
@@HealthNutNutrition you can tell 💛💛 so sweet!
So adorable and some really realistic tips here for anyone thinking about getting a new puppy 🥰
Everything you said is on point. I just got my Shih Tzu puppy and he is a handful, but I LOVE him
For anyone who has a new pup or planning on get one (or several), here is a book I would highly recommend. It's called "
How to Be Your Dog's Best Friend: The Classic Training Manual for Dog Owners" by the Monks of New Skete. We actually rescued a 4 year old Australian Shepherd last year named Sydney (she is 5 now) and we were able to use a lot of the principles in the book even though she wasn't a puppy anymore. She warmed up to us crazy-quickly and has been our furry love-bug ever since.
I will have to look into that book!
Good luck with cashew. Congratulations.she is beautiful. I m a boxer lover. I had one and i still miss him.
Thank you! 😊
So funny I have the same avocado toast toy for my puppy I got last Saturday!!! I couldn’t agree more on all your tips!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Love this video! Tonight my New Beagle Puppy Marley is coming home to me! Can’t wait!!! ❤️
Useful information. Im going through the same with my puppy Stormi.
PLEASE share where you got the toy box? Love it!
Yes PLEASE
I sleep soo late’!!!! Like I could be up still at 6:00am or 7:00am so you know it’s kinda perfect :3 I love puppies

Of course I love but at times it can be hard...
As someone who has grown up with dogs (currently have 3, but total of 7 dogs my whole life), a way to help with the potty issue is put a bell on the door leading to the backyard or if you live in an apartment the front door. As well as if they are awake, the first few weeks while potty training take them out every half hour to hour, and then slowly increase the time. Let the puppy sleep, and as soon as they are up take them outside to go to the bathroom. Also please never use potty pads, most dogs think its okay to go in the house with the use of those. If you are crate training, and that is where they sleep at night or when home alone, make sure that the space is big enough for them to be able to turn around, but not to be able to walk. If the area is more for just fixing their sleeping position, they won't want to go to the bathroom in the crate and will wait until they are taken outside. As they become more reliable and potty trained then giving them a bigger space is ideal.
this is for anyone looking at getting a puppy, especially with quarantine going on.
Thanks for these tips , needed to know this 🌟
thanks for this!!! very helpful and insightful
I'm saving this for when I'm going to get a puppy when I have my own place! Also i got.two pups on halloween!!
I love this video! Thanks for the great tips
Yep, 100% right on everything, but the therapy part is one that is not as talked about. I got my first dog a year ago, and I am so glad that I did, especially now with the isolation of Covid-19. I am a widow who lives alone and could easily see myself getting depressed after a month of isolation, but my dog keeps my mind and time well occupied. That said, a dog does require a lot of time and attention, which is easier to deal with if there’s two of you. And one more thing that I haven’t seen talked about anywhere is the bonding process, it is a process. I was under the mistaken impression that it would be love at first sight for both of us, but it wasn’t, although there was an attraction at first sight on my part. For me, and I think for my dog as well, true love developped over time. It took about 10 or 11 months of getting to know each other, and learning to live with each other, before I could look at him and feel absolute love for him.
planning on adopting a teddy bear puppy this month!!! they are very expensive but definitely worth it and videos like this are much needed!
She is Adorable Aww She is so cute 😍
Getting my little Springador puppy today!! So excited 🥰
Ugh I remember being a zombie when I got my first puppy (I have never not had a dog in my home, but my boy was MY first dog that I was responsible for). He is almost 2 now, but we are picking up our second puppy in a week, so I am trying to refresh my memory lmao
Ishika Verma I got my puppy 2/25 and I believe she stopped completely crying at bed time about a week later. She still wakes up early though (6-6:30am). It’s so hard but it does get better as long as you do things the right way. Since she’ll be three months tomorrow, we wake up every 4 hours to take her out to go potty and most of the time we have to wake her up to go
Your dog is so cute it makes me want to get one.
Great video! Very informative for me, a person that hasn’t ever owned a dog, but is considering it!
im getting a puppy for free in 3 weeks and i’ve been doing research 🧚♀️✨ Im so happy that I get to rise my own dog and train her to be the best dog i’ve had by far
Thanks for this informative Video.
i think it's funny how you call them doing business as "going to the washroom" haha
good thing the shelter near us takes care of everything medical for us, including spay/neuter
Great and informative video. I recently got a new puppy in May. This video is very useful for me. Thanks.
