Puppies are a bundle of joy. There’s no other way to describe what their presence creates to any home. They bring a tremendous injection of happiness to children and adults. They’re not just any human’s best friend; they are family. And it needs to be mentioned that they are cute. They are manna from heaven, brought down here to bring love and tenderness in any place they occupy. Any dog owner knows this very much, and many of them seek that effect from their puppies. It’s safe to say that not a lot of people are disappointed in what their puppies can bring in their lives.
However, the same owners can also attest to the chaos that comes with them, which is undeniable. All that running around, playfulness, and (lest we forget) all the peeing and pooing will bring some disorder. It’s just a reality of having a puppy in the house. They’ll eventually grow out of it, but for at least a year, you have to keep up with them so that they know that you love them.
Why House-Breaking is Critical
Most people get their puppies from a breeder or the pound. That only means that they’re not used to your house, and it will take them time. This lockdown is a blessing for owners because they can spend more time with their new furry friends, but spending time with them doesn’t mean instilling discipline in them. Those two are very different things. You may have to rely on dog training to easily house-break them. They will be a big part of your life, but you can’t be looking after them all the time. They need to know boundaries, something every dog owner must realize.
But what you, as the owner, need to learn is patience and discipline. Puppies will put these two things to the test, and as they need to keep up with you, you need to keep up with them. That’s how you build bonds and boundaries. A lot of people expect their puppies to obey them by barking commands at them. The opposite happens what they do that, and they’re probably solidifying behavior you want to go.
Keeping Up With Your Puppy is Worth It
Raising a puppy is like raising a kid. To couples, consider this as training for having a family. To single people, having a puppy means that you can’t put yourself first all the time. Your puppy will have to be first in your considerations. All this only means one thing: keeping up with them is hard work. But it’s all worth it. The things they bring to your house and the growth they put on people are priceless. Even people who didn’t expect to be dog owners changed after getting a dog. Their company is like heaven, whether you’re happy, sad, or bored. They’ll go along with you no matter what.
Nothing will come close to the experience of having a “gotcha” day. It’s when you get your puppy, and it’s safe to say that your life will change after their arrival in your home. Your work is cut out for you, and the same can be said about your dog. And there’s no shame in asking for help in this department.
