Everyone makes mistakes

The topic I would like to talk to you about today is when your puppy has an accident. This is one thing that drives me crazy with new puppy owners. Puppy will not be able to hold in their poop or pee when they are puppies. This is something they have to learn how to do.
Puppies are very little and they have small badders. Which makes it impossible for them to physically hold their pee for long periods of time. They also haven't developed the muscle strength to hold in their poop for long periods of time. So don't get mad at them they physically can not help it. 
Don't get me wrong I know it can get frustrating. After you have worked all day and the first thing you have to when you get home is wash out a kennel and give a puppy a bath everyday but it does get better i promise! I have seen people at this stage give up and get rid of their puppies for going to the bathroom while they were at work. (Which is very frustrating to me, it just makes my blood boil) Just keep in mind you can not blame the puppy. 
I had a friend who went through three different puppies in the matter of six months because she couldn't handle cleaning up after her puppy everyday. Which is just not far to the puppy! They will get past this stage and learn to hold it. You just have to be patient! 
Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or if you have any tips of your own. 
I hope you have a wonderful day and kiss your fur babies for me!

Getting Puppy Ready

Now that we have decided to get a puppy. It is time to get what we need for our house. I will break this down in two different blogs. One being if you already have dogs and the other is if the puppy is your only fur baby.  My husband and I at this time already had two dogs. We had an older boxer female (Sadie) and a very old dashound (Mr. Weenie). Which we still had to this day.  So we already had the basics. What we did need to get was some toys, her own bed, and blankets just for our new puppy to make her feel more at home.  On the blankets we didn't want to get her anything to fancy because she is a puppy. So the likely hood of her messing it up was very high. We went to our local Walmart and bought a little throw blanket. Which at the time was only two dollars. It was a cute little blanket, it was red with dog bones all over it. Now to the toys, we wanted to get her some toys that she could chew her little heart out and not mess up. When puppies are teething it is v

Life Saver

 I spoke in my blog "Getting Puppy Ready" about getting a Dog Play Pen for your puppy. Well today I am going to tell you why it is such a life saver, on when to use it, and you best believe you will get some funny stories along the way.  This is no secret but puppies can be a handful. You have to watch them like a hawk. They are so new with life that everything is fun and exciting for them. Even if they are getting in to something they aren't supposed to. My husband actually suggested this, and I honestly didn't think I would use it but let me tell you it really was a life saver.  Just because you have a new puppy it doesn't mean that everyday life stops. You still have to cook dinner, shower, and do chores around the house. Which can be challenging with a new puppy. This play pen was wonderful. When I was cooking, cleaning, or taking a shower I would put her in it. Now if you are like me, I did not like the idea at all. I would even call i

Benefits of kennel training

I would like to talk to you all about the benefits of kennel training. Now hear me out before you run off. I know some people are really against kenneling dogs, but they have been a huge help for me and my family. I would like to share with you how they have helped me.  My husband and I both have full time jobs. So we do have to leave our dogs at home while we are at work. When we are not home we do put them in dog kennels ( we call them their beds). My dogs love going to their beds. It is like their safe place. Where is your safe place? Is it your house, the place you look forward to going to. Well that is our dog's beds. I think there is a couple of reasons our dogs like going to their beds. One they get a treat, it doesn't matter that they have learn what "lets go to bed" means, they will always get a treat. Two they have their own space way from the other dogs, that is just theirs. With their own blankets and pillows. Three they feel safe in their beds
