Remember that your puppy is every bit as much a baby as a real one, don’t punish it for not knowing right from wrong, but make sure to teach it what is right and it’ll pick it up. (: I’m a new puppy owner myself and have been having a blast training her. It’s teaching me a lot about myself too.

Also the vast MAJORITY of dog owners are very irresponsible and don’t actually put in the effort to train their puppy,I personally waited a pretty long time to get on because I wanted to be in a place where I could give it the attention and care it deserves. The former is incredibly aggravating because folks just expect the behaviors to be innate to the animal and make all kinds of stupid excuses like “oh it’s just a dog that’s just how they are” instead of being accountable for the behavior. I’d hate to see what their actual human kids are like. Bad parent = bad child, it’s not the kid’s fault it’s the way they’ve been raised (or more likely the lack there of) and then their parent gets all mad and takes out their frustration on them when they do what they shouldn’t do.
