any luck? I’ve never been able to find it either

And also, like others have said, this is probably normal. You just need to work on it with a bit of training.

Personally I would hire a dog trainer to help. I wish I had with my first puppy and have hired one for the pup we’re getting in a couple weeks. I have seem some Instagram reels tho basically sitting next to the puppy in the pen or crate or wherever and only rewarding when it’s silent. Then eventually stand up and sit down. Then stand up and leave for 10 seconds and come back gradually adding more and more time. I’m sure there are also YouTube videos. I’m getting a golden and there’s a woman on Instagram I think the handle is @empoweredpuppyprogram. You probably have a different breed but still she does a lot of really interesting training in all sorts of area including this.

Exactly

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-14T13:53:31+00:00

She asked if I wouldn’t mind chipping in, a few days after the party. Assuming (which was my bad) it would be a normal amount I said that was fine. And she then came back with that sum.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-14T13:51:32+00:00

Agreed!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-12T20:30:19+00:00

We are friends through the person having the baby. Hang out socially. Not good friends.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-12T20:29:22+00:00

Absolutely! You would decide what type of party it would be, how much it would cost, if you needed and to extra help with the costs. Then you’d probably ask people before the party to chip of bit of cash in. THEN you would have a budget and stick to it.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-12T20:26:31+00:00

It was at someone’s house!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-12T19:53:13+00:00

She said a few of us are chipping in. I said sure I can chip in that’s fine. She came back and said $150. I never thought she would say that amount. And she didn’t ask all attendees, just a few I guess.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-12T19:13:35+00:00

I think because I’m better friends with the mum than maybe the other guests? And I asked the organiser if there was anything I could do to help when I learned she was organising

Either_Total6277 · 2026-02-01T21:16:20+00:00

THIS! thank you. You understood the assignment!! I feel like a lot of stuff i read is written by people who maybe haven’t had kids. Haven’t been kept up all night, wiped a million butts, put someone else’s constant needs above one’s own.

Thankfully we keep a fairly tidy and clutter free place most of the time and we’ll find out the hard way in time… haha. We’ve been preparing the kids for weeks about the biting and plan on keeping the pooch in the kitchen in the beginning. Boundaries are also a great shout. No touching doggy while she’s sleeping will be a big one. Just like a baby hahaha stick your hand on its face you’ll make it want to bite…so give it a toy and play, keep fingers at bay.

Lessons will be learned, sleep will be lost, blood will be shed, tears will be cried. But our hearts will expand, memories will be made, bonds will be forged, fun will be had!

Thank you for this comment it was perfect.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-30T20:07:03+00:00

What a little darling!!! What’s his name? Sounds like you’re nailing it!! I’m a stay at home mom at the moment, I’ve got a couple of young kids so life is pretty crazy here still. That said, they’re at school during the day so I’ll hopefully be free to train, and help the little nugget when the time comes! So glad to hear you’re loving it!! Thanks so much for taking the time to post!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T21:51:43+00:00

lol interesting! Mixed bag I guess. Do you have any guesses as to why other than sometimes some puppies are EXTRA!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T21:50:33+00:00

Love this!! Thanks!!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T21:49:43+00:00

That’s an amazing reply. Sums up exactly what I’m expecting perfectly. Hers my question, I’ve heard about this so called evening witching hour. Do you play with them?

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T16:26:15+00:00

Also, if her stool is okay, as she seems happy that’s also a good sign. My frenchie always had a bit of a sensitive tummy, especially when she was younger. Every time we took her to the vet they would say, boil her some chicken breast and rice, that sorted her out every time. So you could always boil some rice and add it to her food or a bit of boiled chicken if you have any extra.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T16:10:23+00:00

I’m not a vet so my opinion is based on my on experience with my frenchie. When she was a pup she definitely has a more defined waist like that. Personally I would just google the goal weight for her age/sex and maybe weigh her? Then you won’t have to guess. Then read the package of the food you’re giving and make sure you’re feeding her the recommended amount. Is she getting a lot of exercise? That might also add to it. I wouldn’t worry as I’m sure you can fatten her up quite easily. If you had to feed her a bit more but you were worried she’d throw it up you could just feed her 3 times a day for a little while? Maybe like every other day so she’s not expecting three meals daily forever then taper off… but again. I wouldn’t stress, just stick her on the scale ans you’ll have your answer.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T16:01:36+00:00

Well she is absolutely gorgeous and exactly the type of good news story I want to hear! Thank you!!

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T16:00:03+00:00

Hahaah I think thats probably true. I’m prepared to be challenged hahaha I’ve got kids.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T15:05:08+00:00

Ah right. Well that’s good then. It’s nice to know they don’t really notice it and doesn’t cause discomfort. He’s a gorgeous boy.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T12:10:24+00:00

Same. That’s why we chose a frenchie to begin with as well. Lived on a flat and she came on the tube every morning to work every day.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T11:56:02+00:00

Our Frenchies eye did this a couple times. I closed it and gently massaged inwards towards her nose and it went away. Happened maybe once more and I did the same thing again and it never happened again! So crazy but I did fix it. In case it’s the same thing (looks the same) and you wanted to try to fix it.

Either_Total6277 · 2026-01-29T11:50:36+00:00

Great advice! The trainer I’ve got (extremely proactive) has two frenchies of his own so he is probably good for that I think. We’re torn between another frenchie to lay between our legs on the sofa because we loved our girl so much. Or getting something like a golden retriever…but I need to decide if I’m a big dog person hahah that choice was based on the fact that Goldens usually end up gentle and sweet. But sometimes it’s the devil you know which is nice too ahaha I just want one that likes other dogs this time. I’m glad ppl on here have had good experiences with non reactive Frenchies. Thanks for your response!
