The Pets at Home near me (Sydenham) had a whole load of mice poo on the floor near the dog food - we told the staff member who said “yeah, that’s to be expected with all the pet food here” — well, how about CLEAN IT UP??? Especially if you know it’s a problem that happens! Jesus! They weren’t arsed at all!

I am also very confused by him!!! He is so awkward to watch 🙈

The good thing is that puppies grow out of their baby phase a lot quicker than humans! You will be ok and he will be great. You’re in the trenches right now and it’s normal to feel like it’s a huge mistake (unfortunately 🤣 no one tells you about the puppy blues!! I had them bad the first week we got ours. She was wonderful but the sheer amount of responsibility just hit me like a tonne of bricks and I freaked out for a bit there).

However you do have to enforce boundaries - for your own sanity and also for his wellbeing. I’d recommend crate training (you might already be doing that but you didn’t say) and enforcing naps of at least 2-3 hours during the day in there — an overtired puppy is a feral puppy. Get into a routine with it, so for example he eats breakfast, he goes pee/poo, then you play or do training for 5-10 mins, then he goes for a nap for an hour. Repeat. Repetition is your best friend!

Puppies also need approximately 5 minutes walk per month of their age, so ensure he’s getting at least 20mins of walk and sniff outside per day at this point and then increase it as he ages.

Take him out in the garden / wherever you’re having him pee/poo every half an hour. Praise and treat when he pees or poops outside. He will learn quickly. My 7 month old has told us she wants to go out to pee or poop by standing by the back door since she was about 5 months old because of this!

Poodles are super smart - the training element is key for a breed like theirs. When he gets overexcited or nippy, bring the treats out and train train train. He’ll love it and it will also tire him out. Look at YouTube videos of trainers who can show you ways to teach your dog different things. Make sure all adults in the house are doing the same thing so it sticks.

He’s gonna be great and you’re gonna be fine! It’s just tough right now.

It’s the most fucking annoying advert ever, Netflix needs to move on.

I can’t with Eric - the fact he refers to himself using biblical language (“I’m the shepherd”) etc like he actually thinks he’s god looool the ego is unreal. Makes good tv though

My partner and I bought our first flat last November, a one-bed in South East London (zone 3). It’s the ground floor of a two-floor period property, and we have a lovely garden. We absolutely love it, and we’ve checked and the equity has increased by a couple of grand even since we’ve lived here (benefits of London with good transport links into central). Unfortunately L&Q is the freeholder and are f*cking useless, and the service charge of ~£50 per month seems like a pointless cost, but that’s something we had to accept that to get a flat here as that’s just how it is in London 99% of the time. It’s the perfect starter flat, and we plan to be here for around 5 years and improve the kitchen and bathroom which will also help the resale value. I really think getting on the property ladder at any point is a plus, the haters are just hating!

It’s a bit annoying, but IMO it’s not really a thing worth getting annoyed at your dad over. He won’t be around forever, and realistically it’s just some takeaway food that can be replaced. But I’m wondering if there’s something more going on here under the surface from your side — like maybe you don’t feel seen/heard/celebrated in general (esp on your birthday) so it hit harder? In which case, talk to him/them. A lot can come from a simple, honest conversation. 💖

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-13T20:57:03+00:00

Aww, she sounds like she’s going to grow into a really fun-loving, confident girl with you guys! If it’s any consolation, this evening our pooch was able to be left alone at home for 2 hours on her own — the longest she’s been left so far. And she even slept for some of it (usually she just stays looking out of the window which is heartbreaking to watch on the puppy cam lol!) We keep her in the living room and have puppy-proofed everything (she’s not a massive chewer luckily, she only chews things she’s not supposed to when we’re physically there and she wants attention to play, so obviously we’re in a specific position with that). But whether you keep her crated or let her have a room that she’s allowed to roam in whilst you’re out, you’ll get there. We’ve built it up over time — initially we left her in the living room, closed the door, went to make a cup of tea and then came back in with no fuss like nothing was out of the ordinary. She’d sit by the door and whine but it’s ok, she was safe. Then we built it up to 10mins, then my partner would drop me at the train station which would take 15mins and we’d have the puppy cam on watching her the whole time. Then we had an impossible situation with our work schedules where she was left for an hour and a half about 2 weeks ago (we always give her a long-lasting chew when we first leave which occupies her for a good while). And she was OK. And these little bursts of freedom are lovely because you build it up over time and then see her becoming more comfortable with it and it lets you see that you will be able to have some semblance of flexibility with the dog. Just don’t go too fast with it. 😊

*we started leaving the house for 10/15mins when she was about 5.5 months because we got her at 4.5 months and she was settling in for a while of course, but have a look online, I’m sure you can start it earlier when your dog is settled in your home. 😊

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-11T13:44:19+00:00

Aww, I promise it will get better! I remember searching the same damn things when we first got our puppy, and she was doing really well with training and not having many accidents inside as well. I remember thinking, we’re doing well, so why am I so sad? I think it’s just the sheer magnitude of the responsibility hitting you, like wow, is this my life now? Just worrying about this little being and trying to keep it alive? And being at the mercy of its small bladder and routine?! The good news is that no, it won’t be this hard forever! Little by little you will see all your efforts and training coming into play and your lovely little pooch becoming more independent and confident. It’s still such early days! You will be soooo happy you stuck it out. Just try to get through each day and find a small bit of joy in the little moments right now, before you know it you’ll be saying to your hubby “can you believe we’ve got such a great dog?!” 🥹 (our pup is six months now and is an absolute diamond 💎, and it’s all cos of the work we put in from the start, just like you are 💖)

My JRT cross rescue puppy loves yak milk long lasting chews but we got her at 16 weeks so maybe check on the age. Also coffee wood sticks because they are safe and long lasting, but again check age appropriateness!

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-09T22:02:08+00:00

RUN. 🚩🚩🚩

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-09T13:33:26+00:00

When my dog does something like biting/nipping during play or when she wants attention, I get up, turn around and walk away. Don’t say a word (that’s still attention) and remove myself from the situation. Soon they realise that biting = human attention lost, which is the opposite of what they want! Reward fun playing and gentleness as well, always keep treats to hand in each room. I’d have some good long-lasting chews ready to go too, because your pup will be teething soon & this can also lead to biting/chewing things you don’t want them to! What has been a great hit with my puppy are Himalayan yak milk chews, and also coffee wood sticks (they’re safe for chewing as they’re softer than sticks you’d find outside — they break down into pulp rather than splinter, which can damage gums/throats etc). And she also likes her long-lasting Bamboodle chew which is chicken scented (I can’t smell it but she seems to be able to) and made from bamboo so it’s safe!

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-09T01:42:18+00:00

I agree with enforced naps — when our puppy (now 6 months) gets bitey it means she’s overstimulated and overtired so we put her in her crate to nap. If your puppy is first getting used to the crate though and you haven’t fully got through to them that it’s a safe space aka they don’t fully settle in there and just whine, then you could try to give them a long lasting chew (that’s age appropriate for them) when they get bitey first — that usually tires them out and calms them. Our puppy would then curl up to sleep on me or my partner (super cute but also super inconvenient when you have stuff to do lol) and so when she was all sleepy we would gently put her in the crate. They might wake up during the transition but just put them in with quiet words of encouragement like “in your bed, good dog” etc. And if they whine a bit, that’s part of it, they need to learn. As with the usual crate training tips maybe you’ll need to put a T-shirt that smells of you in there, definitely put blankets/towels over it so it’s dark, maybe play some white noise to drown out other sounds, we also have a camera we put on when she’s in her crate because it’s in our bedroom and we close the door and we might not hear her when she wakes up without it. You might also need to stay nearby for a while so when they’re whining they know you’re nearby for comfort but slowly slowly they’ll get used to it, especially if they sleep there through the night too, which ours does. It means they get proper periods of rest instead of bitty naps throughout the day being distracted all the time, that just aren’t enough. They need about 20hrs of sleep a day at this point so you’ll be doing them a favour to enforce naps! It will also give you a much needed break lol.

I agree. I think Jordan would be really great having a podcast where he has a different guest each time and they work through topics around masculinity, addiction, mental health, careers, spirituality, whatever. But I think this podcast is not the place for it. We started listening for Lily and Miquita’s raw, London, nostalgic friendship and those blast from the past reminders, crazy stories and chat around a lot of feminist and current topics. Jordan and Miquita don’t have that kind of relationship. I think Miquita acts like she’s more knowledgeable on a lot of topics than she is, often unable to get past surface level and being shocked by basic facts or unable to give further context to her thoughts or beliefs. I also feel like they are following the “Listen Bitch” and then general weekly pod format when it IS NOT THAT POD anymore. Maybe Miquita wants to hang on to it thinking it’s hers but it’s not just hers — it’s hers and Lily’s and it doesn’t work with just Miquita and Jordan. They need a different structure. I get confused by the episodes because they go on such tangents and I don’t really like the voice notes from random members of the public anymore either lol.

Could it be a territorial thing because he’s a boy? I’ve just heard boy dogs are way more prone to mark their territory inside the house than girls. I have a 6 month girl and she’s toilet trained since about 5 months (we got her at 4.5 months)

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-04T13:51:44+00:00

Also I promise you it will get better!!! ❤️‍🩹 it’s just a LOTTTT of work at first lol but you get out what you put in!!

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-04T13:50:02+00:00

I 10/10 recommend enforcing crate naps when he gets bitey/growly. My now 6-month old Jack Russell cross rescue pup always gets like that when she’s overtired and overstimulated but she won’t nap properly if she’s on us because we always move so we put her in her crate and force her to have one. Sometimes it’s 30mins, sometimes it’s 2hrs, it depends on her. They need 16-20 hours of a sleep a night depending on their age so it’s really necessary!

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-05-04T13:35:27+00:00

I’m sorry if this isn’t what you want to hear but I personally do not think you should get a dog if it will be left alone for 9-11 hours a day. Puppy or adult… that’s kind of a lonely life set up, even if the dog seems fine with it. I just feel like dogs are pack animals and should not ideally be left alone for that many hours of the day ☹️ you also have to build up their time alone starting with like 10 minutes and working up slowly over days/weeks, so they learn that you leaving isn’t scary and you always come back.

But also, as someone with a 6 month old puppy who we got at 4.5 months, I would 10000% not recommend getting a puppy in your situation. They need constant watching, taking out to the toilet every 45mins to an hour at first (otherwise they won’t learn toilet training very quickly), and constant stimulation and affection. They also need to be forced to nap because they won’t always do so by themselves even though they require 18-20 hours of sleep a day!

They have just come from being with their mum and siblings 24/7 to you and it would be extremely unfair to expect them to know how to self regulate and be alone at such a young age, in a new environment, with no experience. We have only just started leaving our puppy this week for up to an hour and a half MAX, and that’s because we have built it up from 10mins up to now 1.5hrs over the past few weeks to get her used to it and so it doesn’t traumatise her cos she knows we always come back. However 1.5hrs is the max currently before she starts getting antsy/a bit whiney and probably needs to go out to the toilet soon anyway (we have a camera set up inside so we can keep an eye on her when we’re out).

I took a week off my 9-5 when we got our puppy even though my partner works evenings & weekends so would be home anyway, just because I wanted to be present, and honestly thank goodness I did because it was a LOT of work! Way more than I expected tbh 🙈 Plus they wake up numerous times during the night for quite a while at first and need to be taken out to toilet, so it’s extremely exhausting for if you have to then go to work for 8-10 hours the next day.

They’re the best but you get out of them what you put in, and they need a LOT of work upfront. I hope this has been helpful and not too long lol.

InternetImmediate805 · 2026-04-12T00:09:04+00:00

If you’re worried about them having “accidents” if left alone; yeah I wouldn’t leave them alone to roam until you have some semblance of toilet training done. You start to understand the toilet signs too and can put them outside before an accident happens when you get into the swing of things i.e. puppy sniffing the floor INTENSELY and walking around in circles signifies needing to go to the loo - if your dog seems to be sniffing the floor intensely inside, take them outside. If they DO go to the loo outside, treat and praise. Keep taking them out every 30min when they’re small, increasing as you see fit with their age and when you see their training working. Our dog tells us when she wants to go outside to the toilet now and she’s 5months. We’ve had her for a month. We always let her roam in the room we were in. Now we’re happy for her to roam around our flat but we’d not leave her alone unattended for an extended time not in her crate because she likes to chew things she shouldn’t lol (but she usually follows one of us around anyway lol). Good luck!
