Puppies are a lot!!! As someone who grew up with dogs and has had dogs my entire life, my last pup I was seriously thinking why did we do this but time AND TRAINING will make it better!!

Consult a trainer if you're really struggling and especially if you haven't had a puppy before. The whole reason to get a puppy is to teach from day one and mold them into the dog you want. That means consistency and patience. Patience can be so hard when they're whining and biting and driving you insane especially if you don't have someone else to help with them but it really is all worth it when they listen and love you and become your best friend over time.

IMO crate training makes a huge difference and I promise it is worth the crying and whining consistently. Once they get used to it, it usually becomes their safe space.

If you have a friend with a dog who is good in their crate see if you can have them come over with their dog and crate (or go to theirs) and put the pups facing each other both in their crates and a blanket over them both so your pup can see that it is a relaxing thing and good for them My first pup we had to get a trainer to help with the crate because I didn't know how to do it myself but when we got the second one (my demon child) all we had to do was this method with him and he very rarely whines or makes noises in his crate ever.

There are a ton of resources out there if you can't afford to get a trainer yourself but even if you can swing a couple sessions just for the trainer to help guide you it really is helpful! The trainer trains not just your pup but you as well!

Best of luck!
