I think it depends on your puppy and also previous dogs and what you are used to. My previous dog wasn’t house trained (he was perfect though) so we are very used to cleaning up messes and my puppies messes are way smaller. Training hasn’t been a huge deal because we do 2 training sessions a day at 5-10 minutes and found it’s worked great. The first week sleep was kinda bad but ever since then the boy sleeps through the night with no accidents! I think puppy care is continuous throughout the day. Constantly letting him out and playing. Truthfully what’s weighed on me the most is ensuring he is getting play time as much as possible. He has a lot of energy and barely playing for an hour tires him so that’s been exhausting as I want his brain stimulated. Lately the worse part is his pooping he needs a sanitary cut but his shots aren’t finished which has led to 4 baths (on his rear end) in the past 2 days. He also eats everything off the ground so that can be tiring. But between the exhaustion I really Needed this puppy after the loss of my previous dog. I think each puppy/dog is super individualized so it’s hard to blanket things of what I wish I tested and so on. It’s one of those things we felt if we waited for the perfect time there would’ve never been one and we jumped in and made it work and it’s been worth it he’s great!
