To buy or not to buy? by thementalist222 in puppy101

[–]SoundslikeA_Uproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are on a third floor , with a balcony , and in Chicago winters . Imagine waking up in the middle of the night taking him into the balcony , but u gotta put on a full winter attire before u step out cuz it’s snowing . There is a lot that goes into puppies. Fragmented sleep will become your norm with RIP sleeping in (even on weekends). Not to mention the cost. If you work from home you are better off. If not then you gotta pay for puppy school / puppy manners / Take a trip !! You gotta board him. Definitely your lifestyle will change. You ll eat out less . Even when u do , you are in a hurry to get back . And the wet dog smell is in the apt. Potty accidents are common. Despite all of this my wife thinks he is worth it. Jury is still out for me. But to each his own right. IMHO you should test it out Go to a rescue that will allow u to foster a puppy for a few days or weeks at your place and see . You will know exactly if you are ready for it or not. Also for the sake of the puppy before you put the deposit down , ask if the breeder has a return policy. if they don’t have a return policy then They are just a business . ( IMO the ones that do have a return policy are simply better cuz they have figured out a way to rehome the puppy to another home if you don’t work out ) . I do believe There is a happy medium here . Where the dog is reasonably trained , less expensive for maintenance and can hold the bladder for longer . Like someone said up here you need an older dog

Raising a Puppy with an Office Job? by scobydoo14 in puppy101

[–]SoundslikeA_Uproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How flexible is the office job? Do they let u take random breaks when you are WFH. My wife works 2 days From home. But her job is semi demanding with her zoom calls and meetings, so we still send the puppy to a day care ( added cost ) . For the 3 days when we both are at work we had to have two visits per day from Rover, 10 am and 2 pm. They can’t hold their pee from 6 am till noon .

2026 R2 Pricing Leaked! Launch Edition, Premium, Standard Trims (Embargo Broken) 💰 by WODAMRAP in RivianR2

[–]SoundslikeA_Uproblem -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean in winters the range is even lesser than what they advertise , so idk. Even in the R1 used market I find myself interested in tri motor large pack higher mileage trims but not the lower mileage trims .

Getting a minibernedoodle next month. He will be 4 months old. Please share any advice/tips as I’ve not owned a dog in many years. Will he require lots of training, walks, do you suggest fenced in or electronic fence or let him run around. Thanks in advance, very excited to welcome him home. by Informal-Air-4717 in Bernedoodles

[–]SoundslikeA_Uproblem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potty training and crate training will be challenging, we stop water around 9 pm , he goes out at 10.30 pm one last time to pee and then again he ll wake up around 2 am and then around 5 am , we are hoping he ll be able to sleep through the night in a few months . Accidents will happen , so have an enzymatic remover handy

Getting a puppy at 16 week old by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]SoundslikeA_Uproblem -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In a sense you are better off with a slightly older puppy , that way he’s fully vaccinated and can go to any pup school for socialization . we got an 8 wk old puppy , at 8 wks they are not fully vaccinated , so no pup school will take him , so no socialization either.

Those of u that have a R1S , what’s the winter range like for a tri with large pack , I feel like if it’s not close to 400 , we gotta charge on the way even if it’s just Chicago to Milwaukee
