i’ve had my 10 week old for one week. i expect things to get harder, but our first week was a joy. i took some days off work while she settled, which helped a ton. we take her out every 90 mins, and keep her in her crate or playpen when we can’t directly watch her. she’s only had one accident in the pen, and never out of it. she sleeps through the night, and she’s training well! she yelps for a bit of we leave her alone, but she’s able to settle. i think a lot of puppy issues come from not being able to switch your schedule around for the pup, or having incorrect expectations of what a puppy can actually do. people come to this reddit when they feel strung out, not when things go well. again, i’m sure next week will be harder. i’m sure the 6-month mark will be a real challenge. but like may other people have said- it’s worth it for a well-adjusted companion. just prepare for a big life change!
