Ok. So I am now the incarnate of the mummy bags “all the gear no idea” slogans but on puppies. We have a 17wk Old cockerpoo who is simply wonderful. I’ve grown up with dogs (shi tzu, mutt and dobermans) but this my first ‘all mine’ not shared in any form with another.
What’s the crack with trainers and puppy toilet training? It’s a minefield of misinformation and selling me shit nearly as bad as toilet training my two kids was!
How often do your cockerpoos or similar sized dogs go to wee an poo. And I’m curious do u stand next to it clicking or treating and yelling ‘good busy’ in its ear?
He originally went in a crate. Now as it’s summer the doors open he takes himself to the garden often as I work from home I simply cannot be stood next to him. I’ve been told by someone I’m causing myself issues my dog issues and clearly I’m a crappy doggy mummy. Surely as they grow they hold longer? Much like kids do. I managed not to break them. I can as I’m home often walk several times, there’s a garden, I’m pretty flexible and he’s usually right next to me!
Or is everyone genuinely doing this and I’m going to be in trouble? I’m trying to write this with the same exasperation I get about the regimes I was bombarded with for children but also slightly nervous I am in fact going to be up the proverbial.
Thoughts?
