WIBU to tell them to mind their own business

I adopted a dog a few weeks ago, he's brilliant and we are getting on well. He's just under a year old so not a new puppy and is good with people and other dogs.

All my friends -most of whom dont even have pets- keep giving me completely unsolicited advice and I'm finding it very frustrating. They tell me what he wants (ie he wants to go outside) and if I dont enable it immediately they tell me repeatedly over and over. Thing is, they're generally wrong but they just won't listen to me. I'm going to take him to classes but they run in cycles so we couldnt start right away.

What do I say? How do I politely tell them to fuck off?!

Smile, nod, ignore. Same as when you have a new baby.
