Regret getting puppy - 6 days in

[sukiwh]

Hello everyone, I’m really just looking for some reassurance here. First puppy in many years, had dogs before but do not remember it being this hard. The cats are furious, I feel so guilty that I have ruined their peaceful little lives, and if I could go back in time, I would not get the puppy. I can see she is objectively cute and understand she is 8 weeks and 6 days old, so can’t expect much from her in the way of understanding. I just wish I could go back in time and not get her. I feel depressed.

Please tell me these feelings will lift. I feel resentful towards this tiny sweet thing. Lots of support from DH and DC, I have no idea why I feel so negatively. I can’t see a future where this decision turns out to be a good one.

@CheryllO sorry, I meant that there is another puppy survival thread on here, not this one. It's been going in various incarnations for years and it is a very supportive place specifically for the problems you face. I'll tag you on it in case it's slipped down the list

Ooo yes please. Thank you

Ours is now 13 weeks, I absolutely regret getting it but will of course persevere as the dc adore her and I feel we have a made a commitment. She is sweet a lot of the time but I just do not understand how she remembers where the treats are, remembers what time food is served and sits waiting patiently for hours yet cannot remember not to wee in the house and not to bite feet.

/// This 100%! Whenever I train mine he seems to literally go through the motions as he knows good stuff is coming! Also when I watch YouTube vids of dog trainers with a pouch of treats around their waste and the dog obediently does the command and waits ... our little menace just jumps at the treats!

Thanks Brushing
