It is tough and alot more work then I ever expected, but I really like it. I love this puppy stage, and it is great to mold his personality and train him from the start, but I am certainly looking forward to him being a 'trained adult'.
I get alot less sleep, I clean alot more poop and pee, I wash alot more towels, and I have to hear lots of whining.
Work and a puppy is tough. You just have to be on schedule every day. I walk him or run him before work and we go play in the park. He is kenneled, I try to come back for lunch and walk him. Then when I come home we run again and play. He lays in my bed when I read at night and then he goes in his kennel to sleep.
Jagger's biggest problems:
1.) He can't get over being crated even though I have tried all of the tricks I have read.
2.) He still hasn't really understood the house training thing, although it has gotten better.
Make sure the breeder knows what they are doing. The earlier they start training the better. Crate training and keeping the kennel clean at all times.
If you have any more questions let me know.
The little cutie is sleeping right next to me right now
