\/ 651 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 It's a dog. You'll get over it soon. Just wait until you have to take care of it. Also, may I ask where you've gotten it? Some important notes. Buy puppy pads, but not too many. Training the dog to do his/her business outside can be a bit of a chore. You'll have to bring your dog to the same spot outside and establish it as a place to go. This will make it easier for him/her to get used to going outside. Having a place marked out as his/hers is usually helpful. The puppy pads shouldn't be a big thing. Put them by the door or in the area the dog is until you get used to his/her schedule so you can know when to bring him/her to aforementioned spot outside. Enter the Forest...

Just a picture from google images I think I read something about puppy pads, somewhere.... thanks for the tip! But how can you get over cuteness like that so easily?

S.F. 1,560 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 (edited) Congratulations, I remember being super excited for when I got my first puppy (granted this was many years ago, so my memories of the time are a bit sketchy). Just be prepared that it will be a lot of work, especially trying to train them (both house training and obedience training - and both are important). The one thing I learned the hard way was, keep all valuables out of reach. Puppies have an amazing ability to get to just about anything when they put their minds to it, even things put on the table aren't always safe. If puppy can get to it, puppy will chew it XD Although I don't know how bad labs are at chewing, I had a border collie - a breed renown for being the opposite of calm That being said, despite the work put in, they are definitely worth it! And I never got over the cuteness of her, even when she was an older dog, she was still cute in my eyes Edited August 25, 2015 by S.F. *Insert deep, intelligent and witty signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Diamond 7,569 August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 The subject of this topic has little potential to spark discussion between many members and, as such, would be better suited to a status update or a blog. When creating a thread, please remember that the goal is to start a conversation with room for many people to chime in and give their own viewpoints on, and that sharing events of an anecdotal nature would be better done elsewhere. Thank you. 1 Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
