A woman posted on Facebook complaining about her puppy peeing in the house at night - when I replied giving a few tips but assuring her that with a bit of effort the puppy would soon grow out of that stage - I received a nasty reply saying her house 'stank' and she couldn't put up with it. She was pregnant so I supposed expected sympathy. I didn't answer. For a start - if she was planning a pregnancy it was not an ideal time to get a puppy, second she should have asked about puppy behaviour before getting one, thirdly she would soon be up at night with the baby so could easily let the dog out frequently but most of all - puppies require attention just like babies. You know babies are going to take time with nappies (diapers) and toilet training and you will make the effort. Puppies take a lot less time to grow up so a little effort now will pay off very soon - if you didn't know that puppies are babies too and need training and cleaning up after for a bit - you really definitely SHOULD NOT HAVE ONE! My tips on how to deal with that stage starting tomorrow. Breeding puppies will be later as I assume most breeders know full well how to deal with that - so it it will be the last in the series
