We've only had him for two months, but he's a pup | So stressed out now: my dog destroyed half the dining room in my apartment and my mom wants to get rid of him, and I told her please no. And she told me I can keep him if I pay for all the repairs (probably like at least $500). I want to keep him, but damn... | image tagged in e | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

bro i got a puppy last autumn and there are certain things you need to do.

-put THEIR needs first, if he needs to play, get off your ass and play with him
-take him for a walk everyday, let him sniff a lot, sniffing burns more calories for dogs than walking or running
-always give them something to chew on, show them what they can and can't chew on
-feed them on a tight schedule so they will know when it is time to eat
-be consistent with training, don't ever go lax

Yea, I've been trying to put his needs first, but it's kinda hard when you have a job, homework every moment of the day, a bunch of chores to do, and my terrible memory getting in the way

you gotta make a schedule that you will stick to, you get home from work, take the dog for a walk for about 20min-45min, then he should be a little calmer while you are working on chores and homework. after homework is done and chores, play with him until he gets tired again.

and an important thing i've learned is that you need to use the same word for a certain command.

if i need my dog to follow me, i have to say "bella come" every time so she doesn't get confused with what i am telling her to do.
consistency is key

We've been trying to get him to listen to us with treats, but he doesn't listen
