dog peed on your bed again?? tried yelling yet?

Ever feel like your dog’s trolling you on purpose? Mine used to bite, guard food, flip trash bins like a raccoon. It was chaos. Here’s what actually fixed it: 🔸 Loud paper slap (not on the dog—on the ground). Instant fear. Zero resentment. 🔸 5-min guilt trip: walk them to the scene, leash on, head pointed at the mess. No sniffing. No playing. 🔸 Set your rules—and stick to them. You go soft once, they’ll remember forever. These smart dogs test limits. If you don’t give structure, they’ll make their own—and you won’t like it. #dogtraining

How I Trained My Puppy to Poop in One Spot

Training your puppy to poop in one spot starts early, and trust me, it works! 🐾🌟 Here’s my method: 1️⃣ Observe your puppy’s routine. For my dog, it's usually 30 minutes after eating. 2️⃣ Before the “poop time,” bring them to the designated spot – a small, closed-off area works best. 3️⃣ If they go there, celebrate! Immediately reward them with treats and lots of praise. A few key things to remember: 👉 Immediate reward: Dogs have short memory, so timing matters. 👉 Excited praise: Dogs pick up on your emotions – the happier you are, the more they’ll associate it with doing it right. 👉 Reward with treats and playtime: It’s not just about food; make it fun! But if they don’t get it right, no shouting! They don’t understand the concept of a “bathroom,” so stay calm. Over time, they’ll make the connection. 🐶💩 Anyone else have potty training tips? #DogTraining #DogPottyTraining#Puppy

Surviving Your First Week With a Puppy

So you’ve decided to adopt a puppy. Congratulations! Prepare for chaos. These tiny agents of destruction will find every loose sock, every forgotten snack, and every plant you ever loved. Here’s how to avoid disaster: Bags up high, always. Gum, peanut butter, and random snacks are dog magnets—and sometimes toxic. If you have kids, make them hang up their backpacks. If you don’t, hide your own stuff. Trust me. Plants: Google every single one. Some are basically puppy poison. If you’re not sure, move them out of reach. Bonus: fewer things to clean up after the inevitable plant massacre. Scented stuff? Dryer sheets and plug-ins are out. Your dog’s nose is basically a superpower, and some smells are dangerous. Minimalism is survival. Anything on the floor is fair game for chewing. Shoes, coins, your dignity—nothing is safe. If you want to keep your sanity (and your puppy alive), start here. For more chaos management, check out local training classes. Good luck. You’ll need it. #PuppyLife #PetSafety #DogTraining #Pets
