Tip of the Week 💙 It's okay if the puppy feels like a wedge right now

Nobody talks about this enough. A new puppy can put real strain on relationships.

Disagreements about training. Unequal workload. One person wanted the dog more than the other. Resentment that builds quietly. It's more common than you think, and it doesn't mean your relationship is in trouble.

It means you're both under stress and you haven't had a chance to catch your breath yet.

If this is happening in your house, you're not alone. And it's worth talking about, with each other, or with someone who can help.

Has the puppy affected your relationships? We're here to listen. 💙
