How to be prepared for the shark/demon phase š my pup is 8wks old
Iāve had my 8-week-old female rottie for almost a week(sheāll be 9wks soon). So far sheās been the embodiment of a perfect angel. She sleeps in her kennel and I set two alarms for potty breaks and she goes right back sleep when sheās done relieving herself. She naps without protesting. I feed her all her kibble through training and she knows sit, down, stay, kennel, āgo chillā (this is our version of place), paw, and heel. She doesnāt know them all perfectly obviously but when sheās working for food sheās pretty damn close!
I have read soo many stories about puppy blues and how bad it can get. What are things I can do now and keep doing to be prepared for the teenage phase and all the chaos?! I can already tell Iām going to miss my angel if itās as bad as they say š
