@crayw Oh wow. Ugh they are so hard to deal w sometimes aren’t they. Good thing they’re so cute! 🤣

@crayw Giving up the naps is another frustration I forgot! I miss the days he would sleep 20 hrs a day lol

@briang70 Great idea thanks

@briang70 The struggle is real!!!! lol Thanks so much! That’s is great to know because that’s another concern. I would like him a little bigger and wasn’t sure if that would stop the hormones and keep him from growing so thanks!!

@nicolegriff Thanks!

I know this is a controversial topic but curious to hear people’s opinions and experiences. I’ve worked for a vet for many yrs and drs encouraged to spay and neuter around 6 months. I personally have always followed this standard w my pets my whole life. However I’m reading more and more that...

@billover70 This makes so much sense! THANK YOU. Yeah I need to stop pushing my expectations on him and just work w him at his pace. I get so caught up w at 5 months they should do this and at 6 months this and well other posters puppies are walking perfectly on a leash. That way of thinking is...

@billover70 This makes sense about walks. I think I’m trying to rush things too much and need to lower my expectations. Thank you so much!!! Can you explain what you mean about counterconditioning?

@chiefyang83 This really does help and makes me feel so much better. Thank you so much!!!!

@cosine Not true at all

@chiefyang83 Thank you so much for this! ❤️. Did he just outgrow the fear or was there anything in particular you did? I appreciate this. It made me feel better 😁

@beastnate123 Ugh I hear you!!! It’s like when are you going to consistently choose good over evil??? Lol

@yaheli Sleepy is heaven!!! 🙃

@johnr001 Thank you that alone helps lol

@creekwalker Good luck! Praying it’s just pickiness 🙏🏻. The struggle is real isn’t it lol

@patrick_m I feel this so much! I’m exhausted all the time. My puppy? NEVER seems tired and fights naps and bedtime every day. I still have to crate him for naps because he will not nap outside the crate on his own and turns into a maniac when he doesn’t nap.

@stelz So true ❤️❤️❤️

@stelz Same! I gotta work on my timing too 😩

6 month old papillon is out to break me I just know it (I have to laugh or I’ll cry). Still can’t walk properly on a leash. Still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. He has all his adult teeth. When I take him out I’m pulling every leaf, rock, asphalt, etc out of his mouth just while waiting for him...
