Omg my bf kind of has his heart set on a puppy from a litter of them his friend has. I’m due in 2 weeks. He wants a puppy. He’s at said friends house right now, he’s going to come home with a damn puppy. Someone help me idfk how to housebreak a freaking puppy. Here’s my plan though someone tell me if it’s good or not 🤦🏼♀️
Borrow my parents dog crate and crate it at night and when we aren’t home(I CANT have this thing peeing wherever in the house we HAVE to get our deposit back)
I’m making my bf buy a small square footage of fake grass to put on our patio and some kind of fencing so he has his own little grass area on our patio(I already have my own dog to take outside, she hates my house and she’s very old)I’m not going to take both of them at the same time or even one first then the other especially when they both need to pee bad in the morning.
What else can I do to train it 😭😭😭 I’ll take anything cause I’ve NEVER done this before. My dog we have now my parents got her for me for my bday when I was 8 so my mom did the hard parts and got her mostly trained then let me help.

DONT GET THE PUPPY. If you aren't going to take it on walks then it doesn't deserve to be there.

It would go on walks 🤦🏼♀️. I’m saying like situations when everyone has JUST gotten up when my dog gotta pee and she’s dancing and squealing at the door and the puppy is doing the same thing I can’t take 2 dogs, my autistic 2 year old and a newborn all outside with me at the same time. I have no problem walking it when I can and when my bf is home he would definitely be taking him for walks cause that’s just how he is.

@bubbys.mommy you're going to take your old dog when she has to go out but not the other. I stand with my original comment. You guys will have enough on your plate with a new baby. No need to add in crate training, potty training, teaching a puppy boundaries, taking a pappy out multiple times a day and night to go potty. It's not a good mix.

no it’s not and quite frankly I don’t want to get a dog right now. Last week I was begging him for a kitten and I still am but those are easier than dogs and we decided not to get the cat cause kittens are also like babies and they don’t know better and just want to play and scratch everything. So we said no. Im also starting to potty train my son, that’s the only thing I want to be potty training right now. Also with the patio thing MY dog is being made one anyway because she hates my house she’s not happy because her whole life changed 3 weeks ago when I moved she refuses to poop outside at my house and barely pees but if he had come home with a puppy I wanted it to have his own area first and immediately.

I don’t want a damn puppy though but he’s at said friends house and I really feel like I’m gonna come home to a puppy in my house 😭😭😭

@bubbys.mommy have him take it back 🤷🏽♀️ if you aren't both 100% on board with getting a puppy and taking on responsibility for it then it's a bad idea. Take it from someone who feeds, walks, bathes, exercises both dogs alone. It isn't a fun time. Especially living in an apartment and being home with the kids alone daily. Sorry if my previous comments sounded snotty. They weren't meant to be that way. I just know how hard it is having to do this shit alone with kids.

no you don’t sound snotty. I’m just annoyed that he’s so set in getting one of these puppies then I have to be home alone with 2 kids and 2 dogs by myself until 330. And I’m not sure the current owners would take it back so it would end up in a shelter and I’m generally not the person to do something like that especially since the current owners are okay with keeping them but if they leave they stay left. I can barely handle my ONE dog and my ONE child when we go outside cause he doesn’t listen for crap and my dog doesn’t either I’m like wtf
