So all of you that have been regular followers know that we adopted a puppy-Jester.
As cute and adorable as puppies are (and Jester is up there in the cuteness stakes), it is not all sunshine and roses when it comes to “bringing up baby”!!. They poop everywhere, they pee everywhere, they eat everything and it becomes exhausting.
Sometimes it takes all your strength to not just sit in the corner rocking yourself to sleep nursing a bottle of Captain Morgans in one hand and Ben and Jerry’s in the other hand as you try and remember your dog trainers advice and “ignore all puppy whining!!”. (Easier said than done in a studio apt sister!!!!)
I am luckier, less sane than most people and have 12 years of animal behavior and fostering experience behind me and yeah it makes it a bit easier, but it is still not a walk in the park!!
But why not make life a little easier?(well at least puppyhood). There really is no need to struggle and feel silly at 3am wondering if your puppies behavior is normal, try the new website Puppyhood. It is a resource for all things puppy- from choosing the right breed for you, to making sure that you have the right checklist of things before you bring your precious pooch home for the first time.
While scrolling through Puppyhood, we were so happy to see that even City Dog’s were catered for with articles just for pups in the city like this one here. At Puppyhood.com, you can go on a virtual dog walk where you’ll encounter hotspots that bring up puppy related content, including tips and on nutrition, puppy behavior, training and what to expect as your puppy grows. All super useful when you just want reassurance that you are doing the right thing by Fido.
Joining Puppyhood gives you and your pup a customized learning experience, helpful tools and exclusive benefits and coupons on the journey to doghood.
As a member, you can access special features, including a puppy milestone tracker, expert advice and puppy destinations and resources in your own community. Whats not to love about it?

HOW DID YOU SURVIVE PUPPYHOOD?
How I wish I had a resource like Puppyhood when our Rottweiler came home with us from the shelter! Six months old, adorable, and HUGE…and stubborn. Five years later we’re still “untraining” some of those bad puppy habits that came from inconsistent family training.
The first year is so important for getting things right and preventing bad behaviors going forward. Thanks for sharing
Such a great source of info!!!
It’s so great
I love the Puppyhood site. So much great info on there!
We totally agree
Great post! Congratulations on your new addition!
Thank you so much. He is a little love muffin
This is a really cool resource! I’m glad that Purina has decided to put this together. I think that everyone believes that taking care of a cat or dog will be self-explanatory until after they’ve tried it. It does take a little homework to make everything work out just right.
you have hit the nail on the head
Adding a new puppy to the household always brings up some very interesting situations. Having a resource like Puppyhood.com will really help those lucky people out!
It’s awesome that Purina has created a Puppyhood website to help owners of puppies get all the information they need. I think it’s also great that they have article specific to puppies that live in the city. Thanks for sharing the site with us.
SO glad you found it helpful
Being someone whose had a few puppies in my lifetime I can attest that we can use all the help & resources we can get. It’s always challenging in some way and I always swear never again… but I always end up with another dog later on.
Love that there is a go-to site for puppy owners. This is great for newbies and even for experienced puppy owners!
We’ve been thinking about getting a puppy! Thanks for this 🙂
Puppies are awesome in so many ways and this site just acts as a little guidance
Oh wow – great content! My parents are getting a puppy next week (I can’t WAIT!!!!) and I’ll be sure and send them this way! 🙂
puppy puppy puppy.
So excited for you
