Puppies should not leave mom til 8 weeks old. Potty training will be the first thing. Be consistent and take the baby out every 1/2 hour if possible, if you work, then put it in a crate while you are gone. Never scream, hit or yell at a puppy, consistent praise and lots of treats when they do something right. You will need lots of chew toys to keep the baby occupied, and a good food. You will also need to keep your shoes, clothes, anythng you don't want destroyed out of puppy reach. Give him lots and lots of love and attention. Owning a dog is a huge responsibility, one that you need to be up to for the rest of the dogs life. As far as saving money, I will tell you this. Do NOT buy a dog if you cannot guarantee that you can pay for vet care, meaning all of the proper shots, and any emergency care it might need, heart worm medication, flea and tic medication and any other meds that might be needed. Buy a quality dog food, no Ol Roy crud from Wal Mart. It will need a harness, leash, grooming supplies, and if you get a long haired dog you will have a grooming bill. You will also have to consider where you will board the dog if you are going to be gone. Please don't get a puppy if you cannot afford to take very good care of it throughout its life. Also, most dogs don't like being left outside alone all the time, they want to be with people who love them. Hope all of this helps, and good luck if you get a new puppy.

You understand you must coach her wherein you wish her to potty. Putting her nostril close her mess does not coach her neither does tapping her at the nostril. I wager it does coach her something and it is that your terrible imply. Dogs have brief awareness spans. If you do not seize her within the act then it is to past due. If you're going to regard her badly then might be a brand new residence could be for the pleasant. It takes time and persistence to coach a puppy. You've had her four months. I have a couple of ideas for you to take a look at. When she's with you within the apartment hold a leash on her in order that she can't surprise off to pee and likewise that you are going to be looking her continuously. When you are taking her out to potty take her to the equal spot each time. The odor of urine will inspire her to head. If you spot her start to screw up clap your palms to startle her after which decide upon her up and take her out. Never use her title or she is going to accomplice it with terrible. Clean all of the places wherein she has had injuries with a puppy urine remover or she'll hold getting in those places. Keep an eye fixed on her 24/7 while she is out of her crate. Praise her like she simply gained one million greenbacks for you within the lottery while she is going within the proper subject. The pleasant factor you'll do is discover that she remains to be a tender little one. Have persistence and deliver her time to be trained with out being merciless to her. You would not assume a one yr and even 2 yr historical baby to be one hundred% potty educated with under no circumstances an twist of fate. Even kids which might be three, four, and five have injuries in many instances. I wish if in case you have kids or someday wish to that you just and your husband is not going to come to a decision to deliver the baby away while it does not are living as much as your entire expectancies. It will have to be no specific in your little one woman. I'd do away with the husband earlier than I'd stop my puppy or baby. He feels like he's a truly piece of labor. He is into manage and no person demands that during a husband. Another factor to do with the dog is to take her out facet inside 10 mins after she's drank and 30 after she's ate. I desire you good fortune sweetie. Eventually you'll be able to see the person you married isn't a well one. There are to many well guys on the earth to accept scum. And lifestyles is approach to brief. While looking the dog seem for indicators that she is approximately to potty. They do not simply squat and pee. They positioned their nostril down and circle for the proper position.
