Hi all!
Not intentionally planned for but everything aligned itself to happen how it should.
I quit a toxic work environment that was awful for my mental health today after four years. I feel amazing as I will be able to focus on my massage therapy career. I enjoy the profession so much as well as the flexibility of it.
Anyway, back to the puppy. My parents got a Doberman puppy about two months ago, they also have two mini poodles. They did not plan it as well as they should have and now they don’t have the time to put into her and her training as much as she needs. So today it was also decided that she will be moving in with me and my partner and our three cats next month.
I know it’s a lot, but I’ve also seen that exposure since they are puppies is super helpful. And although she’s already really hyper it’s still a good age to start training her I hope.
I’ve been wanting a puppy of this breed for years and have over indulged in watching Doberman Planet along with other training videos.
But I’m a little overwhelmed and am not sure where to start. I’m already planning on enrolling her in puppy classes and continuing to join more classes as she gets older.
She did not come from a proper breeder so I’m planning on taking her to the vet to get a full check up on her health cause I understand the breed is prone to certain illnesses.
We also live in an acre and have plenty of space for her to explore when we go on our potty walks. We will also be crating her at night in our room next to our bed so she can get used to it, if that’s the right thing to do.
I am planning on taking a few days off work in the beginning as well, and working in this industry means I’m not gone for the full day when I work, sometimes I only work for a couple of hours a day, as well as my partner. So one of us will be able to be home most of the time.
Any other ideas, tips or words of advice are much appreciated! Thank you
