Took her home this weekend. They say the first few weeks are most difficult, but loving every moment of it. Just super tired though 😴.
Open for any tips on how to survive the first two weeks would help!

Routines are key. Playtime is key. Give them love but they also need discipline if you want them to develop into well-behaved pups. I’d probably wait until they’re like 3-4 months before trying to train them with treats as many breeds have very sensitive stomachs when they’re that young (my golden had a tough time with figuring out which food worked for him; ended up going with science diet). Enjoy life with your new fur-child/best friend 😄.

Get your pup a playpen and crate train for sure. We’ve gotten 2 dogs from a young age <4 months old and crate training worked really well for both. Once they are good in the crate you can start working them into a playpen and then around 6 months can start letting them have freedom(while keeping an eye on them). Our German Shepard is now almost 2 years old and at around the 8 month point he started to be a lot more reliable to leave alone without him chewing everything up.

Crate training and lots of treats! Do your best to stick to a schedule, that way the puppy learns what to expect. Reward all good behavior and redirect bad behavior. Avoid just saying no - puppy won’t learn what that means. Get natures miracle to remove the enzyme and odor for any accidents.

Crate training for sure. Puppies can behave like puppies for up to two years! Consistency in discipline is key.

Don’t give your pup rawhide! Its not healthy and can’t be digested. Try bully sticks + a bully stick holder. SafetyChew is our favorite and their stick quality is amazing. It’s been a lifesaver especially when working from home with a pup. Safetychew.com

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

My body has always been sensitive to medication so possibly that’s it - do I lower dose to 25 or just say screw it as I don’t know if my body/brain is taking a liking to this kind of medic
