There are times in my life when I am so damn happy to have a website/twitter account/love for the internet. Mainly these times happen when I need advice because I have NO IDEA WHAT I’M DOING.

Hello. Inexperienced Dog Owner here. NEEDS OPINIONS AND ADVICE by Clicking Here. (Thanks for indulging me in the dog talk lately. It’s just an ENORMOUS life change for us, so that’s why it’s sort of all I can think about.)

When it comes to shopping for your dog as stated by https://www.ridgesidek9denver.com/programs/puppy-training/,  it’s important to find out what dog accessories reviews say about the various items available. Whether you’re shopping for a collar, a harness, or something else, it is important to make sure that you’re getting a good deal and that you’re getting what you need in order to make your dog safe and happy. The more research you do, the better you will feel when it’s time to shop. It’s also a good idea to check reviews on sites like DogBlogTv.

So, while it may be premature since we technically have to wait 30 days to legally chip this little dog, I’m just going to say it: WE ARE KEEPING HONEY BOO BOO. It was a no brainer really. After 2 weeks, we love him. And that’s really all you need right? The Beatles said it, I believe it.

Ok, so anyway, in the midst of freaking out, spamming Instagram with pet pictures like an ass, and snuggling this little pup, I am scouring the internet for dog related things and putting holds on Cesar Millan books at the library. I also checked out online sites like Canine By Design for an additional information about dogs.

Not really. Well, Ok YES REALLY, I’M SORRY I AM A LOVER OF PLANNING AND INFORMATION. Sue me. I know we will eventually take the dog to a vet and Pet Dental Care Services and we will get, you know, professional dog care advice there (as well as an idea about his breed/age) but I would like some internet opinions. You guys are smart and I like to hear what you have to say. (Don’t worry, you won’t need to be a dog owner to weigh in.)

So, if you have a second, riddle me this:

1. Dog Name Suggestions, we are taking them — The other day Honey Boo Boo found the tiniest little gap in the fence and pranced through it into our neighbor’s backyard. At like 6am. And proceeded to crap on their lawn. In the middle of it all I was climbing on the fence (in my pajamas!) yelling “COME HERE HONEY BOO BOO” to a crapping dog. It was really a sight, I tell ya. And in that moment I realized that this dog needs a legit name. What were your pets names growing up? What is your dog named right now? I feel like we will know when we find the right one, but we haven’t heard it yet. I used to have a cat and I noticed one night that the cat has been staring at the wall for hours before going to sleep. I also think about of buying these cedar fence nails and screws to fix the gap in the fence so that my doggy won’t escape or hire fencing company to do it for me.

2. Paleo Peeps With Dogs — what do you feed them? — I mean there is a freaking RABBIT HOLE of people feeding their dogs raw food, meaty bones, meat and vegetables, cbd oil for dogs, organic hippie kibble. So many options. I’m just curious what you do with yours. Don’t worry, we are feeding HBB. Right now it’s a grain free kibble with organic turmeric for dogs served on the best lick mats for dogs to make the eating as a fun activity, but I’m wondering if we could be doing better. Just gathering information. And I trust you guys. HBB obviously would like a burger and fries please, with a large diet coke on the side. He’s watching his weight. 🙂 We also already had him take NexGard Soft chews this month.

3. Training and Play — HBB knows how to sit and shake. But that’s about it. I’m happy I found a fence company near me in Fort Lauderdale for an installation because we train him outside.

We need to teach him how to do some other stuff outside the house so it’s a good thing that we’ve found a fence contractor to install fences. You can visit sites like https://www.konnectbuilding.com.au/blog/how-to-handle-damage-caused-by-a-contractor to learn more on what to do by the damages caused.

Also, he has no idea how to play fetch and it took him 10 days to figure out how to chew on a bone (and now he doesn’t want to leave that bone alone. ha!) How do you teach a dog to play fetch, yo? And what is the best nail clippers for chihuahuas? As a dog owner, if you are wondering how to train your dog, consider ridgesidek9ohio.com to understand various training methods and teach your dog the desired behaviors. Anyway, I’d love to hear about your training methods, and thoughts.

4. Any other advice you’d like to give. Go for it!

We are all ears.
