Yes, the Puppy Blues are real!
Many new owners experience a wave of overwhelm once the excitement settles. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad owner, it means you’re human.
Common feelings (and why they happen) -
🐶 Frustrated because your puppy isn’t listening the way you expected.
🐶 Convinced you’re doing everything wrong, even when you’re trying your best.
🐶 Exhausted from broken sleep, toilet trips at 2am and constant supervision.
🐶 Emotionally drained from juggling work, life and raising a tiny land-shark with sharp teeth.
These emotions are far more common than people admit.
BUT - You do come out the other side.
With consistency, support, and the right guidance, your puppy settles into routines, sleeps longer, listens better and the chaos starts to fade. Most owners look back later and think, 'I can’t believe how hard that felt at the time.'
Why getting a trainer early makes life easier -
✅ You get clear, step-by-step guidance instead of guessing.
✅ You avoid common mistakes that lead to stress and frustration.
✅ A trainer helps you understand what’s normal vs. what needs support.
✅ You build good habits early, which makes everything, sleep, toileting, play and training smoother.
✅ You feel supported, not alone.
