We just brought home a puppy for the first time in 6 years. He's a mini bernedoodle/goldendoodle mix, 10 weeks old. It's not the best start. The breeders fed him right before we picked him up, so he was car sick on the way back (puked 4 times.) They didn't give us anything from his mother to take, so the transition made him anxious and unwilling to warm up to us. Now that he's home, he's marking & pooping, teething on stuff, and freaking out when we go upstairs.
We had a quiet, easygoing Bassett Hound, so as a puppy he wasn't anxious or stressed.
Anyone have tips on how to train an anxious puppy? Please, any advice is appreciated 👏👏👏👏
I'm 30 and doing this with my folks and I'm kinda freaking out and wondering if I chose the breed or should've went to a shelter where I could get to know the dog instead of going on a 3hr drive to get a dog that doesn't even know us…😨😰😨😰
