Hey guys, I’m 21M and I’ve got a Beagle (he’s 4.5 yrs old now). Before him, we had 4 other dogs.
The first one died when I was just 1. The second was Lexy, a street dog. She passed away from paralysis. The third is Jerry (named him after Tom & Jerry lol). He’s still alive, stays at our farmhouse, super active, and manages the livestock there. I actually rescued him from the street. The fourth was Lucy, a mixed labrador. She died in a car accident when I was on my way to school.
Now about Jimmy (the Beagle). I bought him when he was 3 months old for around $204 from a local dog farm in Jaipur, Rajasthan. He was super skinny when I got him, looked like he was kept in really poor condition. I decided to take full care of him — gave him good food, walks, everything.
Then came the pee and poop training part. Puppies below 8 months pee a lot, so I started noticing his pattern. When he was around 5 months old, I used to take him out every 15 mins. Slowly I made it 30, then 45, then an hour, and so on. Now he can hold it for around 3 hours, which is pretty decent.
After every meal, I take him out for a walk too. The problem is, his schedule has become too fixed now. He starts whining around 6:25–6:30 every morning to go out.
At first, I didn’t mind it. But now it’s honestly starting to irritate me. No one else in my family takes care of him. When he starts whining, it literally gets on my nerves — that sound feels like torture sometimes.
I work from home, and when he starts whining during my work hours, I get so annoyed that I sometimes yell at him out of frustration. And the worst part? Everyone in my family just says, “Go take him out,” like it’s only my job. They wanted a dog, but I’m the only one actually doing everything.
Now I’m just stuck. I love him, but this routine is draining me. Thinking to change his schedule a bit, cuz this can’t go on like this.
I want a Solution can someone give me a advice ?
