If you have any doubt in your mind that a puppy won't be right for you right now, don't do it! I learned this lesson the hard way.

[@vanclemmons]

There are overthinkers who never think it’s the right time, so I wouldn’t say if you have any doubt. It’s okay to have doubts but it’s important to be ready for the challenge.

[@kiyahforever]

@vanclemmons Agreed. I was one of the ones who set aside my worries and tried to adopt a puppy anyway lol. It was an anxiety problem on my part, and our kids weren't quite responsible enough yet. Luckily, the breeder was very accommodating, and the puppy found a wonderful home. I'm excited for the next couple years when we'll be ready!!

[@vanclemmons]

@@kiyahforeverit's probably much much harder if you have kids too, cause then you have more variables in the equation, more uncertainty. A puppy is a new child basically. I'm glad you managed to get the puppy a new home, often it's the most responsible thing to do.

I rescued my second baby dawg and she 14 weeks and house Trained already! She's just one of those genius dogs. Auto sits, auto crate trained, auto fetch skill, auto open mouthed smile. She's adorable and so smart!

[@jannellmeagher638]

Every dog we have ever gotten, the first question we all answer truthfully is, does everyone in the house even want a dog to begin with. Once a family member was not on board at all and 3 years in, it was not good. I will never ever do it again. It got emotional. We are all in or not at all.

I’ve been wanting a puppy for years, but I knew the timing wasn’t right as much as I wanted and tried to brush those things off. We now just got a Sheltie puppy and it feels great! We have the time and the resources to give this puppy a very great life without feeling like our lives are falling apart. It is still a lot of work, no matter what; but we are better equipped to do that now. Our little Archie is the absolute light of our days and he is oh so loved!!!

[@woolgirl21]

Oh man, puppies are hard!!! It's like having a newborn baby again but worse haha
We got our little girl in January, she's 9 months now, it was hard work with 4 kids in tow but with lots of research and hard work we have a very clever sweet little girl now. She's a toy poodle/shih zhu

The time commitment is no joke! My husband flew out to a wedding across the country, leaving me home alone with our 14 week old Aussie puppy. While he is quite well behaved for a puppy, I do find it quite exhausting that I have to tend to him every few hours or so. Luckily thanks the management techniques from McCann dogs, having a puppy is still manageable!

[@jtai4124]

What about adopting from rescues and shelters? Can you do a similar episode on these too? Thanks

[@vanclemmons]

Thanks to you guys we were absolutely prepared for everything! I always knew I wanted a puppy but never really knew what it entails. Expecting all these hurdles you talk about in the videos made this experience so much easier and much less stressful!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Danie-S]

Nice video! The unexpected like emergencies/health issues and exercise needs are important to plan for.

[@CherylsCreativeWorld33]

Very helpful video, one that everyone prospective puppy owner needs to watch. Thanks so much!

[@suzannehubball4291]

My puppy doesn’t jump up when on the lead as I tug him down and he has learnt that, but the moment I take him off lead he’s jumping up again, jumping up doors and windows and people, will you please do a video that addresses that please?😊
