    I'm not going to give the family a hard time, but I think a lot of people just don't realize how hard work it is raising a young puppy. It's like raising a child, but with 10 years all smushed into a year. There will be poo. There will be talking back. There will be nibbles in places you don't want nibbles. There will be babysitting and reorganizing your life around the puppy. There will be crazy zoomies and eventually play dates. They are not arm ornaments :). And they have an insane amount of energy! But it's so worth the effort.

      Yeah totally! I got my pup pretty late. He was already 14 weeks and even it was an adjustment for him and my family. Its not just a 24 hour care but I was also telling my small daughters that the puppy doesnt know we are "his people" yet. He has spent the majority of his life so far with his mother and the breeder's family raising him and now he is in a new environment. Thats a shock for anyone, on top of not knowing how to communicate, and also not having the wisdom and understanding of an older dogs. You need to have a lot of patience for sure.

    I really hate when people get a dog without really thinking it through. A puppy is a lot of work and they should realize that Sadie’s behavior was perfectly normal for a puppy. But I am glad that they only kept her for a week so now she can hopefully go to a much better forever home. People need to know a dog is a commitment to their lifespan, which could be 15 years or more.

      Clearly I don't know what the situation in the household was. However, a person who's never raised a puppy would probably not have any true idea of just how challenging it could be. To accept that they were in over their heads and return the puppy to the breeder was the best thing for the puppy.

    Wow. I have a hard time understanding how a family brought her back. She’s still a very young puppy. People have to understand training takes time and every puppy is different and every command is different. With my dog, some commands he understood within a few minutes and others, it took sometimes days or even weeks before he totally understood. Tricks like shake and speak, took him nearly a month but he got it eventually. My boy is very intelligent. Stubborn at times but I just love him.

      The separation anxiety was exhausting. My Doodle is 6 months now but weeks 8 -12 she would scream and cry, whenever she wasn't in her crate, and couldn't see me. I just reminded myself that she is a literal baby and alone = death. She would lose her mind even though I work from home and her playpen was not even a foot away from me. We just practiced lots of me stepping out and then back and then one day she didn't care that I left the room to go get something lol.

    I must admit 5/6 days after getting my new puppy I had severe doubts. Had I done the right thing? What if my old girl wouldn’t warm to him? Was I enough for him? Etc etc. I went one way then another for a couple of days but decided to keep him. He’s now 5 months old and it was definitely the right decision- he’s well behaved (most of the time) and brings such joy. I think it’s only natural that that anxiety kicks in- you’ve been building up to this moment and then he’s there with crying, peeing, pooping and nights of broken sleep! Glad they brought her back to you though

      Yep. Honestly puppies have to be cute because they’re so much work.. I’ve had two Labrador puppies, and they are so different from one another. My first one had normal puppy biting ofcourse but man, my second one had absolutely no bite inhibition and it became really upsetting for me at times. My first one never barked either, my second one would stand there yelling at me constantly and then snapping and I genuinely wondered wether she was just gonna be agressive. Anyway, with training training training she’s turned into the absolute sweetest baby. But we’re all in agreement that if she’d gone to a family that didn’t have the time to be so constant with it she’d have been one of those labradors Given up to a shelter for being too crazy and too much for them. It’s amazing ti see how she’s turned out with me, and I am proud of that, but it really was very hard when she was little. Puppy stage is very cute at times, but I definitely prefer them when they’re past that stage and more trained.

But, we have made it to 4+ months old with our new Australian Labradoodle and she is quite well mannered…we hope to train her to be a therapy dog now that the hospitals etc are opening back up.

      I was the exact same way when I brought home my little boy. I had watched videos on puppy training, read books, researched online, spoken with breeders and trainers -- none of it can prepare you for the real thing. It was so overwhelming and challenging, I cried for several days, and I wanted to contact the breeders to return him. However, I was kind of 'forced' (not by them of course, but through other circumstances) to stick with it. Now, I am so glad I didn't ask them to find a new home for him. He's still only 8 months old, but even in that time he has changed in a lot of ways. Still a lot of puppy behaviour, but he is my little light and joy! It's just the most wonderful feeling every morning to let him out of his room bright and early, and he's so happy to see me, whole body wiggling and rolling over for tummy scratches.
      (Still. The next time I choose to adopt, I think I might get a senior dog. Haha!)

      I had a similar experience with my puppy for the first few months. I have wanted a dog for such a long time (for over 20years, since I was a child, but my parents never let me get a dog). So during my childhood to young adulthood I have researched and researched, read books, watched videos about taking care of dogs/ puppies, and training them, volunteered at helping out with puppy classes a large rehoming organisation, etc. Even with all that knowledge, it did not really prepare me for what having an actual puppy was like, especially within the 1st month. I was very sleep deprived and went through something I found out called "puppy blues"? But I kept going with training, and taking care of her (I swear my puppy was on another level of crazy! lol, apparently she was the naughtiest out of her littermates, the breeder said...) and I have learnt I needed much more patience than I had, and I know I had a lot of patience to begin with, as most people has told me... And I'm so glad I stuck to it, because now, 2yrs and a half later, even though she still makes me mad at times, and not as affectionate a dog as I would like, but she makes me so proud at other times with all the time and effort I have put into training her, and I also wouldn't trade her for anything.

    I don't know how anyone could give up that cute little girl! For me, the first two weeks were tough with my labradoodle puppy, but I never thought of giving him up. Once we settled into a routine, it was so much easier. We eventually gave up crate training at 4 months because it wasn't working for us and he was fine around the house unsupervised as long as we blocked off non-puppy proofed areas. He's going to be 7 months soon and he is almost a perfect puppy. He hasn't had an accident in almost 3 months and the only thing he gets into is paper so we keep that far away from his reach.

      Yes, I am a little dumbfounded as to what they would have expected with getting a new puppy ?? And after only a week, I duno ... It just seem to always surprise me when ppl don't realize what getting a puppy means. I duno, glad they returned her so she can find a loving home.

There are tutorials, books all kinds of literature, NO EXCUSE in my opinion. I'm really sad to see puppies or dogs returned back because the owners think pups and dogs are self taught and they should know where to Pottie from birth!!! How ridiculous and sad for the puppies or dogs especially rescues!!! I'm very happy however that the former owners of Safe returned her to you.......you and your husband seem very dedicated to the health and welfare of these precious balls of fur, thank you both for your love and care of the Moms and puppies.

    I just got an havanese puppy Jan 3 2022 9 weeks old. I love ❤️ her so much but I can say its not easy even though I’ve had many dogs and even bred a female golden. Its like having a baby and a huge time commitment to train them. To top it off the north east weather has been awful for me and the puppy. I am definitely conditioned to freezing cold and snow now! I can see how inexperienced owners could easily be overwhelmed. Lucky for me is my puppy took to the crate and playpen ever so easily and slept through the night from day one! I also have a wonderful cat who loves playing with the puppy so makes it a bit easier to burn off some excess puppy energy..

    My 9 month old goldendoodle was absolutely entranced by your video whenever it showed the dogs! Doodles are so smart. I understand the family returning their puppy, and I'm sure in their instance it was the right thing to do. Many people get doodles because they look cute but don't look more into their training and grooming requirements. They are hyper, energetic, and headstrong dogs! But once you get past that puppy stage (thankfully i'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!) it is so worth it because you have a goofy, sweet, and extremely loyal best friend. ❤️

    OMG l was overwhelmed and stressed out the whole week. The walls are very thin in apartments. And all she did the whole week was cry for her Mother and siblings. I was so worried the neighbors would complain about her barking and crying. I would walk out to my car and l could hear her howling and crying and barking. I just 😢. It was so unfair to the little princess. So l too returned her with regret but l knew it was for the best. So l decided l would wait until l was in a house before l ever get a dog again. Apartment walls are just to thin. And l want to be a good neighbor.
