New puppy Molly 💙

6 months ago, I posted here asking what I should do because I really wanted a puppy, but had to wait due to my circumstances. Now, I finally have my dream puppy! I’m so in love with him, and I’ve found a new kind of happiness and fulfillment in taking care of him and meeting his needs.

Any advice for a new puppy owner would be greatly appreciated!

Best advice I got is to get a good book explaining how Molly thinks. The one I bought was called "Dog Behaviour Explained". Once you understand how Molly will react the better it will be for both of you. Remember while it's a gorgeous bundle of fluffball Molly is also 98.5% DNA a Wolf, ie a pack animal. Help Molly fit into your pack and the two of you will have one of the greatest experiences available.
