do you ever laugh with your friends and think oh this is the point. this is the point of everything

I really don't have good words for this but I get a lot of messages and asks etc that boil down to "my teenage puppy dog isn't behaving like a 3 yr old and I'm worried they'll be this way forever."

Your 7 month old is a teenage puppy

Your 1 yr old is a teenage puppy

Depends on the dog but often your 20 month old is a teenage puppy

Even past for some though I haven't experienced that yet

And teenage dogs are harder than anything any trainer has worked in an equivalent adult dog lmao! Their brains straight up aren't doing adult dog things. They're sorting and working it all out

Please, please do not expect fully adult behavior out of a teenage dog. Don't take one or even three experiences as How The Dog Is. Patience, patience, time and rewards for what it is you do want them to do. And time. Please

#need to print this post onto the backs of my eyelids for when goldfinch hits adolescence #thankyou op

I’m convinced that “puppy breath” smell must have some sort of cilantro-bitter-gene component to it bc I don’t get why so many go crazy over “omg puppy breath!!” when it just. smells like skunk.

#to me it smells sweet and kind of powdery? its a subtle smell but soooo good. to me #fascinating to know others experience it so differently

one neat bonus of being a picky eater as a child is that adult life is filled with so many beautiful discoveries. have you guys heard about caesar salad? im turning 26 this week

Everyone else talked about outdoor cats, it's time for me to talk about offleash dogs

I will never understand some dog trainers aversion to just not allowing a dog that guards resources from other dogs to interact with other dogs when having that resource. it's just so simple. or like. just closing a gate or door.

technically not dog content but i mean. look at this
