Another important factor to consider when adopting a puppy is the timing. Puppies in many ways remind us of toddlers. They require constant care, intentional positive training, and require much attention. You must have time to be consistent in potty training your new doodle pup. If you are in the middle of moving, adding a human baby to your family, or anticipating a life transition that requires your time and attention, this may not be the right time to consider adopting a puppy. Once things settle back into a dependable routine and you can invest the time needed, revisit your desire to adopt a puppy. We think both you and your puppy will be happier!
