I don’t know what to do. I just got a new puppy and already feel extremely overwhelmed. I have an extremely packed and busy schedule with virtually no free time. At the end of everyday I am exhausted, stressed, and unmotivated. I do not know how I am gong to dedicate 2-3 hours a day to this puppy. I think I made a terrible mistake.

      Puppies are generally a lot of work but if you can get past the hard years you will find that your dog is a beloved family member that you would not be the same without. My dog's name is Daisy and when she was a pup she would chew all my shoes and crap in my bed. It just takes resilience but you will find that you have a friend that will never judge you. But of course it is exhausting and that is okay. It is okay to be exhausted. If you decide to give him away you can always find an older dog that is older and more mature.

      Hey dont worry about it, i did the same thing a couple years ago. I bought a german shephard puppy at 8 weeks old to train as my ESA. Its going to be a headache, its going to be exhausting. But here i am almost 3 years later and i dont regret getting him in the slightest :). There were days i thought i wouldnt be able to give him the attention he needed, and days where i came home so tired i just passed out right away. But the dog will adapt to you, just like you will to him. What breed is the dog?
