Pondering A Puppy? We've got tips for you!

Is there a right or good time to get a puppy?  I had this conversation with my mum recently we didn't established an answer but needless to say she has a puppy.  Visits now include enjoying the whirlwind blur of a four legged fluff ball speeding around the hall on a mission to eat trousers and shoes.

Reliable as we are at Ace Canine we're sharing are our top rehearsal tips to see if you're ready for the new puppy challenge:

Best tested in the winter months but it applies all year round.

1.Buy a lead and tie it to a big stone, walk around dragging the stone behind you, then after waiting for a bit, pick it up and carry it.
2. Get up at 5am, go out in the pouring rain and walk up and down a muddy path, repeating good girl/boy, wee wees…poo poos, quickly please.
3. Stuff your pockets with plastic bags and pick up all the poo you can find, obviously not your dogs as you have not bought it yet.
4. Start wearing your shoes indoors, especially during muddy times.
5. Collect leaves off the ground and spread them on the floor in every room.
6. Carry sticks and branches indoors and chop them up on your carpet.
7. Pour cold apple juice on the rug and floor….walk barefooted over it in the dark.
8. Drop some chocolate pudding on your carpet in the morning and then try to clean it in the evening.
9. Wear socks in which you have made holes using a blender.
10. Jump out of your favourite chair just before the movie ends and run to open  back door.
11. Cover all your best clothes with dog hair, dark clothes with blond hairs and light clothes with dark hairs.

12. Tip all just ironed clothes on the floor
13. Make little pin holes in all your furniture, especially chair and table legs.
14. When doing dishes, splash water all over the place and don’t wipe it.
15. Spread toilet paper all over the house when you leave the house and tidy up when you get back home.
16. Forget any impulse holidays and/or breaks.
17. Always go home straight after work or school.
18. Go walkies no matter what the weather, and inspect every dirty paper, chewing gum and dead fly you might find.
19. Wake up at 3am. Place a correct size bag of flour on top of yourself and try to sleep, whilst wiping your face with a dishcloth, which you left next to your bed in a bowl last week.      

And last but by no means least give up trying to complete a spoken sentence for at least a few months without spontaneously including 'leave it' 'give that back' or 'you've just been out already' embellished with your favourite collection of colourful words.

Does that help?  

The whirlwind blur of four legged fluff ball does sleep occasionally.❤️
