The First Year of Raising a Puppy - Louie’s Beginnings
In this debut episode of How to Give a Dog a Good Life, we’re going back to the very start—Louie Baloo’s first year as a puppy and my journey of becoming a first-time dog owner.
I was just 16 when Louie unexpectedly came into my life, a tiny black bundle of fur who quickly became my shadow, my friend, and my greatest teacher. Join me as I share stories of Louie’s early days, from our first adventures to those unforgettable “puppy moments” that shaped our bond. We’ll talk about the joys and challenges of the puppy stage, including tips on housebreaking, socializing, and the basics of training a young dog.
You’ll also hear some of my favorite memories, like Louie’s love for high school parties, his adorable sleeping spots, and the unique ways we learned to communicate. Whether you’re raising a new puppy or just looking to understand your dog better, this episode is filled with heartwarming stories and practical advice to help you build a meaningful connection with your furry friend. Let’s dive into the beginning of Louie’s life and the lessons that have stayed with me ever since.
