Poor Dave…moaning again. Thought you didn’t need any advice Tally?
Maybe give him some attention? Exercise? Play? Training? You know, things a growing puppy needs to tire him out and sleep.

Crying because work(?!) and a puppy they chose to get is a lot….imagine the state she’d be with a proper job or when the inevitable cash cow/baby comes along

I’m sorry, she’s crying?! They really shouldn’t have got a pet. She is barely able to cope with anything beyond what looks like depressive behaviour and should seek help.
 
Tally, how about you do the kind thing now and let Dave go to a family who will take the time and effort to get to know him and train him to do all the things you miraculously just expect him to know how to do? Then you can stop behaving like a resentful brat and go back to your gluttony and laziness in peace.

100% this. Fine if she’s not in the mental or physical place to give this animal a worthy home, but he shouldn’t have to suffer for her laziness/ineptitude.
 
Why is she acting like the dog is a newborn baby who won’t sleep? She’s had him a week, she “works” from home, why does he need a formal nap schedule? She’s just saying she can’t be arsed with him.
Yes, we crate trained our pup which means crate overnight and for a few hours a day, to get them used to the crate. It’s not forced sleep because he “doesn’t know he needs a nap”!? If you put him in the crate and he barks, guess what… you deal with and ignore it!! !

She clearly has put no work in. Now is the time to build his confidence with the lead, play brain games, get him to learn some tricks, play in the garden. Honestlyyyyy I thought she couldn’t get more annoying!
 
We learnt quickly if we didn’t stimulate our pup he became the devil incarnate and wouldn’t settle/sleep/no ankle was safe. So we put the time in with him and he would then take himself off for a snooze, sometimes he’d just fall asleep mid game (the cutest) it’s so rewarding teaching them new things and they’re so eager to please. Surely you’d do your research and understand what you’d need to do for the next few weeks/months. He’ll be even more of a massive inconvenience to her in the run up to the wedding, hope he 💩 on her dress 😂
 
He’s a puppy ffs. He’s not an adult who gets crotchety because they’ve had a bad night.

She really has no bleeping idea. I lost the plot when we lost the wellies/a puffa/some chargers/a remote or two during the ten month old horror stage. But at no point was that ever her fault. There was no conscious decision making element to it. We read the books again, changed our routine, tried (failed) and tried again. At ten years we are still learning. An older dog needs just as much care and love (and attentiveness to see that routines don’t need to change to match changing mobility).

It’s so maddening to see someone so passive towards the care of an animal. duck off back to London Tally and get back to fiddling with your clothes in front of your camera. You obviously love it. Idiot.
 
Excuse me quoting myself from only a week ago where it’s already come true. I really feel for Dave.

I want him. I really do! I don’t live too far from her either (maybe 30 mins) so perhaps I should just arrive and offer to take him off her hands and put a burger and fries, and Netflix in his place, and take this gorgeous dog to a loving family!
 
Hiya Tally….mention after the dog trainer after we mentioned it here….surely they’d have helped you with the tiredness ‘issues’
Also does PD (Poor Dave) get made to stay in another room, away from them. They’re sat on the sofa in the living room and there’s absolutely no sign of him, or anything PD related. Gets sadder by the day for the little guy

Yeah this seemed so weird to me? The evenings are probably the one time your pup is likely to sit and chill with you, because he’s so worn out from all the activities you’ve done that day. Why is she hoping he’ll sit in his crate in the evening? My literal biggest joy in life is being snuggled up with my husband and our dog watching TV and he’s all snoozy from the day (dog and husband 😂😂)
 
I never let my puppy/ dog nap in her crate, she always sat on our sofa or usually our laps. I was lucky that she seemed to settle overnight in her crate and didn't seem bothered. Have to add she is my first dog so learned as I went along. I couldn't afford 1 to 1 dog training so just did my own research.
I get so fed up with influencers just spending money to sort the problem.
