Pick one spot, either inside or outside, and stick to it religiously. Dogs learn through routine and smell, so taking them to the same corner builds habits fast. When they get it right, treat it like a major win with cheers and treats. Puppyhood is a whirlwind, so here is the no-fluff reality check. Shopping for supplies can be a trap. Ignore the fancy marketing for 20 types of bowls or expensive beds. Your puppy needs a safe, washable mat and a sturdy stainless steel bowl that stays put. Enzyme cleaners are your best friend because accidents are part of the process. The costs add up, so budget for monthly essentials including food, grooming, and unexpected vet visits. Puppies are endlessly curious, which means wires, shoes, and furniture are fair game for chewing. Puppy-proofing is not a suggestion. It is essential to keep them safe. Consistency is your superpower. Whether it is meal times or walking schedules, keeping a rhythm helps your puppy settle in faster. We know the 2 AM wake-up calls and the stress of a crying pup. We are here to help you manage the routine, so you have more energy for the actual fun stuff. From daily relief walks to fresh meals that picky eaters love, we handle the logistics while you handle the belly rubs. ## About Sploot We're dog parents just like you, living through the 2 AM poop checks and the endless zoomies.
