What do people most want help with when they get a puppy?

What is it that people find hardest?

What is that initial thing that might make the first few weeks (or months) easier to deal with?

I am very interested to know what people think....personal experience or people you know.

Thanks

Maybe I should have specified - with regards to training.

I think house training can be a sore point...and seperation training.

Thats a good one - thanks

Its funny - a couple of other people have said house training and it is something I very rarely get asked about in classes (Always something I mention)

ahh i see, my mistake..would be house training for me (with regards to the cresteds) even more so in winter months..seems easy in the summer, but no naked baby wants to go out for toilets in the wind and rain!

Most common thing I get asked about is how to train a reliable recall whatever the distraction..

How to get them to sleep through the night!

I recently got a pup and am getting up at 2 am, 4 am and 6 am to let him out, after nearly 2 weeks all I want is sleep!

Yup, and this...

Although this kind of falls under seperation training.

Biting/mouthing is another one some people struggle with. Some of the most popular breeds are the most notorious biters (yup, I'm thinking Labs, Goldens, etc!)...I vividly remember having arms covered in little needle teeth marks and scratches.
