When you got a puppy, did you ever think so much of your life would revolve around their poop?!

Poop accidents, soft poop, runny poop, hard poop, NOT pooping, pooping too much…..it’s just a lot of 💩, right?!

It’s not the most pleasurable topic or part of puppyhood, BUT we gotta say, we actually LIKE all the poop talk cause it gives you SO MUCH needed info about your puppy! Are they sick? Are they healthy? Is their diet not right? Do they have an allergy? A parasite? Did they ingest something they shouldn’t have? What the poop story is telling you can give you crucial info so that you can make sure your puppy is as healthy as possible.

So, how much SHOULD a healthy puppy be pooping every day? Bethany and Sparky talk about this in this week’s Ask A Puppy Training Show, Episode 154 so you know what to look out for!

Not interested in the poop talk? We’ve got plenty more topics for you to peruse from this episode!
