#pupski! Prepare to clean up a lot of pee. What breed? How many awws per hour?

If it's your first dog, I recommend Cesar's book. Lots of great tips on how to train them properly.

Been watching Ceasar a little recently as per CGPGrey's recommendation. Apparently, it's a great way to deal with kid too so might as well get a headstart :P

I remember him mentioning that! It's all about respect. Don't recommend putting kids on a leash though.

Yeah, he was talking about the importance of body language and how to establish yourself as the "leader" of the pack of kids you're trying to teach something. Makes sense, I've had a lot of really nice teachers that simply could not control the class in the past.

I'm a dad, I'm used to cleaning up pee!

He's a 8 week old black pug, and yes I do know about all the issues they have, before anybody points this out to me -- the wife did her research and she is very happy with the dog she has chosen.

We've yet to pick him up as we're going away for a few days, but once we do it'll be a constant hum of "awwwwww" from our house I think.
