Patience<\/h2>\n<p>Any dog mom or dad will tell you, training a puppy is no easy feat. Much like children, puppies (and dogs) are notorious for waking you up in the middle of the night. Whether it&#8217;s taking them outside to go to the bathroom, cleaning up their messes from an impromptu illness, or moving them off of the bed after they managed to sneak their way up, these moments of imposition train humans to become patient in teaching and taking care of their\u00a0dogs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7346\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7346\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7346\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virtue.jpg\" alt=\"pc: @allaboutlotte \" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virtue.jpg 400w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virtue-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virtue-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/virtue-230x230.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">pc: @allaboutlotte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2.

Responsibility<\/h2>\n<p>Making the decision to bring a new family member into your home was a really big deal. Now that you have a dog, you have likely learned how to balance your time between family, friends, vacations and work hours to accommodate for the needs of your dog. These choices weren&#8217;t easy to make, but committing to them has helped you to mature and to become more responsible.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7352\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7352\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/responso.jpg\" alt=\"pc: @winnythecorgi\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/responso.jpg 400w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/responso-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/responso-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/responso-230x230.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">pc: @winnythecorgi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>4.
