20+ Memes That Will Give You Flashback Nightmares of Your Dog’s Puppy Phase

Depending on how long ago you adopted your dog, chances are they're no longer a puppy at this juncture. As the years pass by with your doggo, you've had the chance to grow with them, train them, and teach them how to properly behave. Most dog owners can recall what the puppy stage was like before their dogs were actually able to follow directions and listen to guidance. 

The puppy stage has been labeled somewhat of a nightmare by people who struggled to get through the ups and downs. Puppies pee on carpets, chew up rugs, bark at strangers, and go crazy without their leashes in public. They jump on furniture, steal unfinished food, and break things unintentionally. At the end of the day, though, it's hard to get angry at puppies who never bring destruction on purpose while they're in their learning phase. These memes will give you flashbacks of that wildly unforgettable time in your life.
