I Built an outdoor shelter to make puppy training a little easier.

Is there anything cuter than bringing home a new puppy?


In the last year with many people at home more, many decided to add a pet to their family.

 I mean after all puppies are so cute, life is just full of fun with a new puppy or maybe a second puppy to play with your first dog .


One thing I've learned though to properly train a dog you need to take it outside a lot and that means  in good weather or bad.


Getting a puppy in the Autumn in much of North America means that Critical potty training requires  frequent outside visits. Training a new puppy means often going out even in the middle of the night regardless of the weather. 


Sometimes puppies are very timid and afraid of new things so if you suddenly find yourself outside in a heavy rain storm or a snowstorm holding up an umbrella might make it even more scared.


Then he won't be inclined to do his business and  you just want to get out of there get done and get back inside.



Puppies sometimes have other ideas. It Takes a lot of patience patience is hard to have when it's pouring outside or it's cold or snowing right in your face.

 YouTube Videos - Repairing a shed 14,000 views.



I'm not a frequent blogger so I don't make any money from this, but I do like to share things that I've learned .


 It's my way of paying it forward via the Internet that has given me so much. 

 I'm doing this both through the blog and through YouTube videos on occasion.


My work takes most of my time so I'm not able to share a lot of what I do at work.

Security concerns work policies with the Internet etc.


Although I don't work in any skilled trade now, I consider the training that I got very valuable. My father was not just skilled in his trade, he was a "Jack of all trades". I try to use the skills that I learned then throughout my life in very practical ways such as doing my own handyman work. I attempt DIY (do it yourself) tasks and record videos in case it seems helpful.

I'm currently on work leave due to a health issue, so I'm looking through videos of things that I've done that may be helpful.

Right now I'm dictating this blog using voice recognition because it's difficult to use my right arm.
Here is a link to the video I created on repairing a shed hinge which seems to have gotten 14,000 views already.

When I couldn't find parts I came up with a way to repair it myself and I thought I would share it.

Hoping to do more soon.
