Dog owners, what should I know before getting a puppy?

Adding a dog to my home has been on my mind for the past year or so. Wondering if there's any advice I should know beforehand. 🤔

Edit: I should also mention my partner and I likely won't have kids so a dog would be my child with fur. 😅

Slices of carrot or green beans, make a goo reward treat while training them. They are responsive to training with food, too many treats isn't good for them. Carrots or green beans is a good alternative.
Expect to clean up lots of accidents, don't make a big deal out of it, just clean it up and take them outside.
