I decided to get a puppy. I was raised with tons of cats around but never dogs. I've always wanted to have one and decided it's time. Do you guys have any tips for an unexperienced dog owner? Possibly some youtube channels or good books on raising a dog properly. Any sort of advice and tips are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Don't treat it like a child.
Actually make sure you have time for it and attentions to give it.
You're committing for 10+ years.

I am aware of this. I don't have to work a lot. Maybe an hour a day at max. I just want to have a little buddy with me since I'm pretty lonely. Do you have some do's and dont's?

What Breed?
Keep in mind that dogs are like people, they don't always fit their general description. My family got a pug, expecting a lazy loaf that's chill, we got a hyper crazy pug. I still love him to pieces though. Also don't forget to make sure they know you're the alpha of the house. It will probably not happen too often but you may have to hold them on the ground for a minute, just to show dominance, then that's it. Don't go overboard with it.
