In the post, she revealed that her puppy was naughty and she needed to clean the house; therefore, strapping him onto her made the most sense to her at the time.

According to The Puppy Academy, the best way to calm an overly excited puppy is to redirect their energy into a more appropriate outlet. This could involve playing a calming game of fetch, going for a walk, or providing them with a puzzle toy to keep them mentally occupied. It is also essential to avoid overstimulating your puppy, as this can make them more excited.

Maseabata Mohlakoana from Superdogs Training School told Briefly News that carrying a dog on your back is not advisable and explained a puppy's naughty behaviour.

"When puppies are bored they do anything and everything to stay stimulated which may be classified as 'bad behaviour'.
"However, they cannot really differentiate between bad and good behaviour unless taught, so whatever behaviour they have and are let to get away with, is the behaviour they’ll learn, practice and reinforce throughout their puppy stage so much so that they may grow up with it."

Mzansi shared their thoughts.

While some netizens found the video amusing, dog lovers were not happy to see the puppy being carried in the manner that it was.

"The dog is so uncomfortable, Jehova!"

"His spine. Please don’t do that."
