No matter what kind of furry friend you choose to welcome into your family, everyone knows that the puppy phase is tough. But aside from the typical teething and potty training problems, some breeds are more demanding than they seem.

From high energy levels to complex training needs, these canines may not be the best fit for first-time dog owners or those seeking a lower-commitment pet. If you fall in either boat, steer clear of these 10 difficult dog breeds that are more work than you might think.

Scroll to find out some of the more difficult dog breeds that require a little extra work (& a lot of commitment!)

1. Border Collie

Lauma Augstkalne

With a history of livestock herding, Border Collies are revered for their remarkable intelligence and high energy levels. They thrive when given a task to focus on, but without a way to express their natural herding instincts, they may act out and try to outsmart their owners.

Plus, they become easily stressed when they're not provided with enough mental stimulation and physical activity.

2. Saint Bernard

Patrick Barrett Jr.

Saint Bernards may look like big teddy bears, but they can also be quite stubborn. Yes, these dogs generally have sweet personalities, yet without early socialization and consistent training, these gentle giants may develop some behavioral issues.

Keeping this breed in check is harder due to their huge size. That's why any unwanted habits, like jumping up on counters or people, can spiral out of control.

Not to mention, Saint Bernards are notorious for being messy due to their excessive drooling.

3. Siberian Husky

Kateryna Babaieva

If you looked up "high-maintenance dog" in the dictionary, you might be greeted with a picture of the Siberian Husky.

This breed is independent, extremely energetic, and requires tons of exercise and mental stimulation to remain happy. Siberian Huskies also have strong-willed personalities that may make them prone to ignoring commands and doing things their way, particularly when it comes to escaping.

These escape artists are notorious for running out the door whenever they're given the chance.

4. Jack Russell Terrier

Gundula Vogel

Jack Russells have spirited personalities and seemingly boundless energy, earning them the reputation of being "hyper."

These pups have a strong prey drive as well, meaning they're prone to behaviors such as barking and digging. These tendencies can be especially challenging for first-time dog owners to handle.

Plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization are needed to keep this breed in line.

5. Australian Cattle Dog

Yo Ormedi

Much like the Siberian Husky, Australian Cattle Dogs excel when they're physically and mentally engaged. These herding dogs are often clever enough to outsmart their owners and quickly become bored, leading them to resort to mischief.

Anyone who opts to adopt an Australian Cattle Dog must provide their pup with a lot of training and a job to do, whether it's herding, agility, or another activity.

6. Rottweiler

Katia Miasoed

Rottweilers are known for their protective and territorial instincts, and if they aren't properly trained, this breed may become aggressive.

These dogs are strong-willed, large in size, and may try to assert dominance if they sense a lack of authority. Early socialization, routine training, and assertiveness are crucial for raising a Rottweiler that's well-behaved.

7. Akita

Zen Chung

Akitas have a significant prey drive since they were bred to hunt large game, and they can exhibit aggression or behavioral issues if they're not socialized and trained properly.

This breed also tends to be protective and aloof with strangers, so it may not always get along with other canines. These dogs thrive with more experienced owners who can establish clear boundaries and provide firm training.

8. Bloodhound

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Westminster Kennel Club

Bloodhounds are renowned for their remarkable sense of smell, making them stellar hunting dogs and helpers for law enforcement officers trying to track down missing persons and fugitives.

However, this breed can be self-reliant and stubborn, which makes training more challenging. Bloodhounds can become easily distracted by scents, so traditional training techniques tend to be less effective.

9. Dachshund

Masood Aslami

Dachshunds may look tiny and harmless, but these comically long dogs also have an independent spirit (and can sometimes be stubborn).

They have a knack for being mischievous and surprising digging abilities, meaning they'll tunnel under fences or anything else that stands in their way. Consistent training is key to curbing their more curious and disruptive tendencies.

10. Dalmatian

ko tek

Last but certainly not least are Dalmatians. These dogs have loads of energy, a strong-willed nature, and crave companionship, so they need both attention and exercise to remain happy.

Otherwise, this breed can be quite chaotic. Dalmatians are well-suited for more active owners who can keep up with their lively personalities.

One of my favorite new ways to upgrade a simple and basic outfit is by throwing on a pair of gold statement earrings. They always really elevate the entire look, making me feel AND look way more put together and chic than before. I've gone through the latest trends and picked out the hottest statement earrings at the moment, so keep reading for all of our favorites worn by the likes of Hailey Bieber and more!

Heaven Mayhem Tabi Earrings

IMO, Heaven Mayhem is the queen of gold statement earrings! They have so many different styles and options for the classic and chic, cool-girl look! Even THE It-Girl herself, Hailey Bieber, has been seen rocking these beauties lately.

Heaven Mayhem Hoop Earrings

I see these earrings everywhere, and for good reason! They're a great starter pack to gold statement earrings, and they go with every outfit; casual or dressy! After these, you'll be hooked for sure!

Sézane Flora Hoops

I have these in the white, and I wear them to almost any major event, dinner, or wedding that I have because they mix and match with so many different outfits! I get soooo many compliments on them multiple times anytime I go out, so be prepared — they're well-loved!

Open Edit Teardrop Earrings

These are almost identical to the Bottega earrings that went viral last year, worn by Hailey Bieber and so many others. Except these adorable earrings are about $800 less than their designer counterpart, so I would definitely opt for this cheaper, but still chic alternative!

Madewell Chunky Heart Earrings

Madewell does such a great job with their accessories — I've bought multiple items from them with them never really tarnishing. These chunky earrings are perfectly on trend, and at such an affordable price too!

Mango Chunky Stone Earrings

I love these gold statement earrings! The hardware is definitely gold, but the pops of color in the stones bring such a fun element to any outfit. I'd pair these with an otherwise simple dress for date night, matching my bag to one of the four colors in the stones. I can totally see these with a dainty pink purse, or a classic chocolate leather bag.

Jenny Bird Florence Earrings

These were gifted to me, but I'm telling you right now, I've worn them SO much that I would buy them in a heartbeat. In fact, I've already planned to re-purchase them once they show signs of wear, but that's yet to happen after having worn them for nearly a year! They are extremely high quality, durable, and perfect for everyday use!

Coach Carriage Studs

These are giving me all the vintage-vibes with the sweet horse-drawn carriage engraved into them! I love the detailing, and I especially love how affordable they are, given these earrings are Coach. They're simple but are sure to become an everyday pair!

Madewell Pearl Earrings

Pearl and gold together just look phenomenal and so classy! I love these because they aren't as weighty, so they won't feel super heavy on your ears when you wear them, all the while still giving the illusion of more hearty earrings. Definitely perfect for a comfy, cute statement earring!

Heaven Mayhem Wine Earrings

I personally have these and wear them ALL the time! They are the perfect accessory to an all black look. My favorite way to style them is with a chic blazer and jeans with a slicked back bun, and voila! The earrings pack a punch and add some fun to an otherwise simple outfit!

Bauble Bar Flower Earrings

Flower earrings are a great way to make a statement, and I absolutely love Bauble Bar for all of their statement jewelry! They have some other great gold options that are sure to stand out and help add some flair to your outfit!

Sézane Heart Earrings

These gold statement earrings definitely made a statement (see what I did there?) when they went viral on Tiktok! They sold out for a brief moment, but they're available now, so run to grab them while they're still in stock!

Anthropologie Gold Starfish Earrings

Want to be an IRL Princess Ariel?! Then these are the earrings for you! I would definitely grab them if you have any upcoming tropical vacations planned because these would be to-die for during a beach-front dinner!

Petit Moments Dangling Earrings

Dangling earrings are such a moment because they just feel so elegant and extravagant at the same time! Every time I wear earrings like this, it feels like I'm headed off to fancy ball in a gown. And these stunning earrings are made with 18k gold plating, so they're extremely nice quality without all the fully-gold cost.

Sterling Forever Pearl Earrings

The vintage '80s brooch-looking earrings will never be out of style, I'm truly obsessed with them! If you can't thrift them, then I would highly suggest these stunning pearl earrings from Sterling Forever, because they really do look straight out of the '80s! These are the perfect statement piece to any outfit!

From the ever-popular Bump-It to tasty Lip Smackers, these “wacky” products defined 2000s beauty trends. And while some were total game-changers, others were downright disasters. Despite this, all 10 of these “wacky” beauty products definitely shaped who we are today and inspired our love for all things makeup, hair, skincare, and nails!

Scroll on to see the top 10 beauty products of the 2000s that we loved – and some we can't believe we ever used!

Amazon

1. Hair Bedazzlers

The ultimate way to bling out your look, hair bedazzlers let you snap tiny, sparkly rhinestones into your locks for a very princess-meets-pop-star vibe. Whether you were channeling your inner Britney or just wanted some extra glitz for a girls’ sleepover, this wacky gadget made every strand shimmer.

Amazon

2. Bump-Its

Now this is a classic. Remember those commercials? Nothing screamed "2000s hair" quite like Bump-Its. They were plastic inserts that promised to give your hair (especially your bangs) that effortless poof without endless teasing. We look back at them now and cringe.

Reddit

3. Crackle Nail Polish

We wish this one still existed, TBH. Crackle nail polish was the edgy, rebellious older sister of your regular ol’ nail polish. It created a cool, shattered effect as it dried. Our favorite thing to do was to pick out a silver crackle nail polish to layer over neon pinks or oranges. It’s giving Avril Lavigne energy!

@violentlips

4. Lip Tattoos

Lip gloss, who?! Lip tattoos let you rock everything from pink zebra stripes to a glittery cheetah print on your lips. Why this existed, we don’t know, but they were definitely a fun novelty at the time.

Walmart

5. Makeup “Phones”

Claire’s took so much of our money in the 2000s for these little makeup-packed phones. Beauty met tech (kind of…) with these makeup compacts disguised as flip phones – because what’s more 2000s than touching up your lip gloss while pretending to take a call?

Amazon

6. Bouncy Blush

Not quite a cream, but not quite a powder, bouncy blush was a weirdly satisfying cheek color with a wacky, squishy texture. It made applying blush feel like playing with putty, which made our teenage hearts sing. Half the fun was just poking it in the pan between uses.

Amazon

7. Hair Crimpers

Somehow, hair crimpers snuck their way into 2000s beauty trends, all the way from the ‘80s. They were the go-to styling tool! With just a few squeezes of those zig-zag plates, your hair totally transformed – but if we tried one now, it’d totally make us look like Weird Barbie.

Amazon

8. Lip Smackers

Every 2000s kid had at least five Lip Smackers floating around in their backpack! We were loyal to the classic Dr Pepper, but the brand dropped many more wacky flavors like Coca Cola, Skittles, and Fanta. They truly weren’t just lip balms – they were status symbols at every sleepover and middle school lunch table. Bonus points if you had the jumbo ones.

Amazon

9. Hair Chalk

For those who wanted to be rebels (but didn’t want to totally upset their strict parents), hair chalk was the #1 way to bring bold, colorful streaks to your locks without major consequences. While it did give a cool effect, it really didn’t stay on your strands for very long.

Amazon

10. Sun-In

You were so cool if you brought a bottle of Sun-In to the pool party. This lemon-infused lightening spray was the ultimate DIY highlight hack, but looking back now, all it did was damage our strands. We’ll never forget that smell, either!

Hello, starlights, and welcome to March 2025 — the month of rebirth and the renewal of the spirit. Spring awaits, awakening us to pick up speed. However, the cosmos percolates major lessons and shifts for everyone this month. Hold off on manifestation rituals, dates, or business launches, as we have retrogrades and eclipses. This month is all about the importance of prioritizing rest and future intentions. Love takes the backseat as Venus retrograde brings major lessons involving self-worth and values.

On top of that, Mercury retrograde will also set the brakes and scope in the importance of reviewing our communication process and ideas. That’s not all — eclipse season is here again, continuing our story arc that involves closing the chapter on past habits and healing while igniting set changes involving leadership and passion. The best part of this month is that we are about to witness a rare cosmic event — Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861! Marking a new era involving cultural shifts and a quantum leap toward new beginnings. Let’s take a deep dive and collectively find out what is in store this month. Also, look at what your zodiac sign will experience in March 2025. Check out your sun, moon, and rising sign for extended insight!

What To Expect in Your March Horoscope For 2025

Ava Dillon

March 2025 will be powerful and involve lessons in love and communication, yet it is also promising that people will begin living more intentionally. We start with Venus retrograde on March 1. These next several weeks will have us reexamine our love connections while also taking a closer look at our confidence levels. You can be delulu when involving love, as Venus retrograde can rope in insecurity in established relationships. Set realistic expectations and observe how you have lived your love story so far. Refine and redirect once Venus goes forward in motion on April 12. Although it isn’t favorable to start dating, reflecting on your self-worth and what beauty means for you is more impactful.

To support this phase, consider a self-worth ritual using rose quartz. Hold the crystal while reciting affirmations in the mirror, reminding yourself of your inherent value. This is also a time for energy healing — Reiki or guided meditations can help restore emotional balance. However, avoid major cosmetic procedures or hair transformations, or the results may backfire. Also, be mindful of making big purchases such as booking a venue or wedding dress shopping. Trust me, it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Lauren Hemmert-Jensen

Conversations will begin to energize as Mercury enters Aries on March 3, spiraling in quick new ideas and more grit involving plans. Tempers could flare, and patience levels may run thin, as Aries wants nothing more than to get things started. It is a good time to initiate discussions or plant ideas but not a great time to negotiate. Expect more gridlock in communication as Mercury retrograde (yes, again) begins on March 15. This is a period for you to take the backseat and reevaluate your past thoughts involving leadership, authority, and how you intentionally live your life.

Journaling can be a powerful tool during this Mercury retrograde. Consider prompts like: “What leadership qualities do I admire, and how do I embody them?” or “How have I been communicating my needs, and where can I improve?” This retrograde can lead to a range of impulsive decisions or misunderstandings, so grounding yourself with mindful breathing exercises can bring clarity.

tamara antovic

Eclipse season begins on March 14, and it kicks off with the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This eclipse marks the end of a chapter involving our habits and the beginning of a period of becoming more aligned with our well-being. It is a period to remove yourself from toxic situations and clear out the mind, body, and spirit. Your body knows what it needs.

Engage in a cleansing ritual to align with this lunar eclipse — salt baths, decluttering your space, or walking barefoot on grass can help ground you. This lunation will reveal what is weighing you down and help you make peace with the idea of letting go.

Madi Fagan

Then, Aries season begins on March 20, and in the middle of eclipse season, we will have to be mindful of burnout and more self-aware about how we can best utilize our energy. Aries desires movement, but with the eclipses happening, this is not an ideal time for spontaneous plans. Rest and observe your inner fire. Nurture it by granting yourself patience. Venus then shifts back into Pisces on March 27, immersing us in the need for more beauty and pleasure. Although this month may be sluggish involving plans, Venus in Pisces will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Set aside time to engage in creative expression. Painting, visiting an art museum, writing poetry, or immersing yourself in music will infuse your life with magic. These artistic activities will help you channel Venus in Pisces' dreamy energy and bring a sense of peace amid the cosmic chaos.

Mathilde Lagarrigue

Then, the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29 will begin a new era involving ambition and optimism in our journeys. As land-locked as you may feel this month, this solar eclipse will power up your hope and energize you to keep going. Any new ideas that come through are worth noting. In these next six months, expect momentum and continuous motivation.

To harness the power of this eclipse, try a candle meditation. Light a red or gold candle and focus on the flame, visualizing your goals manifesting over time. This will help you align with the upcoming wave of ambition without rushing into impulsive decisions.

Júlia Lafulla

March 30 concludes with a historical moment — Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861. It portends an era that will result in a powerful fusion of a spiritual movement and assertiveness. Humanity will thrive more on transparency and a direct focus on making things happen. Everything left unseen and left to the mystery will be revealed. The truth is key to making things happen.

This transit calls for bold spiritual practices. Breathwork, fire rituals, or working with red jasper can amplify your confidence and strengthen your spiritual vision. This is a time to trust your inner wisdom and take steps toward turning dreams into reality.

March is a month of deep shifts and preparation. Take it slow, listen to your intuition, and allow cosmic timing to unfold. The magic is already in motion — believe in it.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Hello, Aries! Expect March to be game-changing as several transits illuminate your first house of self and identity. Deep reflection, personal transformation, and energetic renewal are in store for you, but you must flex your ability to remain patient as retrograde and eclipses redirects your focus. Let's dive into your forecast:

March 1 – Venus Retrograde What do you see when you look into the mirror, Aries? Venus retrograde begins in your sign before retreating into your 12th house next month, and the love planet urges you to reflect on your self-worth, beauty, and past relationships. Nostalgia may pull your heartstrings, and hidden emotions resurface. Focus on self-care and healing rather than seeking external validation.

Expect the wheels to turn as your mind sharpens with Mercury entering your sign on March 3. If you felt hazy these last several weeks, this is your chance to find clarity in your ideas and the gumption to push through with your ambitions. Be mindful if your patience wears thin--your words may carry more weight than intended.

The Lunar Eclipse on March 14 signals a time for you to take care of your body. Recalibrate your mind, body, and spirit these next six months as a major shift in your daily habits and work-life balance arrives with the lunar eclipse in your 6th house. This eclipse will force you to slow down if you've been overworking. Pay close attention to your health and eliminate toxic routines that drain your energy.

Mercury retrograde begins on March 15. It is crucial to reflect on and review your current frame of mind and articulation. With the messenger planet in your sign, it is necessary to rethink your approach to self-expression. This is a period of introspection — avoid launching new projects and refine your vision this month. Miscommunications are likely, so choose your words wisely.

On March 20, your season begins with the Sun entering your sign. Although many shifts are happening, the Sun recharges your energy and confidence, bringing a renewed sense of purpose. This is your cosmic reset button — use it to set intentions for the year ahead.

Here is another cosmic boost for you: the solar eclipse will happen in your sign for the last time until 18 years from now (you made it!) on March 29. This powerful lunation signals a fresh start in your identity and personal goals. You're stepping into a new version of yourself—bold, ambitious, and ready to take charge. Be mindful of impulsive decisions as your glow-up will unfold over the next six months.

A rare and profound shift begins as Neptune moves into your sign on March 30, launching a long-term spiritual awakening and self-discovery journey. Your dreams and intuition will take center stage — trust the visions that arise. Take your time to review your path. The Universe is rooting for you to succeed!

Brit + Co

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

It is time to wind down and explore the inner realms, Taurus. The cosmos urges you to reflect and assess your emotional and spiritual well-being. With major activity happening in your 12th house, this is a time of release, healing, and reconnecting with your inner truth.

On March 1, observe your internal landscape as Venus retrograde unveils, inspires you to go through inner work, and prompts you to beautify your soul. When it progresses into your 11th house later this month, Venus will prompt you to pay attention to your friendships, support systems, and personal dreams. You may re-evaluate certain relationships, realizing who truly stands by your side. If past friendships resurface, reflect on whether they align with your growth. Avoid making impulsive social commitments, as clarity will come after April 12 when Venus moves forward again.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, sharpening your intuition and bringing subconscious thoughts to the surface. Dreams may be more vivid, and hidden messages could reveal themselves. However, by March 15, Mercury retrograde begins, urging you to slow down. Miscommunications may arise, and you’ll benefit from journaling or meditation to sort through your thoughts rather than making big decisions.

The March 14 Lunar Eclipse in your 5th house illuminates themes of creativity, passion, and personal joy. If you’ve felt blocked in expressing yourself, this lunation encourages you to release your fears. It’s also a powerful time to close a chapter in love—especially if a connection has been draining rather than inspiring.

With the Sun entering Aries on March 20 and a Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 12th house is once again activated. This signals a rebirth in your spiritual journey. Pay attention to intuitive nudges, and allow yourself time to rest before stepping into a new cycle of self-discovery.

Changes are brewing beginning on March 30 as Neptune enters Aries and this long-term transit calls for deep spiritual awakening. You’re being guided to trust divine timing and surrender what no longer serves you. Engage in breathwork, energy healing, or time in solitude to align with this cosmic reset.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

As the social butterfly of the zodiac, March brings you an exciting yet reflective month, Gemini. The cosmos begins its work in your 11th house of friendships, goals, and networking. Venus and Mercury in retrograde this month sheds light on how you truly align with your intentions.

On March 1, your views will alter your feelings in your networks and friendship circles as Venus retrograde will help you see how far you are progressing with your goals and whether you are given authentic support. Later this month, the love planet moves back into your 10th house, granting you focus on career matters. You may find yourself questioning your professional relationships or re-evaluating your public image. Avoid making major career decisions or committing to new collaborations until Venus moves direct on April 12.

On March 3, Mercury enters Aries, energizing your social sector and inspiring you to connect with like-minded people. This is a great time for brainstorming and creative collaboration. However, as Mercury retrograde begins on March 15, you may need to reassess certain friendships and group dynamics. Misunderstandings can arise, so be mindful of communication mishaps.

The March 14 Lunar Eclipse in your 4th house brings major revelations regarding home and family matters. If you’ve been feeling unbalanced in your private life, this eclipse will push you to address emotional wounds or restructure your living situation. Pay attention to what needs closure or refining.

As the Sun enters Aries on March 20, followed by the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29, your 11th house is fully activated. This signals a new beginning in your social world—perhaps a fresh vision for the future, a new social circle, or an exciting collaboration. Still, take it slow and allow things to unfold organically.

On March 30, Neptune enters Aries and influences your long-term dreams and ideals! You may feel drawn to humanitarian efforts or creative projects that inspire collective change. Trust your intuition, but take baby steps to build up to something magical. Take your time navigating social shifts and career reflections, and allow the universe to realign your path.
