| Settling your dog or puppy in to their new home |
|
| When a puppy is first brought home, he
will somewhat be confused and apprehensive. Therefore the first place that
you need to show your puppy is his permanent toilet area. If he does potty,
praise him but don't be too upset if he doesn't get the message just yet.
Housetraining takes a lot of time and patience, so don't give up so
easily.
Once indoor, restrict your pup to one room. Let him sniff around and familiarize himself with his surroundings. Introduce him to his bed and food and water bowls. Praise him for little things, such as being bold, playful and beautiful. Don't speak harshly or punish your new dog yet. He needs to trust, not fear you during the first few days. You'll have plenty of time to train him after the adjustment period. Try not to have friends around to the house until your new pet has settled in. You need to get your new dog get used to you and the family member first before introducing him to strangers. Puppies are not toys, and need to be left alone when resting or eating. So if there are children in the family, try to get them to be gentle with the new dog. |
