Puppy Do’s and Don’ts

The welcoming of a new puppy into your home is a joyous occasion that should be remembered by both you and your new canine companion. It’s crucial to remember that your puppy has just left their littermates and mother, which can be upsetting. As a result, you must get your puppy off to a good start and assist them in settling in.

It can be time-consuming and challenging to care for newborn puppies and kittens. It’s fun to watch them develop from helpless babies to more self-reliant, healthier creatures.

— Do’s

— For the first few months with you, your puppy will most likely sleep in a crate, so make sure it’s a smooth transition from their litter. Bringing a blanket from their biological mother, as well as a few toys and the same meals they’ve been consuming, can help with the transition.

— The bladder of a puppy is relatively tiny. If your doggy is smelling the floor or circling about, your puppy most certainly needs to go to the bathroom. So carefully pick your pup up and get them outside as soon as possible. In time, you’ll be able to call your puppy and have him/her follow you so that they can figure out where you’re going. However, in the beginning, focus on getting your puppy outside as quickly as possible to avoid mishaps. Accidents will, nevertheless, continue to occur. As a result, have the necessary cleaning supplies on hand.

— If you plan to buy or adopt a puppy, make sure you’ll have enough time to build a deep attachment with them. Your puppy should associate you with both affection and power. It’s possible that you won’t build a strong bond with your puppy if you don’t spend enough time with them right after you bring them home.

— Visit your veterinarian for immunizations and routine health care regularly.

— One command at a time should be taught to him. Even the most intelligent doggy can be easily confused by multiple commands.

— Don’ts

— While it’s natural for other pets to be wary at first, you should take the time to gradually acclimatize them to the presence of a new animal in the house. Before the puppy arrives, bring all of your pet supplies into the home and schedule time to introduce your pets in a secure and controlled environment. Treats should be present, and you should make sure that all of your pets are calm before you begin.

— Allowing your puppy to chew on your hands or other areas of your body is not a good idea. When the doggy gets older, this can become a significant problem that is difficult to break and damage. Please don’t allow them to chew on your shoes, socks, or other clothing. Doggies cannot discern between new and old goods, and if left alone, they will most likely chew on the wrong object.

— Don’t take your puppy to doggy parks, public spaces, or uncharted territory where illness contamination is possible. Puppies are not fully protected by their immunizations until they are four months old.

— For the first few nights in your home, your puppy will cry. That is very typical. Whatever you do, don’t succumb to their pleas for consolation. It may appear not kind, but if you pay attention to them when they complain, they’ll learn that throwing a hissy fit gets them what they want.

Conclusion

Being knowledgeable and responsible is the most vital aspect of keeping a doggy. You should be able to start a long and happy relationship with your new puppy if you follow these tips.
