Welcome home puppy
When you've decided to buy a dog, there a certain number of things that you need to have in the house for the new family member. Make sure you have bought the following necessities :
1. Two bowls for water and food.
2. A bed for the dog.
3. Some flea powder.
4. Dog biscuits.
If you are keen to buy a puppy, you must ensure that he is not so young that he can't do without his mother. Different breeds of dogs take different numbers of days to become
self-dependent. Generally, a four-five weeks old puppy should be a safe bet. You'll notice that you puppy will be homesick for his first few nights. He will feel scared of his new home and might cry. Give him a warm thermos or hot water bottle to snuggle upto. Place his bed, lined with disposable rags or newspapers in a spot free from draughts. Be friendly and console him, but don't spoil him by catering to his every whimper. Probable in less than three nights you'll realize that he is just like a human baby.
From day one, you should fix things and the place for the dog so that he is habitated and easily adapts to the changes. The area where your puppy should sleep should be a small room or a fenced place to restrict the movements of the puppy. The bed should be raised a few inches from the floor. The area surrounding the bed should be well protected with newspapers in the event of a natural accident. Puppies rarely spoil their own beds. If they do, the habit can be broken if you feed them in the same spoilt bed.
The arrival of a puppy is exciting for both you and him. He would be curious to look at various places in the house and explore all. Allow him to do so. Eventually his curiosity will die down and he will obey you.
