YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE MONTHS AND NOW THE BIG DAY IS FINALLY HERE. YOU BRING YOUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY HOME AND SUDDENLY THE WORK BEGINS. HOUSETRAINING, TEETHING, AND ANXIETY OVER MISSED LITTERMATES, ARE ONLY PART OF THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH RAISING A PUPPY. BECOME A HAPPY AND WELL ADJUSTED MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
CRATES
DOGS ARE INSTINCTIVELY DEN ANIMALS, SO CRATE TRAINING IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO MAKE PUPS FELL SAFE, AND PROTECTED, IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT. IT'S ALSO A GREAT WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOUSE FROM UNNECESSARY DAMAGE AND MESSES, WHILE YOU ARE AWAY.
BEDS
GIVING PUPPIES A NEST OR BOLSTERED AREA TO SLEEP, CAN MAKE BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR LITTLERMATES, A LITTLE LESS STRESSFUL. AND GIVE THEN A FELLING OF SECURITY. IT CAN ALSO HELP KEEP YOUR PUPPY FROM MAKING YOUR BED HIS NEW FAVORITE SPOT.
FOOD
PUPPIES HAVE VERY SPECIFIC NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND REQUIRE SPECIAL FOOD, THEIR FIRST YEAR OF LIFE TO ENSURE TO PROPER DEVELOPMENT. STARTING YOUR PUPPY OFF RIGHT WITH A PREMIUM FOOD, WILL PROVIDE THE NUTRITION HE/SHE NEEDS FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE.
COLLARS AND NAME TAGS.
FOR THEIR PROTECTION AND YOUR PEACE OF MIND, SHOULD THEY BECOME LOST. ALL PUPPIES SHOULD HAVE A COLLAR OR HARNESS WITH A NAME TAGE.
WALKING PUPS ON A LEAD HELPS ENSURE THEIR SAFETY.
HOUSETRAINING
ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING ASPECTS OF RAISING A PUPPY CAN BE HOUSETRAINING. USING A TRAINING AID LIKE PUDDLE PADS IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH YOUR PUPPY, WHERE TO GO AND DEEP MESSES IN YOUR HOUSE TO A MINIMUM.
TOYS AND TRETS
A GREAT WAY TO BOND WITH YOUR PUPPY, IS WITH TOYS AND TREATS. TREATS CAN BE A VARIETY OF USES.
PLUSH SQUEAKY TOYS CAN BED USED FOR PLAY OR CONFORT. GUM A BONES FOR TEETHING AND CHEWING, RUBBER TOYS WITH HOLES CAN BE FILLED WITH TREATS AND KEEP PUPS ACCUPIED FOR HOURS.
WHILE THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, IT SHOULD GET YOU STARTED ON YOUR WAY TO RAISING A HAPPY AND HEALTHY PUP.
ABOVE ALL ELSE. GIVE THEM CLEAR BOUNDARIES AND LOTS OF LOVE AND YOU'LL HAVE A FAITHFUL MEMBER OF THE FAMILY FOR YEARS TO COME.
Its nice to know that the puppies are trained to go on the training pads. I use, simple Solution training pads. It is a real big plus, that the pup that you bring home with you is all ready trained to go on the pad. They are specially scented to attract the puppy to the pad. when starting to train your puppy, pay close attention to signs that your puppy needs to go. These sings include, sniffing the floor, circling and starting to squat. Be patent. The puppy housebreaking process will take several weeks but with consistency and patience and praise, both you and your puppy will get the job done.
