Tips for your new puppy
Congratulations on your new furry addition to the family! Bringing a new puppy into your home can be both exciting and overwhelming, but with some patience, love, and training, you can help your new puppy adjust and thrive in their new environment.
Here are some tips to help you and your new puppy get started:
Establish a routine:
Puppies thrive on routine, so it’s important to establish a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and sleep. This will help your puppy feel more secure and reduce the likelihood of accidents or behavior problems.
Set up a safe space:
Create a designated area for your puppy to sleep, eat, and play. Make sure it’s comfortable, safe, and free of hazards. You can use a crate, playpen, or baby gates to create a secure space for your puppy.
Start training early:
Puppies are like sponges when it comes to learning, so start training early to establish good habits and prevent bad ones. Focus on basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” and use positive reinforcement like treats and praise.
Socialise your puppy:
Socialisation is important for puppies to learn how to interact with people and other animals. Introduce your puppy to new experiences, people, and animals in a positive and controlled way.
Be patient and consistent:
Remember that puppies are still learning and may make mistakes or have accidents. Be patient and consistent with your training, and don’t give up on your puppy.
