So are you thinking of adopting a furry guy? That is a decision that should not be taken lightly, since we are talking about taking home an animal that can live an average of 20 years, and that during all that time it will need a good family to take care of it as it should. deserves. In case you have already thought about it, then I can only congratulate you, because surely your life and that of your home will change a lot -for the better- from the first moment the animal arrives home. .
However, it is very important to know at what age to adopt a puppy, since if it is done too soon, behavioral and / or health problems could arise in the short or medium term. Let us know, then, how old the furry must be so that it can be separated from its mother and / or siblings.
The puppy, from birth to two months, must remain with its biological family. The mother is in charge of feeding him with her milk for at least a month and a half, but she is also the one who teaches him to behave like a dog; In other words, through the game you will be setting limits that you cannot exceed. These limits, established with soft grunts at times, and standing between his siblings to prevent gambling from becoming a problem at other times, will help the furry to begin to control the force of the bite and behave well.
But of course, your human family must take into account that from two to three months of age the dog goes through a period of socialization, during which it must get used to the presence of other dogs, cats, people and be exposed to noise of cars and those of the home. For this reason, the best age to adopt a puppy is 2 months, which will be when it is weaned and ready to learn a lot of new things. 🙂
