La arrival of a puppy Going home is a good reason for happiness for the whole family, but it is nonetheless a great responsibility. We must not only cover his basic needs, but also make him feel safe and loved by us, as well as give him a proper education. We tell you what are the steps to follow to get our little one to adapt to his new life with us.
Previously we must prepare the house for the dog. It is essential to book a corner where you eat and drink daily, easily accessible to him and where fresh water is never lacking. In addition, we have to have the right food for him from the first moment, depending on his age, race and general characteristics.
On the other hand, it is essential that we prepare a place where you can sleep and relax when you need it. It must be located in a less crowded area, and away from excessively strong heat sources and drafts. Also, it should be a soft and comfortable place. It is also key that we have your hygiene accessories and other basic items: leash, necklace, warm clothes ...
It is important that let's avoid dangerous objects for the dog that we can find at home, such as certain poisonous plants (hydrangeas, carnations, azaleas, etc.) or other toxic products.
Before taking the dog home for the first time we must do a visit to the vet, to determine your health status and advise us on your care. Once it has been checked, we will take you home, where we will let you sniff all you want; just inspecting every corner will you feel calm and secure.
It is essential that we do not overwhelm him during the first days, as we could scare the puppy. Must let it take its time to adapt to your new family. And of course, carry out your training through positive reinforcement, without yelling or, of course, physical punishment.
