Bringing Home Your New Puppy

When you bring a new puppy home, you should take it on a complete tour on a loose leash around you home. Since this is the first introduction for the puppy of its future limitations, you will want to determine what exactly you want the puppy to have access too, such as your furniture and possessions, any toys or books as well as other such items.

The puppy does not know its name at this time, so hold back on the word no, since it may begin to think this is its name. Rather you should make a throaty Yack sound as you tug and release slightly on the leash while he sniffs around to warn the puppy about anything you do not wish it to interact.

Remember the puppy is new to all this, simply saying Puppy! In a warm welcoming tone will call its attention to you. Good dog and happy chatter as you move along the first tour.

A puppy understands a growl, so all you are doing is helping the puppy to avoid certain future problems. A puppy will remember things by scent more so than by sight, so let it sniff first. When he looks up to you and you praise it. Keep in mind that No; means do not do that whereas Yack, means Do not even think about it!

Chitchat is naturally pleasing for you and your puppy. To begin with, a puppy will understand its name since everyone is using it in connection of the things the puppy enjoys such as food, praise and playing. A puppy will understand eat or din-din when you use the word several times while preparing its food and it is about to eat. The teaching language of human-canine is short and simple words, which are in use constantly for particular actions.

On this first guided tour for your puppy of its new home is for getting the puppy use to the layout of the home while getting familiar with what things smell and feel like such as carpets and rugs, wood or tile, while learning that some areas and items are off limits to the puppy.

Another essential lesson the puppy learns is that you are the new Leader, the one he must obey. The puppy will take the role of the leader if you do not do so. Someone has to be the leader and the puppy will take the place of the leader in the household, if no one else does so. You know the old saying, Lead, follow or get out of my way. All dogs have a natural inborn instinct to be a leader, and have no problem filling the opportunity..

Once you finish the house tour, you begin to work on other essentials, such as showing the puppy where the water bowl will always be and giving it time to inspect his crate. Then you should take the puppy on a leash walk to the area that you have chosen for eliminating itself.

Simply stand in this area until the puppy does go to the bathroom. Be patient as the puppy is new to all of this, when it does go, praise the puppy quietly. When the puppy is finished, you should then continue on an outside tour of its new home. While taking this tour, do as you did inside, concerning any gardening beds to let the puppy no what is off limits outside.

If you live in a city as a responsible dog owner, you must curb the puppy. Simply go to a quite no-parking spot. The puppy will naturally want to be where you are, so stand down in the street with him. Eventually the puppy will get use to the noise, confusion as well as the size and speed of vehicles.

This will take time, patience and a casual confident attitude from you. No outside walking tour for now, since it is best to wait until the puppy has all its immunizations first, by that time is should be use to city life.

Tip: If it took more than an hour to transport the puppy to your home, you should give the puppy the outside tour first for elimination purposes.
