A new life for your dog –

Why do we love dogs so much?

With their big round eyes, the nose as large buttons and extremities, dogs have many of the same physical characteristics as human children. And as children, or as kittens, suggestions or many cartoon characters, dogs cause an automatic «preult response» in us. Capturing our attention, we like to look at them and, at the neuronal level, it triggers the activities associated with the reward and also arouse compassion and empathy.

In humans and other animals, this answer is an advanced and innate behavior: motivates adults to take care of impotent children and to be more sensitive to their needs and feelings. It makes sense, therefore, that a recent study has discovered that the chicks reach the tip of the cute at the age of eight weeks, exactly the moment when their mothers canine have let them do themselves.

What do you need to know if you have just brought such fur (or are you going to do it)?

Your new puppy is eventually at home: he is ready to explore his new home. But are you ready for the first week of the puppy, with you? Do you have bowls with food, chewed toys and a comfortable bed? We have some suggestions to make the transition of your puppy in his new home in the safest and most stressed way possible.

Snake for sure … but also supervised!

One of the first things that your new puppy will probably be sniffing everything. Dogs are born and their eyes are closed in the first 2-3 weeks, but that nose works hard from the first day and … does not stop. Your curious puppy will want to explore every corner of your home – and this adventure can include places where there should be no objects that should not touch.

It is better to protect your home before receiving the new partner at home. So you know that the house is (relatively) safe. There will always be things that you have not thought that the dogs can enter, but it seems that the Nazdravan somehow find a way. So, in the first days, watches over their exploration time, so that you can pay attention to the dangers you would have lost.

Some items that should be kept away from a puppies access electric cables, sharp objects and anything else that dogs should not chew (for example, dirty garbage, soft cushions, remote control of its TV). Make sure to put any material or toxic object for dogs, such as medicines, chemicals for cleaning, poisonous plants, food exclusively for man (e.g. grapes, onions, chocolate) and anything else that can damage a impatient puppy.

The night can be a frightening moment – that’s why

Have you ever stayed in a new place (eg hotel, cottage, a friend’s house) and you woke me up at midnight and have you forgotten where are you? Frightening, right? Think about how difficult a new house is for a puppy (especially at night) with all those new strange and surroundings.

Also, depending on the place where you took the new puppy, he was probably with my mother, my brothers or had other dogs around, whom he knew, and now he is alone or with unknown dogs. When dogs are separated from the packet for the first time, their natural instinct must be as vowel as possible. So it is likely that your new chicken is crying (screams, shouts or whispers) for a few days or even a few weeks when it is alone.

You can make the night a little more comforting for your dog by choosing a quiet area of ​​the house, where you can put them for his bed. Make a comfortable bed in a chest so that they have a safe space to prepare them and keep them badly while sleeping or buying a suitable crib. You could also consider the idea of ​​putting the crib in your bedroom, but if you want your puppy to sleep in your bed, wait to be trained in the pot.

Spend time with your new playmate

At night it is not the only part of the day that can be frightening for a puppy – being left alone during the day can be so worrying and overwhelming and for your puppy. If possible, it plans a few days of vacation for the first days when your child adapts to his new home. It will help to establish the ties and your puppy will have a friend who will be with them while exploring their new playing fields. If you can’t be at home with him all day, see if a family member or a friend can be with your dog or take into consideration the intake of a custodian of animals while your puppy settles or opts for a special kindergarten in your city.

Time alone?

The puppy will remain only: you can’t prevent it. Even if you work from home, there will be moments when you have to go out and you cannot bring your little friend with you. It is important for your new partner to learn to do it alone and that this is not something to worry about.

Specialists can give us some useful tips on how to help your puppy feel good when he is alone. First, put your dog in a closed space with a beloved toy and use the house for five minutes. You will probably hear bark or whispers, which is normal. Return quickly when it is silent. It is important to wait for a break in barking, otherwise they will learn that making noise is what makes you come back. Once they get used to five minutes, try to prolong the time little by little.

Finally, your baby should learn that being alone is not so bad and that you will return. Separation anxiety can occur in dogs of all ages, so it is a good idea to start teaching them that time alone is not bad in your dog’s first week at home. More information about this phenomenon that you can discover on the blog, in the Petmax article – Anxiety of separation of dogs.

It is the way of doing their needs, again …

Support yourself with cleaning materials because you will need it. Many! Ceramic training is another thing that should start the day you bring your puppy home. But it will take some time and will involve a lot of accidents of the bathroom Before the little animal understands – it will probably be until about 12-16 weeks.

You can help reduce the number of accidents by taking the puppy on potatoes every two or four hours, even if in the middle of the night, if necessary. The training laying can also help to train the pot, because the dogs are naturally disgusted to dirty their «ray», so they will go to the pot elsewhere. Removing them from their box and then immediately outside or in the designated place (inside), they will discover that they have to go there when they have to make their needs. Finally, they will realize that all your home is den they and not a place to go to the pot.

Respect a program

Respect for a routine is really important to help your puppy adapt to his new home and his family. Respect the same program (as much as possible) for hours of meal, now to go to bed, game sessions and breaks. And if you have the rules that the dog must follow, make sure the whole family applies the rules. If the chicken is not allowed on the sofa, you shouldn’t pull it on the sofa, for a quick hug. He will confuse him when he would have had problems because he jumped on the sofa the next day.

Nourish the puppy

For the hours of meals, veterinary nutritionists recommend feeding dogs with at least two meals and possibly three or four meals per day, until the puppy is 4 to 6 months. Once you are 6 months old, you can be with two meals a day, even if some large and gigantic breeds can benefit from three meals a day.

Feeding with the right food is important to make sure the dog grows and turns into a healthy dog, to the right pace. The vet can help you determine which is the best food for your puppy and how much you should eat. You can now discover our advice – Create your dog with acana food.
