What To Do When You Get A New Puppy

By Steve Cote


The choice to offer a home to any baby needs great thought. This includes bringing a puppy into your home. Research on what should be expected when having any new dog is the home is vital. A puppy should be settled on, even more so because regardless of being surprisingly lovable, he is going to be hard work.

When you have decided that you are ready and can handle house training, socialization, teething and sleep-deprived nights it's time to choose which puppy is good for you. It is important to match the type of dog to the home which you are providing. If you'd like a selected breed type then research its wishes. Remember that working breed eg the Border collie may not settle into a sedate lifestyle. High energy dogs are good for high energy houses. The quieter home circumstances amongst us may be better suited to a puppy with lower energy needs.

Puppy training is critical when a dog is maturing. Each and everything the dog learns from the moment he is born determines the older dog that he will become. Too many people with a puppy do not carry out any training. Absence of guidance when growing up can turn any puppy into an uncontrollable teen. Curiously a lot of the dogs deserted or given to save centers are uncontrollable teenagers. In these cases owners often believe they don't have any responsibility for why the dogs behave poorly.

A good puppy training expert will show in detail how to guide your puppy in general behavior using positive strategies. This could include reward and positive re-strengthening. Training will cover basic subjects that include how to train a puppy to come.

Socialization classes with your puppy are a great idea. A grouping of puppies come together to play and learn to interact together under the steerage of a good dog coach. When looking for a dog trainer make sure that they use positive techniques including reward and reinforcement. Avoid any mention of dominance or punishment as these techniques are not useful when coaching a dog.
