New Puppy Owner Tips!
This is my new Pug puppy at 4 months old!
"Tips to have a happy, healthy puppy!"
*Choosing A Name* What is so
important about a name, well first of all it gets your puppies attention. So if
you are going to train your puppy it will know when you want them to do
something. It will also tell your puppy that when you say their name and in a
nice voice that they did something right. When you choose a name it gives you
control over your puppy because most dogs will come when you call their name. A
name is very important when you get your new puppy, that is the very first thing
you should do.
*Play Time* Your new puppy will also want to play a lot and that
also might mean that they may nip at you to get you to play with them. When they
do this don't play with them because that is telling them that when they nip at
you, you will play with them. If they do this don't play with them. Make sure
that if they are doing something that you do not like let them know this by you
not rewarding them for it. This can be anything from starting to play or even to
some picking them up is a reward, so be careful.
It's play time!
*Dinner Time*
Your new puppy also needs to be fed the right diet. The first thing that you
will need to do is to find one place where you want your puppy to eat. Then when
you are going to feed him/her bring them to that place so that when they get
hungry they know to go there to eat. Puppies usually eat about three times a
day. Plus make sure with the breeder or with a veterinarian how much they should
eat at each mealtime, and make sure that you do feed them three times a day.
*Paper Training* Here are some tips to help you to paper
train/house break your new puppy. First of all your new puppy needs to know
where their spot to go is. It is just like when we are getting toilet trained we
know to go to the bathroom and they know to go on the paper and lets say in the
dinning room. Some tips to help do this, is whenever your puppy starts to sniff
around take him/her to the paper and say go potty or potty. Whenever you do this
keep the words the same because then they will know when you say those words
that they have to go to the bathroom. After they start to run to the paper and
go on it, move the paper closer to where you want them to go and then gradually
they will get closer to where you want them to go out. Then you can show them to
go to the door/outside.
It's time to go potty!
*Training/Tricks* First of
all you will need to start off your new puppy as early as possible. When you get
your new puppy you can start teaching them tricks as early as seven weeks of
age. Remember that they are young and they have short attention spans. Only work
with them for about ten to fifteen minutes at each training session and about
two to three times a day. Believe me they are very quick learners and they will
pick up things very quickly.
*Nap Time* Your new puppy will also take a lot of naps during the
day. Your new puppy will take about four naps a day. They will take a nap after
they eat breakfast or lets say about 8:00am, then at about 12:00pm, 3:00pm, and
then they will take their last nap at about 6:00pm. When they are napping don't
wake them up because the reason for the naps is that it will help them to grow
up strong and healthy. So when they are sleeping just let them go. Plus it will
give you a break from their wild playing.
It's time to take a nap!
*I hope that this information helps you to bring up your new puppy right and that you will have many years of happiness with them. Have fun and remember these things and you will bring up a great puppy/dog!*
