Dicipline:"Who's the Boss "? Even though those little brown eyes can melt your heart . We love them , and want them to be good loving companions. Training the puppy early in life will make you and the puppy happier. Be consistant in training , praise him when the puppy obeys. Once the puppy knows what you want , they try to please you .Stay to the course don't change methods of training , you'll confuse the puppy. Let the puppy know what is expected , and if he is naughty , or has bad behaviors ,say "NO" in a loud voice or slap your hands together , let the puppy know it's bad behavior.
Potty Training: Again be consistent , use the same methods, don't change! Remember puppies can't wait to long, but don't always let you know when they have to go , they too ,learn by their mistakes ."It helps if you can actually catch the puppy in the act of going potty where he or she shouldn't , then pick the puppy up and place him where you desire the puppy to potty. Like outside in the back yard , or on a puppy pad. Again take the puppy to potty often , about every 2-3 hours at first until you both get the hang of where, what, when and how come. Puppies smell where they have gone before so be sure to get rid of the odor , or it will happen again.
Feeding Habits:"It's best to stick to the feed, the puppy is use to, changes can cause diarrhea." I use Vet's Choice, little bites puppy food. Your puppies need good nutrient ,cheaper is not as good , watch the ingredients. Puppies need good feed to grow and devolope strong bones and bodies . "Remember to leave hard small dry feed on the floor ,available for the puppy , at all times . This way the puppy can eat plenty. Keep plenty of water available too. I use Nutri -Drops in the water, it protects them from hypoglycemia. Make sure your puppy eats and drinks. If they don't you can loose the puppy from hypoglycemia. They are under allot of stress when changes occur. Remember the puppy is young, left Mom , brothers, sisters , their loving care taker and flew in a air plane many miles to get to you . Now the puppy is trying to adjust to a new home, behavior changes , weather temperatures , other pets , and a new family. Remember to keep your puppy away from drafts and warm, they can't be chilled , this can cause daeth as well. Puppies need temeratures about 75 degrees. Nutri Cal is another good product, Dye is also a supplement to have on hands in case you need it for your special new "Best Companion".Once the puppy gets use to the new home and surrounding changes ,go back to just the dry feed, what the puppy was use to. If you continue the good stuff to long , they like it and may not want to change. But keep close eye and do what is needed. Call for help me or your Veterinarian if you feel uneasy , be safe not sorry.
Saftey: Little puppies are cutting teeth, they love to chew, keep all small objects out of reach and off the floor. Don't let the puppy have the run of the house without watching them. Elictric cords , toxic cleaners and poisons, could end your puppy's life .Foods can be toxic to puppies grapes, raisins, chocolate, and plants . Look on informative websites for even more information. About communicable diseases, parasites, and treatments. http://vetmedicine,com is one site I use. "Get educated about your new puppy." And above all keep the puppy in good health. See your reliable veterinarian for follow ups , scheduled vaccinations and worming. Take the medical records that I've provided and let your veterinarian see what vaccinations the puppy has had, it's very important and could save the puppy's life.
