Part 1: Puppy and You

Before bringing a puppy home, you will need to be prepared:

* Provide time and space for your puppy to play.

* Getting safe toys to keep your puppy stimulated.

* Provide a cage, hiding places and/or cosy bed in a quiet, draft-free place where your puppy can rest undisturbed.

* Remove anything poisonous or that you don’t want them chewing.

At the age of 8-12weeks, is an important time for puppy. What the puppy learns and experiences will shape its future behaviour. Your puppy may not be fully vaccinated yet, but it is important to continue socialisation by exposing your puppy positively.

- Meeting other healthy, fully vaccinated dogs and cats.

- Carrying them around outside to introduce them to new people, sights and sounds.

- Gradually introducing them to the car, grooming, being handled and having their ears, eyes and other body parts checked.

You should also:

- Begin to leave them alone for short periods to prevent separation related behaviour.

- Establish a consistent routine and rules. Reward good behaviour and ignore bad behaviour.

- Feed them the same puppy food as they had before and keep the same routine with small, regular meals.

- Continuing puppy toilet training by rewarding them when they go outside.
