In the first days after the purchase, your puppy will miss his mother and feel uncomfortable in a new place. Show patience and attention, try to let the puppy feel that you love him and do not leave him alone.
The puppy will whine in the first nights, and at this time it is very important to show willpower and not take the puppy to bed, as he will quickly get used to it. If you are not opposed to the fact that the dog, when it grows up, is constantly sleeping with you, you can not follow this advice, but remember that the puppy can damage its paws by jumping from the bed.
In the first days after the appearance of the dog in the house, try to limit the number of people who will be next to the puppy, do not show it to the guests until it gets used to the new housing. Try not to raise your voice, not make noise, so as not to scare the pet.
Before bringing the puppy, explain to the children that it should not be treated like a toy, do not allow the child to pick him up in his arms and tug on his tail or ears.
In order to make the puppy easier to tolerate separation from the mother, you can put an old fur hat or toy in its place, while making sure that the puppy does not bite them, since particles of fur can cause intestinal obstruction. When buying a puppy, you can ask the breeder for a small piece of the bedding on which he slept with his mother and other puppies, or rub the puppy's mother with a cloth, which should then be put in the puppy's new place. A familiar smell will help your pet get comfortable in the new environment.
If the puppy whines during the day, take him in his arms, strok him, gently talk to him.
Bringing the puppy home, lay him in the space provided for him. It is recommended to place a basket or to lay a rug away from batteries and drafts, in a calm and quiet place, preferably in your room.
It may happen that the puppy does not want to stay in a specific place for him and stubbornly fits in another. In this case, move the mat or basket to where the puppy likes it.
Bringing the puppy home, he should immediately show his place.
When you need to feed the puppy, wash, walk or change the litter, gently call him, entice him with a treat or your favorite toy. Never force a puppy out of its place.
You can teach a puppy to the “Place!” Team from the first days. Gently stroke the puppy, name him by name, put him on the litter and repeat several times: "Place, place, good, place." If the puppy falls asleep in the wrong place, take it to its place, repeat the command with a calm, affectionate voice. Soon the baby will get used to it.
In the first days, show the pet where the bowls of water and food are, and feed him always in one place so that he gets used to it faster.
If there are other dogs or cats in the house, at first do not leave the puppy alone with them, as they may be aggressive towards the new inhabitant of the house.
It is important that the puppy does not get scared when picked up. On the contrary, this should give him great pleasure. But it is impossible for a puppy to be picked up too often by different people, especially children. The puppy is very mobile and quite strong, so you need to keep it carefully, but firmly so that the puppy does not jump from a height and is not injured.
Take the puppy in your arms should be very careful. Categorically it is impossible to raise a puppy upward, holding it by its front paws - this weakens the ligaments.
You can not raise a puppy, clasping his whole palm under his elbows. If you often take the puppy this way, then he will form inverted elbows. The puppy should be raised, clutching both shoulders with one hand in front and supporting the back with the other hand.
Try to be as affectionate as possible with the puppy in the early days, this will help him not only get used to you as soon as possible, but will also become a guarantee of friendly relations with the dog.
Take care of the puppy's safety.
Pay particular attention to the following circumstances: Do not drop small objects on the floor. Needles, beads, pins, buttons, splinters, rubber bands, toys, pieces of foam rubber, cotton wool, spools of thread - all these are very dangerous objects, since the puppy can swallow them and he will have to undergo surgery.
In an inaccessible place should be stored medicines, washing powders and any other chemicals. Floor pots with flowers should also be tidied up. If a terrier has settled in the house, he will gladly dig up the earth, scatter it, and the puppy will also taste it.
The latter is fraught with intestinal inflammation. Christmas tree needles, toys, tinsel, wiring also pose a great danger to the baby. The puppy should not go to the unfenced balcony, stairs.
