Introduction

It’s a new puppy or dog in the house. You are excited, but you have no idea what to do with it. You’ve heard that puppies and dogs need love, training and discipline. But where do you begin? The following tips will help make your transition into puppy or dog owner much easier:

Keep life simple for your new dog or puppy.

The first thing to remember when you bring home a new dog or puppy is to keep things simple. Don’t overwhelm your new friend with too many new experiences and places at once. Give them time to adjust to their new home, and don’t expect them to understand everything right away. No matter how cute or clever they are, it will take some time for your pooch’s brain to process all of the new sights, sounds, and smells around him/her.

In the meantime, here are some things you can do that will make life easier for everyone:

• Keep walks short (less than half an hour) until he/she has had more time in your home; long walks may cause stress on his/her joints due to lack of exercise prior to coming into your care.
• Introduce him/her slowly but surely by taking small trips outside at first—just five minutes at first—and gradually building up from there until he/she is comfortable walking around outside without any sort of harness attachment on his neck leash (this applies more so if they’re getting used solely indoors).

How to start crate training your puppy?

Crate training is one of the best ways to train your dog and teach it to obey commands. It also helps solve separation anxiety, which many new puppies have.

You’ll know if a crate is large enough for your pet when he or she can stand up without hitting their head on the ceiling and turn around without touching any walls. If you’re not sure what size crate would be best for your pup, try measuring him or her from shoulder to paws (or toes) and add about 2 inches onto that measurement as an estimate of how much space he/she will need in order for them to comfortably lie down, stand up and move around inside of it.

The first step towards crate training is introducing your puppy or dog to his new kennel by letting him explore it himself and helping him get comfortable with being inside there—and eventually sleeping there overnight! You’ll want his first experience with sleeping in his container be enjoyable rather than frightening so make sure he has lots of enticing toys inside so that he’s distracted from any discomfort he might feel at first while adjusting

How to Choose the Right Amount of Dog Food for Your Puppy?

It’s important that you don’t underfeed your puppy and make sure he gets enough food, but it’s also important not to overfeed him. How much food should a puppy eat? Puppies need to eat more than adult dogs because of their fast growth rate.

Some things to keep in mind when determining how much food to give your puppy:

• Pups grow quickly, so it’s important that they get enough nutrients and calories.
• Puppies have a high metabolism, which means they burn energy more quickly than adult dogs do.
• Puppies also tend to be active and playful, which burns even more calories.

The American Kennel Club recommends that you give your new dog 1/2 cup of dry dog food per day for every month old he is (so if he is one month old then he gets 1/2 cup per day). The recommended amount of water depends on the brand of food you feed him as well as his activity level; check with his breeder or veterinarian for specific recommendations about how much water each day will be best for him.

Give Your New Dog Training Commands?

Training a new dog is one of the most important things you can do. It’s also a great way to bond with your new pet, and give it some structure. Many people wait until their dog is older before they start training, but this means that for the first few months you spend together, your new pup won’t be learning anything from you—except how to get into trouble!

Here are some basic commands that will help ensure your puppy grows up to be well-behaved:

• Sit – This command can be used when meeting other dogs or humans so they don’t jump all over them. It also helps calm them down when they get excited or overexcited.
• Stay – This command allows you time to interact with other dogs or people without having to worry about your dog running around everywhere or getting into trouble because he wasn’t paying attention while you were busy with another animal/human being (e.g., a friend).
• Come – This command is useful if someone approaches while walking outside (e.g., another person), especially if there are distractions like children playing nearby; it’ll let them know where exactly their pet may run off too if someone approaches unexpectedly! A good practice would be using this command followed by taking their favorite treat back home after each walk session—this way both “good boy/girl” praises come along too!

Visit the Vet Within The First Few Days?

If you have adopted a dog, it is very important that you visit the vet within the first few days.

Here are some things to do:

• Get your dog vaccinated. This will not only protect your dog from getting sick but also protect other dogs and people from getting sick as well. The vet may recommend other vaccinations based on where you live and what kind of pet you have.
• Get microchipped implanted in your dog’s neck for identification purposes if he or she ever gets lost. If someone finds him/her, they can scan their microchip number and contact whoever owns that particular pet through the company who issued the chip to them so that they can get their beloved pet back home safely!
• Get checked out by a vet for general health issues such as parasites like fleas or ticks; diseases like kennel cough which can be dangerous if untreated (it causes coughing); injuries caused during fights with other animals at shelters before being released into new homes – these kinds of injuries could lead infections like parvo virus which could kill puppies if left untreated so make sure all wounds caused by fighting have been cleaned thoroughly before leaving shelter premises!

Have Family Rules set in Place Before Bringing a New Dog into the Home?

Before bringing a new dog into your home, it is important to have family rules set in place. This includes discussing with everyone in the family what they expect from the pet and also making sure there is consistency in how these expectations are met. You should also discuss these expectations with your vet and trainer so that they can help you achieve them.

Be Patient and Make Time For Your New Dog?

The process of adopting a new dog or puppy is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. So much to do and remember!

You’ve decided that you want to adopt a dog or puppy, and now you’re wondering how to care for him or her. You should make sure you have time in your schedule for walking, feeding and naps. Be patient with your new pet—he may need some time to adjust. The more time you spend with your furry friend on walks and at home, the happier both of you will be!

Maintain a Routine Schedule For Feeding, Nap Times, and Walks?

Maintaining a routine schedule is important for all dogs, but it’s especially important for puppies. Routine helps your pup develop into a well-behaved adult dog. Puppies need consistency to feel comfortable and secure, so make sure you stick to the same schedule every day. A typical schedule could look something like this:

• Feeding: Once per day at 7AM
• Nap Time: 4PM
• Walks: 6PM

These are tips that will help you care for your new dog or puppy.

It’s important to keep life simple for your new dog or puppy. Give them a comfortable place to sleep, plenty of toys and treats, and get their vaccinations up to date before bringing them home so they can start adapting right away.

Don’t forget training commands! Your dog will need some basic obedience training in order to be well-behaved in public places like parks and stores. It’s also important that everyone in the family knows what these commands are so everyone feels confident when giving them.

Another key thing is visiting the vet within the first few days after bringing home your new pup! This way he’ll know exactly where his doctor is located if he ever needs anything—and there won’t be any surprises later on down the line when something goes wrong unexpectedly (which happens frequently). You should also have family rules set in place before bringing a new dog into the home because it’ll make things easier once everyone gets used to living together as one big happy family again 🙂

Conclusion

These are just a few tips that can help you care for your new dog or puppy. Remember to be patient with your pet and always remember they need love, attention and play time. Take long walks every day to get them used to their new home and family members. Be sure to visit the vet within the first few days after bringing home a new pet so they can make sure everything is okay with them too!
