Pet Tips
Bringing a puppy homeIt’s an exciting day for you, your family and your puppy when you bring him home. This might be the very first time that he has been away from his mother and siblings. It’s better for you to make his transition as easy as possible, because at first he will be overwhelmed by everything that he is exposed to.When a puppy is eight weeks old, he has huge bursts of energy and periods of deep sleep. You have made it safe for your puppy to release the wild energy bursts by pet proofing your house. You have bought a cozy crate in which your puppy can go to bed, and it will keep him snug and safe. Put your puppy in his crate with a warm blanket and a soft toy after potty breaks, eating, play sessions, and general puppy freak-out time. Puppies may cry and whimper during the first night or two, they miss the warmth and comfort of their mommy and siblings. For the first couple of nights, some people provide a hot water bottle or a ticking clock as a surrogate for his mom and siblings’ warm bodies and comforting heartbeats. Also, a soft and fuzzy toy will help him feel cozy. Despite your new pup’s heartbreaking cries, resist allowing him on your bed. Wait until he is comfortable sleeping alone so he doesn’t develop sleep phobias, then you can let him sleep with you in your bed. Puppies should stay in your bedroom for the first couple of weeks, because they are fearful and they need to relieve themselves quite often. You will be woken up every few hours by puppy whines. When you hear it, bring the puppy outside and wait while he goes, and give him enthusiastic praise when he is finished. Then you will be going back to bed just to do it all over again. When you get a new puppy, it’s a little bit like having a baby—sleepless nights and everything! Share this article on Bringing a puppy home with friends.
