Pet Tips
New adult dogsWhen you bring an adult dog into the house, there is a different set of issues. There are some adult dogs who haven’t had any house manners or may not have ever been inside of a house. There are some retired racing greyhounds who need to be taught how to climb the stairs because their whole life they were limited to just their kennels and the racetrack. Other dogs may be well-mannered and housetrained. Until you bring your dog home, you won’t know how he will do. The first couple of weeks of an adult dog in a new home is called the honeymoon period by dog behaviorists. It usually takes some time before the dog can expose his real personality to you, so you can see if he has aggression, food possessiveness, and other negative or positive characteristics.Even though an adult dog is not going to spend as much time in a crate as a puppy would, it is important for him to have a place to retreat to. Show your dog that he has his own spot which is out of the way, and he can retreat there any time things get a bit too much. Your dog may still be in a chewing stage if he is still young, and anxiety can lead to destruction so baby gates can come in handy to keep him out of certain areas. And for a recently adopted dog, too much freedom can overwhelm him. Whenever you are outside of your securely fenced yard, it’s important to keep a new adult dog on a leash. A new dog can be prone to running away, so don’t set yourself up for a broken heart. Share this article on New adult dogs with friends.
