Puppy tips

The choice to adopt a puppy is both a choice made out of love and an important decision as it is a bond which lasts several years. When a puppy joins a new home, it's a moment of pure joy, but it's necessary to pay a lot of attention in this initial phase.
Some doubts can creep in, especially if it's your first experience with a puppy. It is crucial to prepare a safe and appropriate environment to let the puppy get accustomed to the new house. But we must also take care of other aspects of its future life like health, nutrition, and education. In addition to all this, a little advice can be useful.

FIRST introduction
Everything will be new for your new puppy: the environment, the smells, the sounds, and the people around it. For this reason it is necessary that the first impression of the house is calm and reassuring. The puppy will be confused and will gradually become familiar with the new environment and therefore it will need a place where it can feel safe and comfortable. It is important that the kennel should never be a place of punishment, but a pleasant retreat for the puppy: you should avoid sending it to the kennel after a scolding. To let it feel less alone when we are out, we could leave a garment in the kennel that has your scent on it.
The first night could be complicated because the little one could have trouble getting familiar with the new house. It’s our duty to reassure and let it feel safe.
Never let a puppy sleep on the bare floor; it is too cold for it. To let it rest easier we can put close to it a clock: complete silence can intimidate it, and the ticking hands could help it feel in company and safe.

how to behave with the puppy
Our new little puppy will need all of your attention and we will have to be patient and teach it, gently and constantly. First rules for good behavior inside the house. Here is some advice to help it get accustomed to the new house correctly.
You will have to be patient and make the puppy understand, gradually, not having to mess in the house and not to bite and chew all that is around it. Incontinence is very common in puppies and to chew everything they find is their way to understand the world around them. Luckily, these habits will disappear with growth.
Establish immediately (within the first 2-3 days of its arrival) where the dog will live, where it will be allowed to have access to and when and where to eat, and where it will stay overnight. These rules are expected to become more commonplace; that is, an obligation for him.

It is important to put the puppy in a position where it will not mess up: you have to try to keep it out of reach of anything that it might break or destroy; try leaving different objects or toys around where he can vent his curiosity.
A puppy has a lot more energy than an adult dog and different physiological needs. For this reason, at this early stage of its life, you will have to intensify walks out and the opportunities for play and socialization with other dogs, both puppies and adults.
At least during the first few months it would be preferable not to leave it unleashed. The puppy, not having been familiarised with all the noise, could be frightened by something and have reactions that we are not always able to control (as, for example, run into the street).

health Precautions
The puppy will have to undergo the vaccination protocol required by law. It would also be preferable if it had a collar with a plate with its name and a telephone number in the unlikely event that it escaped out of our control.

PROPER NUTRITION
It would be convenient to feed the puppy three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) and it is NOT recommended to walk the puppy immediately after eating as this can cause a number of problems in the digestive system. It would be preferable to wait at least a couple of hours.
