Bringing your new dog home

3:40 pm Dogs

When you first bring your new dog home there are some rules that you need to decide. You will first need to decide on what times you are going to feed your dog. Eventually your dog will get used to getting fed at the times. You need to schedule about when your pup will go outside for bathroom breaks and when and who will take it on a walk. You need to decide these things with everyone or at least make sure that everyone knows. If you dog gets different feeding times each day, they may get confused about when they are supposed to be eating, ( Or some dogs may just accept it and be happy about all the food! )

You need to decide what rooms you puppy will be allowed to go in at first. Over time and when your puppy grows older you could add rooms onto the list that they are allowed to go in. For example, Emma and Sophie are not allowed to go upstairs at all because they are not quite trained to not tear up everything in their path.  If you have a room full of china or other expensive items, you may not want your dog to go in there at first.

You need to decide who will be taking your dog for walks. You may want to alternate who is taking your dog for walks and create a schedule of who is taking the dog and when.  Ideally  your dog should have two walks each day.
