On welcoming an adorable puppy to a home

I agree! Taking care of a puppy/dog is just like taking care of a baby. It cries in the middle of the night coz it's either scared or hungry and you need to feed it every 2 hours. You need to have a lot of patience when dealing with puppies. A tip in housebreaking a puppy is when he/she is done eating his meal, you need to bring him outside (to where you want him to poo or pee) cause full stomach adds pressure on his bladder or colon making him feel like he wants to poo or pee. Another is when you see your dog turning in circles, that's the hint that he wants to defecate or urinate. Be fast enough to bring him outside to where you want him to do it. Your dog might not remember it the first time so be patient enough to understand that he's not like us. Teach him that it's not right to poo/pee inside the house by saying a firm no! by the time he tries to do it. Also be sure to have time to play with your dog, that's the most important thing you can offer to him aside from feeding him with food. I'm sure dogs like that are very energetic so they need to use all of it in order for them to settle down at night. Dogs that aren't allowed to play that much becomes frustrated and can be a pain in the a$$ during night-time. They won't stop barking and you won't be able to fall asleep :P. I hope it helps :)

the new puppy might have not yet adjusted to your surroundings at home, so better make the puppy known to all the corners of your house so that at least it would not feel lost. that was one thing that we did when we had our puppy. the next is to make itself known where it would urinate or leave its waste so that you wouldnt find a hard time picking up its waste everywhere. so i think these would be some of the tips regarding welcoming a new puppy at home. welcome to mylot!

I personally don't have a dog nor am I a pet lover. But I don't hate them as well. It's just that I have bad experience with dogs that lets me don't want to pet them anymore. Reading your post alone makes me want to cuddly the puppy as well . I don't know the kind of breed dogs are so I had a little research before responding to your post. I learned that these kinds of dogs intelligent and very much playful. So, if you want to train them, you have to be very consistent and firm. Also, dogs are animals so you should never forget that, you have to meet their needs as animals. Hope this is helpful
