Never leave your puppy unsupervised. Utilize critical stages of puppy development. Establish yourself as pack leader. Make sure your puppy is housed in a draught free environment. If you are going to keep your puppy in the house, don't let it have free rein, confine it or buy a dog crate, when you are not there to supervise it. Socialse your puppy, introduce it to new sights, sounds & only friendly non-aggressive/dominant dogs. A bad experience with a dog, person or situation may cause behaviour problems. If you attend a class and there is a dominant or aggressive dog there and you or your dog feel uncomfortable, just leave the class. Young children should not pick up puppies as they may hurt them or cause a permanent injury. Puppy proof your home, TV remotes, cables etc are good to chew. Keep household cleaners, poisons etc out of reach. Puppies love to play but they do need plenty of rest and sleep. Young children and other pets can over tax a puppy, so supervised play is a must. |
