Next day is the first day that you can begin to establish a routine so that the puppy feels secure in the new surroundings and establishes itself as part of the family unit.
Induction should be a fun time, it can also be a little daunting for both owner and puppy. So proceed carefully, be patient there is no need to rush. at this first part of your puppy’s education, his or her’s introduction to the real world. After a couple of weeks why not seek guidance to be sure that all is progressing as it should be.
Induction, introducing your new puppy to it’s new home.
When you arrive home, allow adequate time for the dog to become accustomed to their new surroundings. Show them the house, the garden and also their own bed. Do not begin to try to exhaust your new charge. Almost certainly friends, neighbours, the world and it’s wife will wish to visit. Try to resist the temptation for a few days. Let the puppy explore, remembering to frequently take it out and encourage it to relieve itself. At night remember that this is the first time away from mum and it’s litter mates, sleep may not be the first thing on it’s mind. Be patient in returning the puppy to it’s sleeping quarters, be insistent and do not succumb to the pitiful cries and take it to your bed. Puppies at this age have no control over bodily functions. It is your responsibility to take the puppy out first thing in the morning, after meals, following sleep and sometimes during play. You must watch for the puppy becoming restless and possibly spinning around in circles. Keep some sheets of newspaper near a door. If the puppy is to sleep in a cage then bedding at the back, newspapers at the front. Should the puppy sleep in a bed then place newspaper near a door and encourage it’s use by the puppy. If you are vigilant you should minimise the accidents. In just a short time your puppy will gain some muscle control and begin to ask to be let out.
