Tip 1 - Be Prepared
Make sure that you have the supplies necessary to properly care for your new dog. These basic supplies include: dog food, bowls, leash, collar, toys, bedding and crate.
Supervise your new dog at all times as soon as he enters your home. If you cannot supervise your dog, put him in a crate until you can.
Tip 3 - Behavior
Your dog will have an adjustment period of 3 - 4 weeks. During this time, he will display all kinds of behavior that will be new to you and possibly to him. Understanding why your dog is behaving badly is crucial to identifying the problem, correcting it, and preventing it from happening again.
The following are signs of stress that can lead to behavioral issues if left untreated for several weeks: excessive barking, biting, attachment to one family member; shyness and insecurity towards others, jumping, pawing, pacing from one end of the room to the other, lunging at or intolerance to other animals or strangers, inability to be left alone for short periods of time.
Tip 5 - Training
Training your new dog is essential to ensure that good behavior continues, or that undesirable behavior is stopped. For training and educational products please visit us at www.socaldogtraining.com
Socialization is critical for any dog. Initially, be careful not to over stimulate your new dog. Do not assume anything about your new dog. Make all determinations about its social behavior based on your own observations!
