To get you feeling confident and ready to embark on this We share your excitement of picking your puppy up for the first time. To make your first meeting run smoothly and free of any stress, here is some good advice and new puppy tips to calm your nerves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Picking your puppy up on the weekend will let you have plenty of time with them at home to let them settle in. This will also give you enough time to get to know each other, and start working on your routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make their journey home more comforting, give the breeder a blanket to impregnate the smell of their mother and siblings. Otherwise, ask the breeder if you can have a piece of the bedding they have used with your puppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a puppy tip to prevent any nasty piles from turning up in your home! Ask the breeder for some water from their tap \u2013 this will help prevent an upset stomach (polite way of saying a poopy mess) when your puppy drinks water from your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Decide where your puppy is going to go for the journey home. This can be quite stressful for them, so we recommend having a warm blanket and a lap for them to sit on. If you don\u2019t have anyone to hold them securely (and lovingly, of course) in the car, have a crate or carrier secured onto the passenger seat so you can be close to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In tune with the rules yet? It\u2019s a legal requirement that all dogs in the UK should wear a collar and ID tag for their safety \u2013 not only for purposes of fashion. Have a soft collar and ID tag ready to put on your puppy before you head home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you live far away from the breeder\u2019s, make sure to stop every 30 minutes for a toilet break (for your puppy, not yourself). See if they\u2019ll go on the puppy training pad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a new puppy tip we really want to hammer home; this is crucial for a smooth first day at home for you and your puppy. Have everything ready and set up in-home for when your puppy arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s a long journey back home, you definitely want to pack paper towels and line their crate with puppy pads. Have an enzyme cleaner ready with you in case they have an accident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>Lots of puppies are often sick on their way home. To avoid cleaning up sick from in between the cracks of your car (getting anything out of them always seems impossible) ask your breeder not to feed your puppy the morning you pick them up. But don\u2019t worry if it happens! They\u2019re just babies after all, really.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Make sure you don\u2019t miss any important puppy care items with this puppy tip<\/ins>,<\/ins> by keeping everything organised on a list. Here\u2019s a quick checklist of things we suggest you buy before you pick up your puppy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking after a puppy at night comes with a few challenges as well. Here is how to make sure everything goes smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a happy puppy, and a smooth introduction to their new home, this new puppy tip<\/ins> will ensure just that. <\/ins>Having you close to them will help them feel safe since you\u2019re right there if they need you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We mean this half literally. This puppy tip<\/ins> will set you up for the beginning of your <\/ins>toilet training<\/a><\/ins> antics! <\/ins> If you\u2019re sure they don\u2019t need the toilet, lean over and talk to them gently to help them feel comforted and at peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The later you go to bed, the less chance they\u2019ll need the toilet during the night. Try to make bedtime midnight if you can, after one last poo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wakey-wakey! Set your alarm for an earlier time in the morning and make taking your puppy to the toilet be the first thing on your to-do list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This new puppy tip<\/ins> goes hand in hand with crate training. <\/ins>Place their crate<\/a><\/ins> away from all the buzz and noise so that they can sleep undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stick to a nap schedule (not you, the puppy!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the puppy is getting bitey or irritable, these are good signs that they probably need to go to sleep. Just like a toddler at the shops. Check out our puppy night-time routine<\/a> article for even more handy new puppy tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, this is also your new title. Help your puppy know where they should go to the toilet by having a specific toilet area, with this new puppy tip<\/ins>. Preferably, you want to have them have a space to go somewhere outside or a puppy pad area away from their crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the puppy toilet training train going, create (and follow) a good schedule that includes bedtime and wake ups, feeding, play, sleep and nap times, and of course, toilet breaks. At the start, toilet breaks will need to be as frequent as every 15 minutes! Discover more puppy toilet training tips<\/a> with our in-depth guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before your puppy makes it home, we strongly recommend puppy-proofing<\/a><\/ins> your house. They might look cute, but those teeth could chew through anything. Anything. Here are a few useful new puppy tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This includes electrical cables, toilet rolls (a firm favorite), shoes, cushions, remotes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n This may sound like a harsh puppy tip<\/ins>, but trust us, it isn\u2019t! <\/ins>If there\u2019s a particular room you don\u2019t want your puppy in, use baby gates to keep them out. They\u2019re surprisingly difficult to open; they could easily be human adult-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Include their crate, toys and a water bowl so you know they\u2019re taken care of when you can\u2019t keep a good eye on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, our daily activities aren\u2019t entirely puppy friendly. The world isn\u2019t that <\/em>advanced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the truth is that dogs are as social as can be, and need human interaction. Because of this, they really shouldn\u2019t be left on their own all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n But we recognise that you must have many other responsibilities besides looking after your puppy. Going to work or going to Sainsbury\u2019s for a food shop is probably among the most common ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have to leave your puppy at home for longer period of time, here are a few new puppy tips we recommend following before you go on your way: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you leave them, go through a couple of short sessions of alone time training so that being left on their own doesn\u2019t take them completely by surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you leave, make sure your puppy has been exercised, fed and taken to the toilet. This puppy tip<\/ins> <\/ins> Have your puppy\u2019s crate with the door left open connected to a playpen<\/a><\/ins> or in a confinement area. This will ensure they have some room to move around, and not feel like they\u2019ve been trapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This new puppy tip<\/ins> not only keeps them occupied, but also stimulated. <\/ins>A Kong or stuffed chew toy is brilliant to give them something to do in your absence. They do a great job at keeping them busy and hold them off missing you for a little while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ah, what a wonder technology is. Set up a pet camera so that you can keep an eye on your puppy throughout the time you leave them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re leaving your puppy for several hours, it\u2019s a good idea to look into a trusted pet carer or dog walker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t make your departures or arrivals too exciting \u2013 keep them laid-back to avoid overstimulating your puppy. Chances are they\u2019ll probably already be buzzing to see you walk inside. Seeing you go outside though, not so much. But your sweet, gentle voice will do just fine to let them know you\u2019ll be back before they know it. We know all you want to do when you see your puppy is to give them <\/ins>copious<\/ins> amou<\/ins>nts of love, but trust us, this new puppy tip<\/ins> will keep them and you stress-free.<\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know some foods are poisonous to dogs? Yep, not good. Some of the most commonly found human foods that are toxic include chocolate, onions, grapes, raisins, alcohol and xylitol. See this list by the ASPCA for a more exhaustive list of foods your puppy shouldn\u2019t eat<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If they smell fishy, it\u2019s probably a good thing. The most important thing when choosing treats is that they smell really good. Dogs have fewer taste buds than humans but have a much stronger sense of smell, so you will definitely have to charm them through their noses. If you see your puppy going bonkers, congratulations, you have excellent taste in dog treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>Treats shouldn\u2019t form more than 10% of your puppy\u2019s daily calorie intake, so cut them up very small. You can also try to use some of their regular food for their training. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Yes, there is thing such as a puppy treat hierarchy: <\/p>\n\n\n\n These are the puppy treats you want to use when overcoming difficult situations \u2013 like the dreaded visits to the vet. This is a puppy tip that will keep them super happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n High value treats are mainly meat based and quite appetizing. These can include human foods such as small pieces of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commercial treats tend to fall into this category. You can use them for rewarding puppies after tasks or situations of \u201cmiddle\u201d difficulty. Think of it as an in-between treat \u2013 for when your puppy does something more than sitting, but less than overcoming their fears of vaccines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Quite a lot of grey areas there, but you\u2019ll probably come up with several instances you can use them for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of our personal favorite puppy treats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low value treats are simply your puppy\u2019s kibble \u2013 code for every day dog food. They\u2019re the ones you should opt for when treating your puppy for doing every day, easy jobs like settling on his mat, or when they\u2019ve finally mastered a harder task like going to the loo in the right place. This is a great puppy tip that you can carry on using throughout your pups adult life too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re simply a good way to keep up reward-based training while providing good nutrition and staying off the extra pounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>Have a bag of your puppy\u2019s regular kibble to use as low value treats, but have another bag with slightly different and tastier kibble that you can use as a treat, The goal is to make your puppy perceive them as being better and be more likely to work for them. This is a good way to keep your puppy from getting chubs – you\u2019re still giving your puppy a COMPLETE diet, and you\u2019ll have more treats to give during training.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP<\/strong>: Whenever you\u2019re training, make sure to not go overboard with feeding them treats so that they don\u2019t gain weight excessively. We all know the uphill battle losing weight can be. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Puppies and treats go hand in hand. Or paw in paw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For in-between meal times, you\u2019re welcome to treat your puppy to larger snacks. Snack-type treats are great to keep them entertained and relaxed without needing your full attention. They\u2019ll also probably help you score some extra bonus points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some good examples of snacks they\u2019ll like to dig in to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you could probably tell from the various attempts to bite your hands off, puppies need to chew a lot! This new puppy tip won\u2019t only stop them from nipping at your fingers, but will give their teeth a good clean. Although they look like they could bite through steel, there are certain things that are too hard for their baby teeth. Yes, steel is definitely one of them. So are antler, cooked bones, wood and metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a curated list of our favorite chew toys for puppies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yak Chews<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Made from Himalayan yak milk <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vegetable chews<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 You\u2019ll see these in all kinds of shapes: toothbrushes, hedgehogs, crocodiles, your boss (ha, you wish) and puppies go crazy for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rice Bones <\/strong><\/a>\u2013 They\u2019re quite hard, but nice to chew for a couple of hours. They\u2019re also low fat, gotta love that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Buffalo Horn \u2013 <\/strong><\/a>Yes, these exist. Made from keratin, the buffalo horn is ace for a good long-lasting chew. Many of them can be stuffed with cheese, for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For puppies, chewing on frozen chew toys feels amazing on their sore gums \u2013 brain freeze isn\u2019t really a think for them. We recommend using Kongs, but you should introduce them little by little in terms of difficulty so that they don\u2019t get to frustrated about figuring it out and give up straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ah, the dreaded puppy toilet training regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to worry, you\u2019ll both get the hang of it with practice and a little bit of patience. Here are some potty-training puppy tips to get you on the same page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>We won\u2019t lie – accidents will happen in those first few weeks! During this period, an enzyme cleaner will be your best friend. Be prepared to take on cleaning duties a lot more than you\u2019re used to. You won\u2019t be doing it for too long, chin up!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n A great way to tackle puppy toilet training is to create a schedule around toilet breaks, which will be made that bit easier with this new puppy tip. Make sure to give the loo a visit after: <\/p>\n\n\n\n With all due respect, we don\u2019t want your puppy to mistake your beautiful rugs and mats for a puppy pad. Puppies are quite fond of soft surfaces for going to the toilet, so we advise you to keep them out of danger for now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Although your puppy can\u2019t express his needs through words, there are certain things they can do to signal them to you. Here are the most common ones: <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>Have a pot of treats ready near the toilet area so that you don\u2019t forget to reward your puppy every time they go to the toilet in the right place. Every. Single. Time. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned before, accidents happen! Your safest bet is to ignore your annoyance (we feel you) and clean it up. Please listen to this puppy tip when we say punishment isn\u2019t effective, because it will encourage your puppy to go on \u2018secret pee excursions\u2019 around the house instead, and will set your toilet training back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s put it this way; the less space your puppy has to roam around, the less chances of them having accidents around the house. Using a confinement area such as a crate, puppy pen or baby gated area will really help to speed up toilet training and keep your sanity for longer. We\u2019ve all gone through it before, we understand how toilet training can feel tedious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crate training your puppy<\/a> will do miraculous things for toilet training, travelling and visiting all sorts of places, including the vet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are our golden new puppy tips for successful crate training:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within day one of bringing your puppy home, try to have them sleep inside the crate from the first time. Make it nice and comfortable with a warm blanket and a couple of soft toys to keep him company during the night. No need to shut the door for now, but do try to get them to sleep there on that first day. It\u2019s a great way to start on the right foot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you don\u2019t close or lock the crate door until you\u2019re sure you have gone through our complete crate training guide. Once that\u2019s covered, you\u2019ll feel happy with having the door closed. Any sooner can be a bit distressing for them, and who wants to see a sad puppy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This new puppy tip is pretty self-explanatory, but worth remembering. Your mission during this training is to make your puppy feel at ease with the crate, as if it were his sanctuary. You\u2019re not going to punish them anyway (riiight?), but just so you have an idea, associating the crate with punishment would make them want to stay away from it\u2026which you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having said how social they are, being in the crate for too long can end up making them become scared, anxious or frustrated. On top of that, if they pee in the crate, you\u2019ll undo all of the fabulous progress you\u2019ve done on toilet training!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Somewhere your family likes to spend time in is great, unless it\u2019s a main thoroughfare like a hallway where it might be too busy. The living room usually makes a good location for dog crates; they won\u2019t mind joining you for some telly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our new puppy tip to you on this is to start giving them their food inside puzzle toys so that it takes them longer to eat (and avoid the aftermath of indigestion) and they build confidence inside the crate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Convince them further about their crates being friendly places to be by hiding treats and toys inside for your puppy to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have to leave for an extended time, the puppy tip we would give you is to have the crate connected to a play pen with a toilet training pad (as farthest from the crate as you can) to help them distinguish their toilet area from their sleeping and activity better. Wouldn\u2019t want to get those mixed up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no secret that puppies love to play! Here are some of our best new puppy tips to make the most out of play time: <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re welcome to give your puppy a hand while playing, just make sure it\u2019s not your literal <\/em>hand. One of the best new puppy tips is to always use toys to play with your dog (not just with your hands) to avoid getting bitten by their (very) baby shark teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you are now well aware, you don\u2019t want to mix sharp teeth with your hands. We recommend discouraging puppies from playing wrestling or rough housing games when they\u2019re young to avoid damaging them, or us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can\u2019t deny they make the perfect pair, as long as they are supervised. Don\u2019t leave young children and puppies playing together unsupervised since it\u2019s all too easy for a puppy to accidentally scratch a child when going for a toy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yep, this new puppy tip is for you. Although puppies can seem quite strong because of their high energy and sharp teeth, they\u2019re more delicate than we may realize. We don\u2019t want to frighten you, but being too rough in play can cause serious damage to their joints and even pull their teeth out. But all of this is easily avoided by being gentle \u2013 they\u2019re really just babies in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fun games are one of the joys of looking after a puppy. <\/strong>Those that encourage innate behavior such as chasing (toys, not children!) sniffing, chewing, scavenging and digging are tip top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a great new puppy tip to help socialize your puppy. Show your puppy that great things come with sharing, by swapping a lot during playtime (kind of like a \u2018if I give you this you give me that\u2019 situation). This will prevent your puppy from resource guarding and becoming like Lucy Van Pelt (the well-known anti-hero of the Peanuts series).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can try this by playing with one toy, and then pulling out another one your puppy likes. Incite play with that one so that they drop the first one, and continue the cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing beats a good chew at a squishy toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Puppy care also includes looking after your dog\u2019s mental wellbeing. Having an enriched environment for your puppy\u2019s mental development is quite important for learning to lower stress and boredom. You will often hear this referred to as Environmental Enrichment \u2013 or keep things cool, simply as enrichment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sounds like we should take notes for our own mental development, to be fair. So, take a look at our new puppy tips on enrichment, so you can get started the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In everybody\u2019s world, not only dogs\u2019, being sociable is one of the most important things we can do to simply make life run smoother and better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For your puppy, this means meeting new and different people, animals and experiences. In this puppy tip, we want to highlight that it\u2019s very important to start training puppies to be sociable while they\u2019re young, so that they can overcome any struggle or worry as quickly as possible, and simply enjoy their time outside a lot sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a couple of puppy socialization tips you\u2019ll find useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This puppy tip is crucial, by making sure you don\u2019t rush yourself or your puppy into a situation. The first few days your puppy is home everything can feel overwhelming, so take your time, and don\u2019t do everything all at once. Easy does it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A good activity we like doing during their first days at home is to sit just outside of your home and allow them to observe their surroundings. This lets them take in vital information about the world around them; and although first encounters with things like curious pigeons or loud cars can startle them a bit, they\u2019ll bounce back quickly and realize that they won\u2019t do them any harm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PRO TIP: <\/strong>With puppies, \u201cfacing their fears” doesn\u2019t work. If they have a strong fearful response to something, move them away from it, and allow them to experience it from afar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Every day you take your puppy outside, make sure to always remember this puppy tip and bring some treats with you so you can reward him for jobs well done every now and then \u2013 the lesson is that the outside world is a rewarding place. It truly is to be honest, the number of times a simple picnic in the park has uplifted our moods is evidence of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s rather not turn it into a national event. We recommend that just two people visit your puppy at a time during their first week at home to avoid getting so overwhelmed by so many new faces all at once. All the ooh\u2019s and the aah\u2019s can be a bit too much as a wee lad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you have people come visit your puppy, allow your puppy to approach them when they are ready. This is a great new puppy tip to help them get used to new people being allowed in their home, not just their family! Handing guests a few treats can be a great help in making your puppy enjoy the experience of being around new people. Perhaps we should try doing the same next time we find ourselves in the middle of strangers at a birthday party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, diversity also matters in your puppy\u2019s world. Build familiarity between your puppy and people of all: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Puppy classes may be a big question mark to some people when it comes to having a new puppy, here is our puppy tip on why they are important. Puppy classes are quite helpful ways to get your puppy socializing in a safe, controlled way. Examples we recommend of well-run puppy class are definitely with trainers from www.capbt.org<\/a> and www.apdt.co.uk<\/a> or a member of UK Dog Behavior and Training Charter: Homepage<\/a> Besides their shining personalities, dog trainers will talk you through puppy socialization. Ask whether they allow free play with other puppies! It\u2019ll be grand for them, but also within a controlled, safe environment so no one gets hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Puppy tip to remember\u2013 your puppy isn\u2019t everybody\u2019s, so if you don\u2019t want a stranger touching them, that\u2019s completely fine. Just make up an excuse (an excellent opportunity to think creatively) and move along! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carriers are truly the bee\u2019s knees when it comes to your puppy\u2019s first steps in socialization. We encourage using carriers when going on socialization field trips with your puppy, especially ones that involve public transport like trains and buses. Going on a ride for a few stops will do just fine \u2013 it will help them feel safe and confident in entirely new surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is one of the most important puppy tips for new puppies: as long as you\u2019re cool as a cucumber, they\u2019ll follow. If we teach our puppy that all of these new (and often dodgy-looking) experiences are no great shakes, it will rub off on them and help them become strong, independent, confident dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/del>adventure, we\u2019ve gathered some of the most useful puppy <\/ins>tips and insights you\u2019re going to need to hit the ground running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n80+ New puppy tips \u2013 How to look after a puppy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
