Did You Get A New Puppy For Christmas?

Many of you may have got a new puppy for Christmas. Hopefully you did your homework, and this was not an impulse purchase. The first few days you spend with your new puppy are crucial, so make it a wonderful experience. You may not realize it but what transpires during those first few days imprints on your puppy.

Socializing and training a new puppy should begin immediately. Always supervise children around your new puppy. Be careful of other dog, not all dogs are friendly. If your puppy has a bad experience, it can negatively effect them in a similar situation in the future. In other words, during those first few days be selective with their exposure to other people and pets.

Always remember that dog ownership is a commitment for life. They will always look to you to provide them with food, water, shelter from the weather (be it hot or cold), baths, clean-up of their feces, and health care.
