First Thing In The Morning

The next morning, you will find your little pup very happy to see you. It is a good idea to take them outdoors for a potty call. You will find that excitement with a puppy often results in their need to urinate. Right from the start you want to set the stage about the right behavior you want from your puppy. Puppies and dogs want to please you, so encourage them from day one about the positive behavior traits you are looking for them to exhibit. As I said, they will be happy to see you first thing in the morning, they are not going to care if your hair is combed, if you showered, bad breath, none of this will matter to them. Our canine companions are never judgmental toward us; they truly know how to love unconditionally. After you both have had a chance to greet one another, your puppy is probably hungry. I chose to feed our pups outside. You should also have fresh water available to them. Keep in mind, that after food your puppy will need to urinate or defecate, probably both. The desired behavior trait you will want is for this to occur outside. By feeding them outdoors it will seem quite natural for them to go to the yard and do their business. If you continue to feed them this way, they will be learning that urinating and defecating outdoors is a good behavior. It will become second nature to them, part of their morning routine. You have to do more than this to housebreak your pup, but this is a very good way to start.

In those first few days, try to spend several times a day one on one with your pup. This is not usually difficult for anyone to do, puppies are irresistible. Bonding with them is very important. Let them explore the yard, but make sure you keep an eye on them. They will inevitably get into mischief and there are certain things you want to stop immediately. Training has to begin right from the start, remember you are top dog.
