You have been thinking about it for days now or even weeks.
You asked your loved ones if it is OK with them too.
You read books, internet articles, tips and other ways in proper handling.
And finally you go out and search for your perfect dog! You found him! What to do now? It's time to bring her home! But are your ready? Are you prepared? Here are some things that you must have thought about before you bring home this cute little puppy to you home.
Pick a quiet time to bring home your new puppy or dog.
At all costs avoid noisy family occasions such as Christmas and birthday.
You will find that no reputable breeder or rescue shelter will sell dogs at these time.
The dog will be unsure of what to expect in its new home: it may be away from its mother and siblings for the first time, and so calm and quiet and needed.
Don't expect miracles - a puppy will not be house - trained and an adult rescue may have accidents for for the first few days.
Make sure your new dog has a quiet area with a bed in which to sleep and that he or she is shown where the water bowl is.
A soft blanket, some toys, a calm atmosphere, some reassurance and hopefully your dog should soon settle in.
That's it! Once everything is set you can set a few days to adjust and then you can start training your new pet.
