🐾 Welcoming a new puppy is exciting but it can also feel a little overwhelming at times!
Here are 5 essential tips to help you and your pup thrive:
Prioritise Sleep 💤 – Just like humans, puppies need lots of rest for healthy growth. 18-20 hours they need in those early days. Create a cozy, quiet space for your pup to nap undisturbed.
Foster Happiness and Well-Being 😊❤️ – Use positive reinforcement and plenty of love to build trust and happiness. Regular vet visits, a nutritious diet, and mental stimulation through toys and exploration keep your puppy healthy and joyful.
Use Management When Needed 🛑 – Set your puppy up for success by managing their environment. Use baby gates, crates, or close doors to prevent accidents and discourage chewing on inappropriate objects. This reduces stress for you and keeps your pup safe.
Respect Consent 🤝 – Pay attention to your puppy’s comfort. Learn to read and understand dog body language. Let them approach new people and experiences at their own pace to build confidence and reduce anxiety.
Offer Enrichment 🧸 – Keep your puppy’s mind engaged with toys, puzzles, and new experiences to promote mental growth and prevent boredom.
Enjoy every moment of puppyhood and watch your furry friend grow into a confident, happy dog! 🐶✨
