BRINGING HOME PUPPY

38.Make sure you understand the pros and
the cons of the breed you are getting (or
have gotten). To make sure you get useful feedback,
talk to a local trainer or veterinarian. These
professionals have seen the good and bad of each
breed and can provide balanced input.

39.When is the best time to get a dog? Ideally,
bring your puppy home approximately
three years before you plan to introduce
children into the household. This will give the dog
plenty of time to be trained and to mature. He will
then be better able to handle the introduction of
the children. The dog will also be less work for
mom and dad by the time the children arrive.
If you have young children and the household is
determined to get a pet, try a cat or a fish. Cats
require much less raising, care, and maintenance
than dogs do. You will still need to kitten-proof
and supervise your children with the cat, but this
might be a better alternative.

40.Conversely, if small children are already
in the household, waiting until the children
are between eight and ten years of age is recommended.
Children of this age have more
self-control and maturity, and Mom and Dad have
more available time for raising the puppy now that
the children don’t require constant monitoring.

41.Never assume the children will care for
your puppy or dog. Raising a puppy is
not a learning experience for your children. Only
bring a puppy into the household if the adult
owners both agree that this is the right idea at the
right time.

42.Introduce the leash and collar when the
puppy comes home for the first time.
Keep your puppy on a leash while she is out of the
crate. Allow her to drag her leash around so that it
will become a normal part of her day-to-day life.

RAISING TIPS

43.Stay in constant watch of your puppy.
The more you watch and direct his every
action, the fewer mistakes he will make. Less mistakes
means less stress for the owner. Less stress
for the owner means no temper tantrums or displays
of the “ugly owner.” Less of this “stressed
out” behavior from leaders leads to more trust
from puppy to human. Easy, yes?

44.Unknown Boundaries: You can’t make a
correction for something that your
puppy doesn’t understand yet. So if you’re puppy
is going into unchartered waters (rooms off limits),
do not yell or vocally reprimand. Play the
name game and call her back and praise her for
following your lead.

45.Keep your puppy on a leash in order to
redirect him more neutrally. If you see
him get into something inappropriate, gently tug
the leash and call his name (without anger) to call
him away from his mistake.

46.Keep in mind that puppies are truly
making mistakes in this stage. If we
respond to mistakes with anger, our puppies may
accidentally learn that exploring is negative (and
that we are negative!). Mistakes are mistakes at
this stage. The only thing they need to learn is
that their leaders will help them learn fairly and
calmly. Whether it’s a housebreaking accident, a
chewing mistake, or a mouthing mistake, keep
your cool and redirect your puppy.

47.Be a good baby-sitter. Since we need to
tend to their needs completely, don’t
leave your puppy alone in the yard by himself or
unattended to “play” by himself in the living
room. When you’re with your puppy, plan activities
to occupy his time. Balls, chew toys, puppy
manners exercises, walks, etc., are all creative
ways to keep your puppy involved with something
positive.

48.When you can’t supervise your puppy,
place her in her crate for a nap. This is
the easiest way to prevent errors.You may need to
crate her simply to pay bills or cook dinner, and
then take her out again. Feel good about using
your crate as a way to supervise (safeguard) your
puppy when you can’t supervise her. Think of the
tools we use for children when we can’t actually
hold them: walker, playpen, swing, crib. Tools or
“training wheels” are always used for safety until
the little one is safe by herself.

49.Keep chew toys in every room in which
you wish to take your puppy. If toys are
readily available, you can always give your puppy
something positive to do with her time while
you’re brushing your teeth or putting on your
shoes. This prevents table legs, your legs, and
leather shoes from being “chew toy du jour!”

TETHERING OR “POSTING”

50.The “canine umbilical cord”: If you need
to fold laundry or do the dishes and you
wish to have your puppy with you rather than
crated, tether her to a table leg or tie the leash
around your waist or belt. Keeping your puppy
tethered in the room with you will keep a “boundary”
in place and keep her in your visual field. Be
sure the object you tether your puppy to is something
heavy, like a bedpost, sofa, or heavy dresser,
so your dog can’t move the object or pull it over
and injure herself.

51.Only tether your puppy while she’s
wearing a flat, material collar. Never
tether a dog while she’s wearing any sort of training
collar. It helps if your puppy’s material collar
has a quick-release latch in case she gets tangled.
Never use a choker chain or prong collar for tethering,
and never tether your puppy unattended or
for long periods without supervision.

52.You may want to have several tethers
already set up around your house. Pick
the most used rooms like your bedroom, office,
and living room. Have a tether already set up in
each room so that you can easily hook your puppy
up to it as you move around the house with her.
