Settling In

You're about to pick up your new puppy and bring her home. But suddenly you realize you're not sure what to do to help her settle in. Here's a few thoughts to make the transition easier for you and your new dog:

• Keep things mellow during the first few days that your new puppy is home to give her time to adjust.

• Show her where to eliminate upon your arrival and then let her explore her new home after her potty break.

• Work out a routine appropriate to your puppy's age. Meal times, frequent potty breaks, and playtime will let your puppy know what to expect.

• Make sure that she has plenty of chew toys to keep her busy gnawing at the appropriate things.

• Try crating her near you the first few nights so that she is not isolated. Place a stuffed toy or towel near her to remind her of her littermates. The first night may be the most difficult for your new dog.
