Have you ever taken a moment to think about all the ways that dogs really are our best friends?
It’s SO much easier to teach your dog what you DO want and reward the behavior, rather than trying to correct what you don’t.
Plan a trip with your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness in mind. Traveling with a fur baby means having everything you need—and easily accessible.
For your family, manage expectations about who, when and where everyone gets to meet your new addition. Don’t take the whole family to pick up the puppy, and let your pup settle in and settle down before meeting the entire household.
Puppy-proof your home by getting down on their level. Remove anything hazardous or tempting—basically anything within their reach including plants, cords, rugs, etc
Choosing a name for your new family member is almost as exciting as meeting them for the first time. And like your own name, it’s a lifetime decision for your pet, so choose wisely.
