Puppies

Arriving Home

In the first few weeks of life, your

puppy will have become accustomed to

the safety and security of his breeder’s

home. He will have been nurtured

by his mother and surrounded by his

littermates, eating with them, playing

with them, and sleeping with them.

he day you collect your puppy, everything will

change. He will be placed in completely alien

surroundings with people he does not know,

and without the support of his mother and siblings.

It is no wonder even the boldest puppy finds it quite a

daunting experience.

Try to make the transition as smooth as possible by

not overwhelming your puppy with too much attention.

Allow him to explore his new surroundings—first the

yard, then the room where you have located his crate—

and give him a chance to find his feet.
