Welcome

Congratulations!
Your new Puppy is coming home. Remember that they are leaving everything
they ever knew, seen or loved behind. Brothers and Sister, Mom, Dad
and "home" are all gone now. Puppy is coming into a new strange home,
with new people, new surroundings, new obstacles, new scents and new threats.
Be very paitent with your new Puppy because it may be very afraid and will
probably whine, wimper and probably bark a little until the newness wears
off. YOU must step in and be there for your new baby. YOU must
take the place of Mom, Dad, Siblings and Friend right off the bat.
YOU must give your Puppy the required attention to acclimate him/her with
as little hardship as possible, both to you and the Puppy. You have
taken the time to invest in a Purebred animal and are beginning a new relationship
and you have just brought home your new best friend. Be loving and
kind always and NEVER strike your Puppy.
The
First Few Nights The first
few nights in a new home can be a scary experience for a puppy who is used
to sleeping in the cozy nest with his litter mates.
In the wild, when young
cubs are isolated from their pack, they become very emotional and begin
whining,barking or howling. If they are hung up in the brush, they'll dig
and chew to free themselves and be reunited with the pack.
These behaviors are genetically based and increase the chances of survival.
Do not scold your puppy
at first for crying at night. Instead, reassure him. Crying
is a perfectly normal reaction, under the circumstances. The first
few nights call for greater indulgence. Do not however remove puppy
from his crate WHEN he is crying, as he will learng very quickly that CRYING
= REMOVAL
KIDS AND PUPPIES
Love and pay attention
to your Puppy, but don't over-handle the animal. Give special attention
to young children and your new Puppy, teach them the proper and gentle
way to handle their new 'buddy'. Explain to them the dangers of leaving
a puppy alone and unattended on a sofa or bed. Emphasize with them
how 'carefully' they must step and watch for the unsuspecting puppy on
the floor, show them the proper way to pick up and hold the puppy, etc....All
of our Papillons/Puppies are raised IN OUR HOME amongst and with our children,
so they will be looking forward to LOTS of fun/gentle play time and attention
from yours. Always control the amount of time a Puppy is handled
and try to remember that puppies usually have TWO SPEEDS.....full BLAST
and CRASH <zzzz> Rest is very important for puppy, as important
as a good diet and LOTSA love!!
*****LASTLY....HUG
AND KISS YOUR PUPPY AT LEAST ONCE EVERYDAY!!!!!! *****
