Be the boss and set the rules for your Puppy.
Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Don't even give them a
taste.
Don't leave your puppy unsupervised. They chew
and swallow everything.
Exercise your puppy every day. Exercise is good for
your puppy's health, it helps them release extra
energy, and it helps minimize undesirable
behavior.
Feed your puppy a nutritious puppy food. Food
allowances can be found on the back of the
package.
Give your puppy praise when he/she does something right. This reinforces the correct behavior.
Household cleaners are poisonous to puppies. Place cleaners out of the reach of your puppy.
Invest in a training class for your puppy.
Jumping up to greet you is a common puppy behavior. Train your puppy not to jump - firmly say NO and tell it to sit, then greet it.
You may think jumping is cute when he's 10
pounds, but when he's 100 pounds he's going
to knock you over.
Keep your puppy away from electrical cords, wires, household cleaners, coins, and other objects
your puppy might like to chew and swallow.
Love your puppy, give it a lot of attention, take it to the vet for regular check-ups, feed it a healthy
diet, train it, and play with it.
Make sure you get a dog license for your puppy and have an ID tag on its collar. An identification chip such as "Home Again" can be easily inserted at your veterinarian's office.
