Find A Dog!


Your current or future puppy should look at you as the "pack" leader. The more fun and rewarding activities you allow him to experience the better his life will be. A well-trained, well-socialized puppy should become a great dog, one to be proud of and one who will be at your side for life!

Housetraining:
One of the first things you will want to train your pet is to not relieve himself inside the home unless you have a designated area for him to do so. Puppies usually need to eliminate more than older dogs so the sooner you teach him the better. Training a puppy is usually easier than training a dog but this will still take time and patience.
Take your puppy outside often. When your puppy eliminates, let him know he did something great! Pet him, say, "good puppy, good puppy!" and lavish him with praise maybe even a treat!

Keep in mind; you WILL be cleaning up messes in the house until your puppy learns what, when and where to go.

Socialization:
Allow him to socialize with other animals and people if possible. The more positive experiences he has with people of all ages and other animals such as cats, the more likely he will accept them during his life. Take your puppy to a park and, if possible and safe, allow him to be petted by strangers who will approach.

Mental Stimulation:
Keep you puppy active! Give him things to do. This can be as simple as playing with a toy or a little more complicated like fetching a Frisbee. Allow him an easy way to look out the window and watch the world when inside.
- Dog parks
- Long walks

Give lots of love:
Always talk kindly to your puppy. Pet him and rub his tummy. Maybe snuggle up while watching television or reading a book. Dogs need lots of love and your kindness.


A happy and healthy pet contributes to your own health and happiness.

The articles here are constructed to help aide you in making informative decisions concerning your puppy and dog and your family. The intentions of these articles are to help give you choices on how to find your puppy, topics of discussions with family members before the decision to get a dog is set in stone, how to prepare your home for him, how to care for him throughout his life and how to spend quality, enjoyable time with him.

Any medical advice or health information should never take the place of your veterinarian. If your dog is not feeling well or there is something wrong, don’t wait! Make a doctor’s appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible.

We welcome any suggestions to our articles.

Our contributors are working hard to bring you the most up-to-date quality information.
