Keep you and your dog safe at night with Zhoodz ®
Early days Puppies learn very quickly and the first few days of having him home with you are vital . You must set the ground-rules now and ensure your whole family knows the rules . For example : Your puppy is very likely to cry the first night he is alone . If you give in and take him into your bed , that ’ s where he is likely to stay . Ensuring he has a warm , safe and secure bed ( crate training is an option ) in a room that is closed off from the rest of the house with toys and a papered area to toilet is a good idea from day one ! Puppies are excitable and ‘ jumpie !’ Did you say ‘ not on the furniture ?’ But isn ’ t he bouncing around on the sofa ? Stick to the rules .
Toilet training Your puppy won ’ t be toilet trained overnight . Be patient and consistent . Good tips include : Take your puppy out to the garden regularly – ever 30 minutes or so if possible – to allow him the chance to go to the toilet . Give lots of praise when he pee ’ s or poops ! NEVER punish your puppy if he has an accident in the house Set up a regular feeding routine – this will help you to anticipate when he ’ ll need the loo !

Mouthing This is the act of ‘ biting ’ something that very young puppies do frequently . NEVER punish a puppy for mouthing – it is a natural state of play for puppies and also occurs when they are teething . Socializing your puppy with other dogs will help to curb biting as other dogs will ‘ show him the way .’ Your local vet may run puppy parties ! If your puppy is playing and biting – stop the play session . Give him a ‘ raggy ’ to chew on rather than your trousers !
Obedience Once your puppy has had all of his vaccinations you can enroll in puppy classes . Your local vet may run these or will be able to recommend local trainers Basic sit , down , stay and recall are relatively easy to teach most puppies . Find out what motivates your dog Food ( although don ’ t over-feed with treats ), Toys or Fuss Training should always be fun and don ’ t overdo it – a bit like a child a puppy will only have a short attention span !
