Our daughter’s coming home with a puppy changed our lives. Now everything revolves around it and we don’t really know what we should do to adapt it to our home as soon as possible. Can you help us?

The first thing you should do is plan together what that puppy’s life will be like in your home. You need to agree on how to divide up any tasks that may arise around him, from who to take him for a walk to who to take him to the vet. You can even do it in order. Having a new member of this type in the family is an unrivaled opportunity to build a team. On the other hand, the animal should have a sheltered place to rest, sleep or just to feel safe. We must provide them with constant direction and a balanced environment, without shouting, violent or tense reactions, so that their behavior is balanced. Socialize him and train him patiently, they will be our best allies. We will also need to be patient until he learns to relax outside the home. Finally, you must choose a reference veterinary clinic. In it, they will always accompany you and advise you throughout the life of the animal, especially in the first days of his stay at home.
