Having made the difficult decision to enlarge our family with a dog, there are a number of questions that a rise, this article seeks to resolve some doubts about the early care that we should give our puppy when he gets home.
The first thing to consider is that the puppy has been separated from his mother and his brothers, and will feel unsure of its new surroundings, it will need time to adjust to its new environment. It will need a leader that provides food, love and teaches them gradually what is good and bad. With as much contact as possible to make them feel loved and secure.
There are many websites, books and ethologists that treat with the subject in depth, you will find attached some links that we found most interesting.

Another issue is the time that we can devote to our puppy and what to do with him during that time. According to experts, dogs need constant exercise, to go out 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) so they can see to their needs, exercise and socialize both with people and with other dogs. Dogs are 100 percent sociable animals, they are used to living in packs, leaving them alone will represent a huge challenge. We often meet dogs with a recurring separation syndrome (destroy furniture, they get depressed, etc..). To mediate this problem we can use different tactics, such as the use of “Kong”, using toys to distract them, leave some clothes with your scent to remind them of you and gradually increase the time you are absent, first 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, 1 hour and so on until they get used to you always coming back and they don’t feel ABANDONED.
The ritual of coming home for ethologists is a key point, since we should not ignore our beloved pet but we should also act naturally, do a couple of things at home before greeting our dog and only if it is behaving . (This will eventually create in our pet a secure feeling that will be appreciated afterward).
When we leave them at home alone, see that our puppies have a comfortable place to sleep, toys for entertainment, water and food. In the early days, put newspapers around so they can relieve themselves.

Out on the street?? "When fully vaccinated", to avoid deadly diseases such as parvovirus and distemper.
Every new experience for our puppy will take some time, the collar bothers many dogs and they tend to take a while to get used to it so we must take things slowly, increasing training a little each day, until they no longer notice it. The leash is an important obstacle as well, it takes a lot of patience, start at home, bring a toy to distract them in the street and do not give up! He will be your friend for the next 10-15 years.
According to many experts in the field, we can give a third of the daily food in the form of prizes or rewards, so we can stimulate them and make progress in their education.
It is generally considered as basic points in their education that a puppy should respond to his name, stay still when ordered, and of course, walk next to us without a leash.
Anyway, these items appear, in the second part, for the different aspects of education and raising a healthy puppy.
