The First 48 Hours With Your New Puppy: What to Expect
Bringing a new puppy home can be a simultaneously exciting and nerve-wracking experience. The joy of providing a forever home for an adorable puppy can also be met with a little hesitance – that you might do something wrong, or your property might be damaged by an untrained puppy on the loose.
The first 48 hours with your new puppy can be unpredictable and even restless, but making it through the first few days is the hardest part. After that, you will see your new friend settling into routines and adjusting to their unfamiliar environment.
If you’re serious about raising a puppy, don’t let the potential stresses of the first 48 hours discourage you from going forward with adopting or purchasing one. Remaining diligent and preparing yourself for some common obstacles that new dog owners face early on will give you the confidence to conquer the first 48 hours.
Puppy-Proofing Your Home
Even before your puppy sets foot in your home, puppy-proofing your house is crucial in ensuring the safety of your dog as well as the protection of your property. By moving items that your dog could potentially harm himself with, or even destroy, you’re well on your way to safe-guarding your home.
This includes loose cables from phone and laptop chargers, important documents, children’s toys, and even food if it’s in a low enough spot for your puppy to find and possibly eat. A good rule of thumb should be: if your puppy can reach it and you don’t want it tampered with, then find a safe place to keep it while he is adjusting to his new surroundings.
