After you welcome your pup into your home, keep in mind that though it is a happy moment for you, it is a very crucial moment for your pup. It has just left its mother, brothers & sisters and now it is entering a new world provided by you. Adopting a pup is easy but understanding a pup requires a lot of emotions.
You need to intentionally follow the 3 important steps.
1. Now your pup is moving in the house, that is very good let it move where it wants. Do not stop or shout on it. It is a new world for your pup, let it explore. But also do not let it chew anything it wants, do not shout but just stop him.
2. Try to give maximum freedom that it wants, as it is a first day in the new place. Let him choose his own space. Or if you intend that your pup must stay in a particular room or area in your house then you were needed some basic work. Rub any scrap cloth on the mother of a pup; wrap any big bottle in that cloth & keep it where you want your pup should remain. You know the wonderful thing? The bottle in the cloth gives it a feel that it is in the laps of its mother. Preparation of puppy training & turning a puppy into the smart pup starts from here only.
3. Start to develop an eye contact with your pup. Keep an old newspaper ready in your hand. Understood what preparation we are doing? You are teaching first very important lesson to your puppy. 'A toilet training'! This is one of the most important things. Now how to do it? When your pup urinates wet that newspaper with it & keeps it in the toilet. Do it for the next 5 to 6 day. Your pup will start using the toilet.
Apply the above 3 strategies; those are out of my personal experience. And to follow it is very necessary for the great future of your puppy.
