🐶 Tips and Tricks for Successful Puppy Raising

Whether you went and found a puppy or Santa arrived with one in the holidays, a wiggly pup is a wonderful addition to the family. That said, bringing home a new puppy is also a lot of responsibility.

Puppies are energetic and require constant supervision and attention, making it difficult to maintain a consistent routine. They can’t just be added to the family and ignored — or you’ll have a sad and poorly adjusted pup on your hands. In this newsletter, we’ll share ways to ensure your pup has a joyful puppyhood!

Sit & Stay Pro Tip — Tricks for New Puppy Pawrents

Let’s be honest: having a new puppy around (or even a new-to-you rescue pup) can also feel a bit overwhelming. Don't worry, fellow dog lovers! Here are a few pawsome tips to help you navigate the puppyhood journey:

• Consistency is Key: Puppies thrive on routine. Establish a regular feeding, potty, and playtime schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Do keep in mind that puppies go potty more often than adult dogs, so extra breaks are needed. A safe rule of thumb for puppies is that they can hold their bladders based on hours according to their age. So a 3-month-old can last 3 hours, a 4-month-old for 4 hours, etc.

• Early Socialization is Crucial: Expose your puppy to a variety of sights, sounds, and experiences. This helps them become well-adjusted adults.

• Positive Reinforcement Rocks: Reward good behavior with praise, treats, and affection. Avoid punishment or negative reinforcement, as it can create fear and anxiety.

• Potty Training Patience: Accidents will happen! Stay calm, remain patient, and look back to your positive reinforcement methods.

• Exercise is Essential: Daily walks and playtime are vital for both physical and mental stimulation. Young pups love a sniffari adventure!

• Chewing is Normal: Provide plenty of appropriate chew toys and redirect chewing to acceptable items—this will undoubtedly save your shoes.

• Don't Forget Mental Stimulation: Puzzle feeders, interactive toys, and training games will keep your puppy engaged.

• Rest is Important: Puppies need plenty of sleep to grow and develop. They also need beauty rest if they’re going to keep playing at top speed. 

Raising a puppy is a journey filled with love, laughter, and learning. Your puppy will grow physically, and you will all grow together as a wonderful family. Remember to be patient and consistent, and enjoy every wagging tail and sloppy kiss!

Vet Recommendation — Don’t Forget To Vaccinate Your Puppy

When raising a puppy, it’s vital to know their general vaccination schedule so they can stay on track to be happy and healthy. Plus, if you want to take them to daycare or boarding, they’ll need to be up to date on their vaccinations.

• Distemper, Hepatitis, and Parvovirus: This combination vaccine is typically given in three doses, starting between 6 and 8 weeks of age and concluding around 16 weeks.

• Leptospirosis: This vaccine can be administered as part of the combination vaccine or separately. It usually requires two doses spaced 3-4 weeks apart if given separately.

• Rabies: The rabies vaccine is often administered between 12 and 16 weeks of age.
