And another one! Bringing our puppy home on Monday, probably be back around 1-2pm
we have a crate and a pen set up in our living room/kitchen (he’s used to a pen but not a crate so I don’t want to force crate training on him too quickly) and I’m going to sleep on a blow up mattress with him for at least the first few nights.
I know we should take him outside to wee often (every hour?) and reward heavily when he does so, use opportunities for basic training but generally get to know him and let him know his surroundings.
when it comes to food, what did everyone do at first in terms of mealtimes? As soon as you get up (after a wee break)? Then what like lunchtimeish, late afternoon, and a bit before bedtime? Is there a certain time between meals although I’m aware he’ll also get lots of treats through training and games etc, but as he’s a puppy do treats go on top of meals at first?
anyone care to give me a bit of insight as to what those first few days look like? He’s 10weeks old and will be having his first jabs on Friday - PROMISE to post pictures when we get him!
