How to help a puppy adapt to a new family?
The first very serious task for every owner is to help the puppy adapt to new conditions after moving from the kennel to a new home and reduce stress to a minimum.
Most often, puppies are taken into a family at a very early age.
This is usually at 2-3 months of age.
No matter how strong a puppy's psyche may be, it experiences great stress when it finds itself in a new home, even if it appears calm or cheerful to you.
It is the responsibility of every owner to help their puppy adapt to new conditions and minimise stress.
It is only natural that when a chubby little baby appears in your home, you and your whole family experience the most tender, joyful and overwhelming emotions.
How could it be otherwise? You might say, how can anyone remain indifferent when they see this wonderful miracle!
Let's look at this situation through the eyes of two- or three-month-old puppies.
In the wild, a small puppy (wolf cub, etc.) that finds itself without its mother in the territory of a foreign family is doomed to die.
In fact, your intense interest is a direct threat to the baby, and it will be in a serious stressful situation because it believes that it is about to be eaten.
Many people mistakenly believe that when a puppy wags its tail, plays, cuddles, rolls over on its back, or even squeaks, it is a demonstration of joy and a desire to play, and therefore there is no cause for concern.
Why is this a misconception?
Because such behaviour is normal for a dog that knows you well and feels confident in your home.
When we are dealing with a puppy that has just arrived in unfamiliar territory, such actions only indicate its desire to survive.
And with this behaviour, it demonstrates complete submission.
Як ми можемо допомогти цуценяті в ці перші кілька днів?
Дати йому зрозуміти, що боятися нічого, ми не збираємося його їсти на обід, а навпаки, приймаємо до своєї сім'ї, любитимемо і піклуватимемося про нього.
1. Before the puppy arrives, explain to all members of your family, especially children, how important it is to learn to control and restrain their emotions so that the puppy does not experience excessive stress.
This applies to both negative and positive emotions.
For the first three to four days, interact with the puppy calmly and do not show any emotion towards it or others in its presence.
2. Use minimal restraining movements:
do not squeeze the puppy, do not hug it, and do not smother it with kisses.
You have 15 years ahead of you for hugs and kisses, so be patient for three days.
Do not grab its paws. If you need to take its paw, for example, to wash it, do so gently and carefully, starting by stroking its shoulder.
Do not take any actions such as grabbing the puppy by the scruff of its neck and shaking or pressing it to the floor. Never. Ever. Taboo.
3. Show your puppy that you, as the true leader of your family, are always ready to share your ‘prey’ with him — feed him from your hand.
Even if the puppy does not refuse to eat from its bowl in the first few days, feed it from your hand as often as possible.
There will be no harm if all members of your family share the treat as well.
4. Sleep with your puppy.
Yes, sleep next to your puppy on the floor for the first two, three, or four nights.
Do not take your puppy into your bed, as it may jump off or fall in its sleep and injure itself.
So lay a blanket on the floor next to its ‘spot’ and sleep next to your puppy.
Your puppy may snuggle up close to you, or it may sleep on its bed, but sleep next to your puppy for the first few days. This will make your puppy feel safer.
5. Under no circumstances should you scold your puppy, especially in the early days, whether it's a puddle on the floor or a damaged item.
It is important to remember that any chewed items in the house that you left unattended or within reach are your fault. Scold yourself.
And puddles are completely normal for a small puppy.
6. Do not make sudden movements.
Do not lean over or hover over the puppy abruptly. Gently and quietly crouch down and do what you need to do: stroke the puppy, fasten its collar, or hold food in your palm, etc.
