How To Introduce A New Puppy To Your Other Pets?

Puppy Talk

Hi all,
Good day to you.
I believe you had a wonderful weekend.

Well, I have yet to plan out a new series for our sharing, give me a idea.

So, for the next few post, I shall share whatever comes to my mind, and today, we shall share about ..............

6 Steps To Introducing A New Puppy To Your Other Pets

Introducing a puppy to the existing pets in a household is accomplished positively if the established house-pet is acknowledged before the puppy is acknowledged.

1. Before bringing puppy home, feed your established pet a partial meal.

2. When you bring the puppy home, bring your pet outside to greet the puppy. If you have a particularly dominant-type pet, arrange this meeting a block or so from your home.

3. Walk the pet with the puppy (however well you can get the puppy to walk!) and let the existing pet sniff the puppy all he wants. Stay outside for forty-five minutes to an hour.

4. Take the pet and puppy into the house and just walk around the house for ten to fifteen minutes, letting everyone get adjusted to a new body in the house.

5. Feed the established pet another partial meal and let puppy watch.

6. Feed the established pet again, and this time put a bowl down for puppy. If the other pet comes to the puppy's bowl, tell him "No." Whenever you feed your animals, feed the older ones first, but make them respect the puppy's bowl.

If you already have a pet and getting a new puppy, try the method illustrated above.

Ok, that's all for today sharing, till we 'woof' again, have fun.

Cheers.
