1 \u2013 Upon arrival: the first moments count<\/strong><\/h3>\nPlace your puppy on the floor and let him explore his new home at his own pace.<\/p>\n
He needs to explore, sniff, and observe\u2026 This is how he begins to feel at home.<\/p>\n
Calm is essential. A gentle and soothing atmosphere will help him gain confidence.
\nIf there are children, explain to them that it\u2019s important to speak softly and not run or move around him. Reunions with family and friends can wait a few days; introductions will happen gradually.<\/p>\n
Upon his arrival, restrict his access to certain rooms so he naturally understands which areas are allowed and which are not. A clear framework is reassuring for a puppy.<\/p>\n
Remember that he has just been separated from his mother, siblings, and breeder. Everything is new to him: the smells, the sounds, the routines. He needs time to get his bearings.<\/p>\n
Let him come to you. Don\u2019t force him. Trust is always built gently.<\/p>\n
After a few days, you\u2019ll sense he\u2019s more relaxed, more curious, and more at ease. He\u2019ll then be ready to meet new people and begin his first learning experiences.<\/p>\n
And remember:
\none word = one command.
\nChoose a simple word and always use the same one. Consistency prevents confusion and makes learning easier.<\/p>\n
The beginning sets the tone for your relationship. With patience, kindness, and consistency, you lay the foundation for a beautiful bond.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d482\u2033 img_size=\u201d400*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-2\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_id=\u201dsection-sonnom\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 Teach him his name.<\/strong><\/h3>\nLearning his name is the first step toward listening and building a relationship.<\/p>\n
Call him gently by his first name. When he turns toward you or comes to you, praise him immediately with a pat, a cheerful voice, or a small treat.<\/p>\n
He needs to associate his name with something positive: your attention, your smile, your satisfaction.<\/p>\n
After each success, let him go back to his activities, then try again a little later. The sessions should remain short, simple, and enjoyable.<\/p>\n
Repeat the exercise several times a day, calmly, and never use his name to scold him. His first name should always be synonymous with trust and pleasure.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d572\u2033 img_size=\u201d400*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-1\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_id=\u201dsection-sonpanier\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
3 \u2013 Teach him his basket<\/strong>.<\/h3>\nThe basket is his sanctuary. It\u2019s where he can rest, relax, and have some privacy if he needs it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important that this place remains associated with calm and security. A puppy should not be disturbed when he\u2019s in his basket, and children should also respect this space.<\/p>\n
To teach him to go there, simply:
\nPlace a small treat or kibble in his basket. When he goes in, praise him gently. Let him come out freely.<\/p>\n
Repeat this exercise several times. Place another kibble to encourage him to return. Gradually, he will understand that his basket is a pleasant and safe place.<\/p>\n
Never force him to go in. The goal is for him to go there on his own, with complete confidence.<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf19 The First Nights
\nThe first few nights can be unsettling for a puppy who has just left its mother and siblings. It may cry or seek company: this is normal.<\/p>\n
Place its bed in a reassuring location, perhaps near your bedroom at first if you feel it\u2019s necessary. Your calm voice and your presence will help it feel safe.<\/p>\n
However, avoid automatically bringing it into your bed if it cries, unless it\u2019s a deliberate choice you intend to maintain long-term. Consistency is key.<\/p>\n
An object with the breeder\u2019s scent or a piece of fabric with your scent can also soothe it.<\/p>\n
With patience, consistency, and a reassuring environment, the puppy will quickly find its rhythm and learn to sleep peacefully through the night.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d1560\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*400\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-2\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_id=\u201dsection-fairesesbesoins\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
4 \u2013 teach him to to pee and poo outside<\/strong><\/h3>\nHouse training requires consistency, patience, and a lot of kindness.<\/p>\n
To help your puppy understand, it\u2019s essential to take him out at key times of the day:<\/p>\n
upon waking (as soon as you get up, even before your coffee),<\/p>\n
after each meal,<\/p>\n
after naps,<\/p>\n
after playtime or any period of excitement.<\/p>\n
These times naturally correspond to the puppy\u2019s physiological needs.<\/p>\n
Outside, choose a quiet spot and give him time to sniff around. As soon as he relieves himself, praise him warmly with your voice. He needs to associate the action with something positive.<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s an accident in the house, don\u2019t scold him. Clean it up without comment. He\u2019s never \u201cguilty\u201d: he\u2019s simply learning.<\/p>\n
With regular outings, encouragement, and a stable routine, your puppy will gradually understand what you expect of him.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3386\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-1\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_id=\u201dsection-mordiller\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
5- Teach him to be alone<\/strong><\/h3>\nLearning to stay alone is essential for your puppy\u2019s well-being. This is taught gradually, starting from the very first days.<\/p>\n
Begin with very short absences: just a few minutes. Leave the room without making a fuss, then return calmly, without excessive excitement.<\/p>\n
Both your departure and your return should remain neutral. If you dramatize the moment, your puppy will understand that separation is a special event.<\/p>\n
Gradually increase the duration of your absences. The progression should be gentle and adapted to your puppy\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n
You can leave him a safe, engaging toy so he associates your absence with a positive and calm experience.<\/p>\n
Avoid leaving when he is very excited. Wait until he is relaxed, or even already settled in his bed.<\/p>\n
If he cries slightly at first, give him time to settle down. Intervening immediately could reinforce his anxiety. However, if the anxiety persists, you will need to slow down the pace of the training.<\/p>\n
The goal is for him to understand that you leave\u2026 but that you always come back.<\/p>\n
6 \u2013teach him not to nibble on you<\/strong><\/h3>\nNipping is a natural behavior for puppies. They explore the world with their mouths and, with their siblings, they learned to play by nipping at each other.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important not to scold him. He\u2019s not trying to hurt you; he\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n
However, he needs to understand that your hand isn\u2019t a toy.<\/p>\n
When you pet him and he doesn\u2019t nip, praise him gently. He needs to associate the calm touch with something positive.<\/p>\n
If he tries to nip, immediately remove your hand, saying a soft \u201couch\u201d or \u201cno\u201d in a firm but calm voice. Then briefly stop interacting. He\u2019ll understand that playtime ends when he nips.<\/p>\n
Then resume the exercise gently. Repetition and consistency are key.<\/p>\n
You can also offer him a suitable chew toy to redirect his natural urge to chew.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d3453\u2033 img_size=\u201d400*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=\u201d5rem\u201d][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d1033\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d1036\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d1038\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-2\u2033][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_id=\u201dsection-betises\u201d][vc_column_inner width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
6 \u2013<\/strong>\u201cfoolery\u201d<\/h3>\nA puppy naturally needs to chew. For him, it\u2019s not naughty: he\u2019s exploring, discovering, and relieving himself (especially during teething). He doesn\u2019t yet know what\u2019s allowed or forbidden.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s up to you to teach him, with patience and consistency.<\/p>\n
He needs to understand that he can chew and handle his toys, but not your personal belongings.<\/p>\n
Using a toy box is very helpful. It allows him to clearly identify what belongs to him.<\/p>\n
If he starts chewing on a shoe or an inappropriate object, don\u2019t yell. Calmly remove the object and immediately offer him a suitable toy. Encourage him when he shows interest.<\/p>\n
Then let him play quietly.<\/p>\n
With repetition, he will gradually understand where he can direct his natural need to chew.<\/p>\n
Redirect rather than punish.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d1337\u2033 img_size=\u201d400*500\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-1\u2033 el_id=\u201dsection-social-prevention\u201d][vc_column width=\u201d2\/3\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 Take him out to socialise.<\/strong><\/h3>\nSocialization is an essential step for your puppy\u2019s well-being and future stability.<\/p>\n
At home, he has already begun to explore his environment: family members, other dogs present, possibly other animals, and everyday noises.<\/p>\n
But the outside world is different.<\/p>\n
For safety and hygiene reasons (until his vaccinations are complete), your puppy is not yet familiar with parks, the city, busy streets, strangers, or dogs and animals he doesn\u2019t usually encounter.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to gradually introduce him to these new environments.<\/p>\n
Expose him to different sounds (cars, bicycles, strollers), people of all ages, and various situations, always in a positive and reassuring way. Experiences should be short, calm, and age-appropriate.<\/p>\n
Never force him if he seems anxious. Stay close, speak to him softly, and let him observe at his own pace.<\/p>\n
Every positive experience builds confidence and prevents future fears.<\/p>\n
A well-socialized puppy grows into a balanced, calm, and adaptable adult dog.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u201d2rem\u201d][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
8 \u2013 Prevention: vaccines and anti-parasites<\/h3>\n
Prevention is essential for the long-term health of your puppy.<\/p>\n
The first vaccination and microchip implantation are performed by my veterinarian around 8 weeks of age. A booster is given at 3 months and then at 4 months to ensure effective protection against major diseases.<\/p>\n
Therefore, an annual booster will be required on the anniversary of the initial vaccination.<\/p>\n
In addition, regular parasite treatment is essential.<\/p>\n
Worming
\nThe puppy must be dewormed regularly:<\/p>\n
up to 2 months: according to the protocol established by the veterinarian,<\/p>\n
from 2 to 6 months: once a month,<\/p>\n
after 6 months: every 3 months.<\/p>\n
As an adult, it is recommended to deworm approximately 3 to 4 times a year, depending on their lifestyle.<\/p>\n
External parasites
\nIt is also important to protect your dog against fleas, ticks, and other external parasites. Your veterinarian can advise you on the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n
Regular preventative care helps avoid many illnesses and contributes to your pet\u2019s comfort.<\/p>\n
Monitor the following daily:<\/p>\n
their appetite,
\nenergy level,
\nstool consistency,
\nand the condition of their eyes, ears, and teeth.
\nAny change in behavior (lethargy, persistent diarrhea, repeated vomiting, loss of appetite) should prompt you to consult a veterinarian promptly.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u201d2rem\u201d][vc_btn title=\u201dVaccines \u2013 illnesses \u2013 antiparasitics\u201d i_icon_fontawesome=\u201dfar fa-hand-point-right\u201d add_icon=\u201dtrue\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pomsdelalezardiere.fr%2Fen%2Fnew-products%2Fvaccines-and-illnesses%2F|title:Vaccines%20and%20illnesses|target:%20_blank|\u201d][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u201d1\/3\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d577\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*400\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][vc_empty_space height=\u201d3rem\u201d][vc_single_image image=\u201d588\u2033 img_size=\u201d500*400\u2033 alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=\u201dstretch_row\u201d equal_height=\u201dyes\u201d content_placement=\u201dmiddle\u201d el_class=\u201dbg-color-2\u2033][vc_column width=\u201d1\/2\u2033][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
