Here’s a list of the top questions new puppy owners often ask.
1. How do I house-train my puppy?
House-training requires consistency and patience. Take your puppy outside frequently, especially after meals or naps. Reward them with praise or treats when they go in the right spot. Avoid punishment for accidents—redirect them instead.
2. How do I stop my puppy from biting or chewing?
Puppies explore the world with their mouths. Provide plenty of chew toys and redirect them when they bite inappropriate items. Avoid encouraging rough play that involves biting.
3. What should I feed my puppy, and how often?
Feed your puppy a high-quality, age-appropriate diet. Puppies usually need 3-4 small meals a day. Follow the feeding guidelines on the food packaging and consult your vet for advice.
4. How do I socialise my puppy?
Expose your puppy to various people, pets, and environments during their early weeks. Positive experiences help them grow into confident, well-behaved dogs. Puppy classes can also be a great way to socialise.
5. When should I start training my puppy?
Start training as soon as you bring your puppy home. Begin with basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” Use positive reinforcement techniques such as treats and praise.
6. How much exercise does my puppy need?
Puppies need short, frequent play sessions rather than long walks. A general rule is 5 minutes of exercise per month of age, twice a day. Avoid over-exercising young puppies to protect their growing joints.
7. What should I do if my puppy cries at night?
Puppies may cry at night as they adjust to their new home. Provide a comfortable, safe sleeping area and consider placing their bed near yours. A ticking clock or soft toy can help soothe them.
8. How do I introduce my puppy to other pets?
Introduce your puppy to other pets gradually and in a controlled environment. Supervise their interactions and ensure both animals feel safe. Reward calm, positive behaviour from both sides.
9. will my puppy be microchipped
Yes you puppy will be microchipped before leave in accordance to the law that came in 2016.
