5. The First 2 weeks
THE FIRST 2 WEEKS
Exciting day. Entire family and neighbours want to touch him and watch him. No time for sleep. But it is frightening for the new puppy. Separated from his litter mates or normal routine. Surrounded by strangers. Best to put him inside the cage and let him rest. Give him food, water and chew toys for the first 2 days.
If you have children, explain to them that it needs quiet time to get used to the new home. Stress --> Kennel cough. Watery diarrhoea.
Discourage young children less than 10 from holding the puppy for the first week.
Teach them how to pick up and handle the puppy.
