Bringing home a new puppy or even an order dog is an important family occasion. Everyone wants to touch, hold and stroke the new member of the family, especially the children. But it is important to take things slowly and gently. In the case of a puppy, this will be the first time away from the only environment the puppy has known and away from his mother and litter mates. The world is huge and frightening for him. Bring him home when there are not too many people around, and introduce him to him to his new environment in as relaxed a manner as possible. Let him look and sniff around, offer him a little something to eat which he probably won”t accept and allow him to roam around freely in the house. Bring your family and friends to meet the dog one or two at a time and give him time to make friends before introducing anyone else. You must remember that the puppy expects love from you and nothing else. Hence, your approach to it should be such that the puppy feels confident that its life is well-secured in your household. The other little newcomer develops confidence about each member. Once the setting in process has begun, interrupt the dog’s established routine as little as possible. For a puppy, follow the breeder’ s feeding regime, giving the same number of feeds at the same time each day make any dietary changes gradually.
Some things you need to care for your dog OR Puppy

Water and Feed Bowls:

1.) Clean water should always be available for the dog/pup.
2.) Water bowls should be full and washed regularly.
3.) Most dogs spill more water around the bowl than they swallow. So choose the site for the water-bowl carefully.
4.) Never add another meal without first cleaning the bowl.
5.) The water bowl should be made of non-rust metal.
6.) The bowl should be heavy, so that the dog does not pick it up and carry it around like a toy.
7.) Feed bowls may be much the same as water bowls, with the same idea-the dog should not regard the bowl as a toy.

Beds And Bedding:

1.) The new dog’s bed is very important-the bed is the dog,s own special place.
2.) It is important to introduce the dog to his bed as soon as he arrives and to insist that the bed is where he sleeps.
To make sure the dog uses his bed, shut him into a bedroom on the first night with nothing else to a choose for a comfortable sleep but the bed.
3.) Young puppies start crying at night. Cuddle it and let it sleep in your arms and then put him on his bed.
4.) The bedding should be made of synthetic material as it is offer .

Toys And Dogs:

1.) Toys are important, whatever the age of the dog, but particularly for a young puppy. During teething, pups like to bite. So for their comfort, give them toys.
2.) No toy should be given to a pup which can be chewed or which may hurt his mouth.
3.) Balls, plastic bones and rings are some of the popular toys.
