Preparing for the New Puppy! Hint: If you are saving up newspapers for when you bring your new puppy home, toss out all the slick ones they are not absorbent and pups slip and slide in the tub vs. the white pages which work real well during the still goin on paper phase, right after bringing the puppy home.. Over the next few weeks they can begin going outdoors too, then it wont be long till they are used to your home & being crated at night ( we advise you how to go about this when you pick up your puppy & you can also learn about this process by following our Tips pages!) , but at first it is great to have a few stacks of papers on hand ! ( we also love it when folks think to bring some to us.. we are always appreciative of those ! You can only imagine how much paper we go through each day as our little ones learn to go over on the paper.) One gal brought a box with some wee wee pads when she came to board her Sunshine beagle with us .. boy did we appreciate those to hand to each person who was driving home far away with a little pup in the car..(makes it easier to have those on the floorboard than having to pit stop the minute the puppy wines to get out to go..) LOL ! we ran out, but sure would love more if anyone has some left their pet no longer uses !
When picking up your puppy by car its
suggested to bring a cardboard box with papers in it or wee wee pads for
the floorboards work well when and if needed . Also we often hand
out a Clorox wipes bottle those are handy if needed too !! Some folks
start out with their new puppy on their lap , or in a crate with plenty
of toys and chew toys or treats to play with .
We also advise folks to go directly to the spot in their yard where they want the puppy to "Go Hurry UP" , and put it from the car on the grass or ground there.. let it sniff around and just stay out of its reach as you walk around... soon enough it will decide to go since it was cooped up in the car and likely hasn't yet.. and you make a big deal out of saying good hurry up in a praise voice !! and give it kisses ! before long it will be thinking "they must like it when i go here... I want to go back to the same spot and remark it again ... and get all that praise again" .. we give plenty of tips on this and all the phases involved in taking home a new puppy from us so it is a wonderful and easy transition for all members of the family bringing in one of our babies to your home. Be sure to follow our advice/guidelines, and follow-up on any of the pointers for having one of our intelligent little sunshine acres beagles join your family as a companion for the next 15 years!
