For the precautions when a dog comes to a new home
01
Best time to bring a dog home
Having enough holidays and daytime can help you better deal with the dog’s adaptation problems.
1,Time planning before arrival
When bringing a dog home, try to choose a holiday to ensure that after the dog comes home, you have sufficient and continuous time to interact. Accompanying it to familiarize itself with the environment can greatly alleviate the dog’s tension and anxiety.
2,Outdoor activities to prepare for the night
There is enough time to buffer from day to night, allowing the dog to fully feel and exercise, strengthen the affinity with the owner, consume energy, and make it feel more at ease in the new home environment. At night, it can also enter a rest state better due to the fatigue during the day.

Home environment design: Prepare for good habits
A good home environment design helps the dog learn the house rules, which is the key to your happy life in the future.
If good habits are not established at the beginning, some behaviors that may trouble you may be developed in the future, such as defecating anywhere, and treating furniture as toys for destruction.
Use fences to appropriately restrict the dog’s range of activities and ways, prevent the dog from making mistakes from the first day, and save the trouble of correcting them in the future. Pre-set the position of the dog house and toilet, teach the dog to defecate correctly, and allow biting behavior and rest space.
The two most important trainings for a dog to come home are fixed-point defecation and biting training. The most common reasons for dogs being abandoned are also due to these two behavioral problems.
Specific training methods can be obtained by clicking below:
1,Say it clearly once, fixed-point toilet training
2,Biting training that does not allow dogs to tear down the house
3,Go home on the first night and give it a safe little space
If the new dog has a howling without a sense of security, you can let the dog into the room, but each owner’s living habits and the permitted behavior for dogs are different. Ask your family if they are willing to let the dog into the room or bed. If these are not allowed, open the door and put a fence at the door of the room, so that the dog can see you at night, try to give the dog a sense of security, and let it spend the strange night smoothly.

Spend the first day with low stimulation
On the first day the dog returns home, the mood is definitely nervous, try to reduce the stimulation of strange things, and reduce the possibility of the dog being uncomfortable.
1,Reduce environmental stimulation
As mentioned earlier, letting dogs exercise outdoors helps dogs rest at night. The environment chosen for going out should not be too stimulating. Too many cars, people, or dogs can make it more nervous. Some quieter parks or streets are more suitable for dogs.
2,Reduce food stimulation
Try to feed according to the previous eating habits of the dog to avoid the dog’s nervous emotions, coupled with unfamiliarity with food, causing discomfort in the stomach and intestines, leading to the need to deal with the dog’s physical health problems when returning home.
