Preparing for A New Puppy's Arrival
- 05/10/2013
Bringing a new puppy home is a very exciting experience. However it's very important to prepare for the new puppy's arrival as you would prepare for bringing a newborn baby home. Chances are that your new puppy is not housebroken nor is he trained to know what behavior is permissible. Curiosity is also very common at his age and could put him in dangerous situations. Certain items like wire dog crates, dog crate beds and crate covers can make the transition period safer for your new pet and more rewarding for all involved.
Wire dog crates are commonly used in housebreaking dogs. Crate training is very effective; many dogs are trained within a week or two while some may take a little longer, depending on the puppy's personality. Crates also provide your little one with a safe and secure place to rest. Often times, the crate becomes a comfort zone and a dog will retreat to it even when not required.
Dog crate beds enhance a puppy's experience while in the crate. They give the puppy a comfortable and cozy place to sleep. If the puppy feels good about resting on his favorite bed, he will have no problem spending time in the crate when necessary, making life easier for the family and the new addition.
Crate covers can help tremendously in getting a puppy acclimated to his new environment. Sometimes a puppy can get anxious when inside the crate, and a cover can do a lot in calming the little guy or gal down. Crate covers provide the puppy with a safe, secure feeling while making the crate a warm and inviting place for your puppy to relax. Crate covers also add to a room's décor.
A dog collar and leash is also a must for walking a puppy or taking him to the veterinarian for his check-ups. And don't forget puppy food and a few toys for your new friend. The new toys will help keep him entertained when you are unable to play with him.
While you shop for these items, you may find that purchasing each one of these items separately can get costly. There are puppy packages on the market that include just about everything a person needs to integrate a new puppy successfully into a home. The PSUSA Complete Puppy Package is available for male or female dogs and it is available at a great price. This particular package includes a wire dog crate,a dog crate bed, two stainless steel bowls, a puppy collar & leash, a puppy kong, dingo rawhides, shampoo and a brush. Food and crate covers are sold separately.
Bringing a new puppy into the family is not unlike welcoming a new baby. These puppies require love and attention, plus they need to be provided with items that can help them adjust easily to their new home. Wire dog crates, dog crate beds and crate covers will make for a smooth transition for both owner and puppy.
