Title: Planning to Get a Puppy? Here’s How to Make Their First Night a Success!

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting moment for the whole family. But remember, while we’re all thrilled about the new addition, your puppy’s whole world is changing in a big way. It’s important to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the very first night.

Here are some tips from Cornish Dog School to ensure your puppy settles in smoothly:

Preparation is Everything
Before your puppy arrives, make sure you’re fully set up. Crates, beds, water bowls, and baby gates (if needed) should be ready to go. Make sure you have a good supply of the food they’re used to so you can avoid any upset stomachs. Ask the breeder what treats they like too—you’ll need plenty for early training!

First Stop: The Toilet Area
As soon as your puppy arrives, take them to their designated toilet spot. They’ll likely need to go after the excitement and travel. Be patient, though—it’s a new place, and they might need time to get comfortable. When they do go, give them a treat to start their toilet training off right.

Let Them Rest
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but remember that puppies need a lot of sleep! Growing is hard work, and they’ll need regular naps. Set up comfortable spots in the rooms they’ll spend time in, and let them rest when they need it. If they’re particularly energetic, you may even need to schedule some nap times to keep things balanced.

Building Trust Takes Time
Your puppy doesn’t know you or your home yet, so take things slow. Gentle handling, calm voices, and positive experiences will help them build trust with their new family. Avoid overwhelming them with too many new faces or loud noises, and teach children to treat the puppy with care. These early interactions will help form a strong, lasting bond.

Keep Things Familiar
Stick to a routine similar to what your puppy has been used to—it helps them feel secure in a new environment. You can always adjust the schedule later, but for now, a bit of consistency will go a long way in helping your puppy settle in.

Reward the Good
As you get to know each other, remember to reward positive behaviors. Puppies don’t know what’s right or wrong yet, so it’s up to us to guide them patiently. The more you encourage the behavior you want to see, the more they’ll repeat it.

The first few nights with your new puppy might feel challenging, but with a little planning, patience, and plenty of care, you’ll be setting the stage for a happy, well-adjusted dog.

In passing there intermediate Match ID

🐶🐶What is Scent Match ID🐶🐶

Is a fun and rewarding matching game.

In this activity, dogs learn to recognize unique human scents using fabric items like gloves that carry a person's scent. It also helps improve the dog's memory by first showing them the scent and then asking them to find the matching scent from a line-up. This game provides mental stimulation and strengthens the bond between the dog and their handler.

The human scent line-up method, used with dogs since the early 20th century,

This skill can progress to advanced applications such as search and rescue missions, the man trailing sport, and security dog training. Additionally, it can also be fun for pets, providing mental stimulation, exercise, and a sense of accomplishment. Engaging in scent-based activities strengthens the bond between dogs and their owners, keeps dogs mentally sharp, and taps into their natural instincts, making it an enjoyable and rewarding experience for them.
