Ivy is 6 weeks today. They’re constantly playing and are about to graduate from the nursery room in about a week. She’s more outgoing than her brother and definitely takes better candid pics than photoshoot pictures. She’s on hold while I evaluate her for our breeding program.

NEW PUPPY OWNERS…….

As puppies head to their new homes I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.

Realistic Expectations

You see the breeders pictures and videos and The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed, happy, playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country. You know only a few words of their language. Different trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS sometimes even Longer! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!

- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over

- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy

- set up a good routine

- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them

- don’t expect an 11-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you

- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment

- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic

- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input

-Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on puppy at all times when around children.

- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment.

Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.

So story time. I met this girl many years ago (I think she was 10 at the time.) at the vet of all places. I was bringing pups to have their tails done. I have a snuggle sack I bring them in and there was this girl with her mom crying! I knew, deep down, why she was crying. But in the midst of that she glanced over and asked me if I had a snake (I understood the confusion, they were in a sack). I glanced over, smiled and said, “No, they’re Yorkie puppies, would you like to see them?” She smiled and nodded and I said “just no touching. They’re only a couple of days old.” So we sat and she told me about her dog that she rescued that had an enlarged heart. I listened as only a true dog lover can. With empathy. After they went back to see their mom and the vet took my bundle of puppies. A few minutes later I caught her mom alone (I didn’t want to ask in front of the daughter) and said “would you like a Yorkie? She’s an adult and retired.” Her mom said she would think about it so I wrote my number down and handed it to her. Now keep in mind I bought this girl as an adult. I co-owned her. She had to have a c-section and spay. She had 3 puppies. I owed the co-owner 1 puppy (or the cost of 1). I made absolutely nothing on this. I was actually in the red as far as this girl went. But when the mom called me that night they came to look at her and the daughter fell in love. (Rest in comments)
