Yeay!! We're picking up our new addition today and I can't wait!! It feels like it's been years waiting...
I'm quite nervous and not sure how everything's gonna go and keep going into cold sweats that I'm making the biggest mistake ever...any last minute tips!?
Get him into a routine as soon as you can, give him some time to have a good look around at his new home when you get back with him, don't let others pester him too much for now, LET HIM REST occasionally, make household rules, i.e. if he is in his crate, he is not to be disturbed, don't allow people to feed him titbits from their plates etc. Give him a name!!!
oooohhhh how exciting!!!!! I'm so jealous i would love another! The only advice i would give is be consistent from the start. Agree what the boundaries are and stick to them! I decided i wouldn't let pud up on the couch (mean mum i know!!!) and stuck to it - he has never tried to get up apart from occassionally putting his front paws on me but just sees it as not for him!
Oh wonderful!!!!! What a happy day! Great advice already given and I second it all! Yes photos, photos and did I mention photos? Consistence, perseverance, socialization, praise the good and enjoy every sinlge minute! x
