What we recommend when driving your puppy home:

If you are driving your puppy home we recommend the following for the drive home:

A travel crate for the ride home

Old towels or blankets to place in his crate to keep him warm and help him feel more comfortable. If you'd like us to rub one or two on his litter-mate, let us know. The smell often makes him adjust to the crate easier.

A water dish in case he/she needs a drink during the ride home. However, we don't recommend this unless the drive is more than about two hours. Also, unless the drive home is more than four or five hours, please don't feed him until you get home as he/she may get car sick and/or have to go potty..........

Items to have on hand in preparation for the big Go Home Day:

The First Few Days at Home:

Just a little advice on what to plan for and expect for the first few days living in your home:

The first few days can be quite stressful for your new puppy, as everything is a change for him! He will already be weaned off of his mother, but will still be very used to sleeping with his littermates so will be a little lonely and likely cry at night when in his crate. Expect this for the first two to three nights, the first night of course being the worst. If after he falls asleep for a while, he wakes up again and starts to cry, he probably needs to go potty. When you take him out to go potty, keep it all business, NO playing or praise whatsoever. If it's no fun to get up in the middle of the night, he'll soon decide it's not worth it and just sleep through the night for you. However, if you make it fun, he'll look forward to that special playtime and continue to wake up to play at 3 a.m. for months! Remember, you're the responsible one and have to make the rules. If you let him call the shots, he will and they likely won't be what you have in mind.

Congratulations on your decision to adopt a test Puppy!!
