PUPPY CARE
We've put together a few tips to get your puppy started off right.
SIT!
We think the most important thing you can teach your puppy – starting the minute the puppy comes home – is SIT. This is the easiest thing to teach and most of our low-cost English Bulldog puppies on offer go home knowing it. You simply push the puppy’s bottom down and say SIT. When they do, you say GOOD SIT and praise them. Do this a few times and they will learn what a SIT is.
Tell your puppy to SIT before you put the food/water down. Tell your puppy to SIT before you pet or give any affection, when you let your puppy out of the crate, etc. Before anything, your puppy has to SIT. What you are doing is teaching your puppy to be mannerly and greet people sitting. You have taught the puppy that nothing good comes when you jump on us but when you sit, you get lots of praise and/or treats.
OBEDIENCE CLASSES
Start shopping for obedience classes in your area. Find a trainer that uses positive reinforcement and comes recommended. This will be the most important thing you can do for your relationship with your puppy. The puppy and everyone in the family will benefit. We’ve heard good things from our customers about THE BUDDY SYSTEM Dog Training, they are available in the USA only.
PUPPY PROOFING
As with children, you will likely want to puppy proof your house. Part of it is to keep the pup safe, and the rest is to keep your stuff safe from the pup. Puppies chew things , Our puppies come with some few playing toys they are familiar with , most of the toys are gotten from SodaPuP , they have cheap and very interactive puppy toys. Everything below four feet is fair game. Expect it and prepare for it. One of the best solutions is to offer a wide variety of puppy safe chew products all over each accessible floor in the house. If the pup is going to chew, you might as well control what he/she is chewing. Supervise your puppy at all times. Use child proof locks to keep substances like pesticides, meds, cleaning products, plants, etc locked up in cabinets and away from your puppy. When puppies are young, even rawhide strips and greenies can be dangerous, never give these to your puppy unsupervised.
Avoid heat stroke and don’t leave puppies or dogs in the car. Puppies and dogs should never be left alone around water or pools. They can drown in a matter of seconds. You should teach your puppy how to swim and how to find the steps to get out of the pool. Most puppies can swim but need to be able to find the stairs to get out.
VET APPOINTMENT
Make an appointment with your Vet for a new puppy wellness check. Your puppy will not need any vaccinations at this appointment but it’s good to establish a relationship with your Vet and the pupp
