Unlike a baby, however, your little four-legged friend will immediately start exploring the house too, which is why it is very important to make the house "puppy-proof" beforehand!
And certainly don't forget about the garden in the process. At puppy level, this means
- No wires
- No socks/slippers on the floor
- No poisonous plants
- No valuables
- No food
Besides these practical matters, it is also important to agree on certain rules and do's and don’ts with the family before the arrival of the little four-legged friend. Dogs like clarity, structure and regularity. Being consistent from day 1 will give your pup comfort and will only strengthen the bond between you.
