Top things to remember when you bring your puppy home

#1 Education - Read the McDoodles forum and the list of books we recommend below. There are some smart shortcuts to training and living with dogs that are available in books and videos. Each hour you spend in preparation; will save you ten in training.

#2 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. 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 is chewing.

Use child proof locks to keep substances like pesticides, meds, cleaning products, plants, etc locked up in cabinets and away from your pup.

When pups are very young, even rawhide strips can be dangerous, never give these to your puppy unsupervised.

Avoid heat stroke and don't leave pups or dogs locked in cars.

Puppies 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 if they are unable to find the stairs to get out, they can drown. Click here for more information on pool and water safety! The information you read on this page could save your puppies/dog's life.

#3 Potty training - gate off an area with the potty door in it. Use the same door every time you take your puppy out. Hang the bells on the door and ring them, with their foot. We say "Go Out" or "Potty Outside", it doesn't matter, just be consistent. Watch your puppy constantly!! If you are consistent and you WATCH, they can be totally house trained in under 2 weeks.

#4 Crate training - continue with the foundation we have started for you. Use the crate at night and for naps during the day when you can not watch your puppy. The crate will also help with potty training, your puppy does not want to soil her crate and will learn to "hold it."

#5 SIT - push the puppies bottom down and say SIT, GOOD GIRL/BOY, they will soon 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. This is one of the most important things you can teach your puppy. Start the day the puppy comes home.

#6 Leash Training - go ahead and attach the leash to your new puppy, right away and let the puppy drag it around. This will help your puppy get used to the feel of it. Gradually begin picking it up and encouraging him/her to follow you.

#7 NO BITE - Every time your puppy touches you with teeth, say NO BITE, and mean it! Your puppy will probably stop and begin licking you instead, tell her GOOD GIRL/BOY, GOOD KISSES.

#8 Vet Appointment - Make appointment with Vet for new puppy wellness check up.

#10 Obedience classes - Start shopping for Obedience classes in your area.

#11 Health Risks of Parvo - You should not allow your puppy to be out in high risk public places - dog parks, pet stores, rest stops, doggy day care, kennels - until after the Parvo vaccinations have been completed, 16 weeks/4-months. You should wait at least 2 weeks after the last booster. Speak to your Vet about the risk in your area. If Parvo is not an issue in your area, you won't have to be so strict. Don't be afraid to socialize your puppy! This is a great article that is a must read for new puppy owners - Socialization Tips - Click Here!

#12 Crate training - We begin crate training at 3 weeks. We start by leaving a crate in with the puppies with no door. They love to pile in and sleep together. As they grow, we introduce a second crate and this time we leave the doors on. We start by closing them in for 10-15 minutes at a time, before gradually working up to 4-6 hours at night. We send our puppy’s home with the crate we train them in.

We take the water away between 5-6 pm. The last time out is around 11 pm. Once your puppy is asleep, if s/he wakes wakes up crying in the middle of the night, s/he probably has to go out. You should take the puppy out, say "go potty" or any cue but be consistent, when he/she does, it's directly back in the crate. Let them know that middle of the night trips is all business. No playtime, no drinking etc.

We recommend you use the crate we supply for the first few weeks. It's small, confined and familiar - which allows the crate to be your puppy's safe place. We also recommend a 42" or 48" wire crate as the permanent crate. Make sure the crate has a divider. You will want to section off a small space in the beginning, just large enough for your puppy to stand up, turn around and lay down in. You can put a blanket around the crate to make it feel more like a den. Puppies, by nature, prefer to be clean and will not lay where they have had an accident. This makes the crate an invaluable training tool, as it is safer for your puppy to be crated than unsupervised.

Teaching the puppy to sleep in the crate and not soil it, is an intensive and exhaustive task. We do more than just introduce your puppy to a crate. We actually train your puppy to sleep in its own crate through the night. The early days of this process are the most difficult. We have implemented a system that slowly teaches your puppy to enjoy being in the crate without soiling it. This makes for many sleepless nights on our part. We feel this early head start to crate training makes the transition to your home less stressful for the puppy and you! Our puppy owners are worth this extra effort.

"YOUR ONE STOP DOODLE SHOP"

Katie - owner of Jonah's Toy Box, is one of our puppy owners. Jonah is her Goldendoodle. Katie put together 2 kits for our new puppy owners. Everything we recommend on this page except the crate, dog food and vitamins you can get at one store, Jonah's toy box. This will save you money in shipping and time going from online store to online store buying one item. Katie took our recommended supply list and made the kits. It is truly a "One Stop Doodle Shop!" :)

#13 Goldendoodle ear care - Ear care is very important! The number one reason dogs visited a Vet last year was ear infections. This is not Doodle specific but with all dogs. We use the DermaPet Malacetic Otic Ear/Skin Cleanser weekly and after every bath, swim and groomer appointment. Order online or purchase at your Vet's office. You can read more about proper ear care here. Goldendoodles are floppy eared dogs - which doesn't allow air flow to the ears. It's very important to keep their ears dry and clean. Don't be afraid to let them swim! Just make sure you use this product or another drying solution afterwards. We have learned being proactive with ear care will save you lots of trips to the Vet. This is included in our kit at Jonah's toy box.

#14 Trained to the Bell -

Poochie-Bells work! Hang them on the door you let your puppy out. Every time you take the puppy out, say 'potty outside' and ring the bell with one of the puppies paws. At first you will take them out often. For the first week or two they should be let out:

·         when they wake up

·         after they eat

·         after they drink

·         if they start to sniff and circle

·         every 20 minutes or so while they are awake

·         before and after they are crated

Thankfully puppies sleep a lot. But the trick is to let them understand that outside is for relieving themselves. It's a new concept for them - but if it's clear, then they will understand what they need to do. The less accidents they have, the faster they learn. It takes some dogs only a few days to learn to ring the bell to ask to go out. (And for a while there, you're trained to the bell, because they go often - but it's worth it in the long run.)

As pet parents, we know that our companion animals depend solely upon us for their nutritional intake. And since good nutrition is important for our pets to live a long and healthy life, it is important to choose a nutrient-rich treat that can be a part of your pet’s overall diet. To fill this need, we’ve created numerous treats for your dog.

Unfortunately, the majority of treats on the market today depend solely upon clever packaging and advertising campaigns to attract consumers’ attention, diverting it from the actual ingredients. Many treats contain leftover cereals and other ingredients that are good for profits, rather than the health of your dog. Often, artificial coloring and chemical preservatives are included to maintain freshness, as these mass-produced treats typically spend months stored in warehouses before finally being stocked in your local grocery. And many treats contain wheat flour, soy flour, dextrose, BHA, propylene Glycol, high fructose corn syrup, and garlic. These products are known to be hard to digest and some can have potentially harmful effects.

Thankfully, there are healthy and delicious options for rewarding your furry companions.

HealthyPetNet strives to provide treats that provide crucial nutrients, without adding any chemical preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, nutritionally empty fillers or “leftovers”. Our baked treats are made in a bakery in small batches, so your dog will always enjoy the freshest snacks possible.

Treat your canine companion to the nutritious, all-natural and healthy snacks made by HealthyPetNet. They’ll thank you with every tail wag! CLICK HERE TO ORDER TREATS!

#16 Vitamins -

NuVet scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals." Free radicals have been implicated in more than fifty health problems in humans and animals including various forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts and premature aging.
