Make sure that you also remove climbable objects near the fence, as these can provide an escape route!
Do this room by room to avoid overwhelming him or her. Allow your dog/puppy to explore the house slowly, initially using a lead.Do not allow your dog/puppy to have free roam of all areas in the house straight away.A small house can seem big to a new dog, especially a puppy.Keep all toilet lids closed to prevent the dog/puppy from drinking from the toilets or falling in.If you do not want something chewed, put it away!.Remove hanging wires, cords or electrical cables that your dog or puppy could chew or get tangled in.Ensure the room is quiet, secure, a comfortable warm temperature and well-ventilated.Keep puppies in one room for the first day or two (a tiled bathroom or laundry is ideal but make sure the puppy has plenty of warm comfy bedding and that the room is not cold).Provide water, toys and a feeding area.Set up a space with a bed, crate or blankets.Using a towel or old jumper with your scent on it can help your dog to bond with you. Make sure you have an old towel or blanket in case the dog is nervous, as this may cause him/her to urinate or vomit. If the dog/puppy is young or small they may sit on a passenger’s lap in the back seat but should still be restrained by a harness. Dogs/puppies should be restrained by a safety harness or travel in a crate, regardless of their size. Taking your new dog/puppy home is exciting, but a car journey might be a completely new experience for him/her.
