It’s important to have your house setup and your supplies for your new addition ready before bringing your puppy home. In this section, we will talk about what supplies are needed, what supplies aren’t really necessary and where they should be situated in your home.

The next section discusses Gotcha Day, the day you bring home your new puppy. This includes the car ride home, introducing to new family members, showing them their new house and yard as well as how to tell if your puppy is confident and happy. These first introductions are critical in building the life-long friendships that a dog can bring to your family.

This is also the time when new habits are being learned, we’ll talk about how to make sure that your new puppy is learning good habits instead of problem behaviors that will need to be fixed later on.
