There are some essential things to consider when caring for a new puppy. First, research the breed you are interested in to help ensure that it is a good fit for your lifestyle. Having supplies ready such as food, water, puppy training pads and a crate will make life much easier. Spend quality time with your pup and make sure to socialize him/her so they become used to different situations and people at an early age. And be prepared for a large amount of love and kisses - plus frequent potty breaks! Training is essential and having patience as well as setting up reasonable boundaries will help ensure success with obedience. With consistency, positive reinforcement works best when teaching any new behaviors. Make sure you have plenty of outlets available if needed where they can run off some of their natural energy like walks or trips to the dog park. Provide safe chewtoys and give ample attention; however don't forget to spend time with other members of the family as puppies can overwhelm especially smaller children or elderly visitors . Lastly do not forget veterinary care; take them in regularly scheduled checkups along with any necessary shots or treatments recommended by vet staff!
