" The Obama&amp;#039;s Portugese water dog, Bo, is settling into the presidential quarters this week, according to dsc.discovery.com. The White House will be the 6-month-old puppy&amp;#039;s fourth home. Texas-born Bo (originally named Amigo&amp;#039;s New Hope, and &amp;quot;Charlie&amp;quot; by his first owner in D.C.) spent a few months with Sen. Edward Kennedy&amp;#039;s dog trainer in Virginia before landing at 1600 Penn Ave.  Cesar Millan, host of &amp;quot;The Dog Whisperer&amp;quot; offers the Obamas a little advice on orienting the new pooch: 1. During the first three days, he explains, there should be a lot of walking involved; focus on establishing a routine to help the dog calm down, rather than comforting him and using his name a lot, Millan explains.  2. Allow him to build up a hunger before he&amp;#039;s given food; it helps him to understand that humans are helping him to work for meals and water, he says. 3. Specific to his breed: Bo may be in the &amp;quot;goofy pupp&amp;quot; stage for a while, Stu Freeman, President of the Portugese Water Dog Club of America, tells Discovery\u2014but these dogs are intelligent and need to be kept busy. 4. In the early days, Millan explains, the Obamas should set his routine themselves to help implement a trust and respect between dog and owner. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s important to play the pack leader role from day one,&amp;quot; he tells Discovery. The reason for all the special attention? A dog can become disoriented when moving to a new home, says Millan\u2014which could lead to it becoming anxious, nervous or fearful (which is no way for a presidential pup to be)! Good luck, Bo! \u2013Brynn Mannino Image credit: Thanks, Google! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
