 You have prepared everything at home for the arrival of your new puppy, and now it's time to go get them! The only problem, is you don't know what to bring with you. It's ok! I made a list below to help you out!  A 6ft leash You don't want your leash to be so long your puppy can go far and get hurt, but you don't want it so short that they have no room to move at all! Six feet is the ideal length to ensure both safety and comfort.  A collar  You need something to hook your leash to! I recommend a collar but a harness with work as well. A crate or carrier If your pup is a little too hyper, or even extremely nervous, it is best that you allow them to ride in the crate! Sometimes it is better to hold them, however, you won't know until you get there.  Paper towels If your pup has an accident or vomits, you need a way to clean it up.  Fabric towel I recommend having this wrapped around your new addition!

Have you heard of the 3/3/3 rule? When bringing home a new dog, it takes; ~3 days to decompress ~3 weeks to learn the routine ~3 months to begin feeling at home This means, that you will not see your dog's full personality until a minimum of three months have passed. I will go into more detail below! The first 3: The first three days you have the puppy home, it is important that you do a few things. First, make sure you set clear boundaries from the start. If s/he can't get on the bed tomorrow, don't let them on the bed today! Agree on rules with everyone in your household and ensure everyone agrees to and understands them before bringing home your new puppy. Training starts as soon as they enter your arms! Start your daily routine right away. When setting boundaries be calm, clear, and gentle. Your puppy is nervous and probably disoriented right now! Everything around them is new, and nothing is familiar. Try not to yell at your puppy. Instead, use redirection techniques.
