Groundwork For Good Behavior
This is an impressionable time for your puppy. It is when he can
pick up good and not-so-good habits, like jumping on people.
Spend lots of time with your puppy. The more loving you give now,
the stronger the bond you'll have later. Brush daily, handle his
ears and paws, and open his mouth for inspection. It will pay dividends
when the vet needs to do it for real.
In the first days after getting home, focus on getting your dog
comfortable. That means getting into a routine. Once you have dealt
with those things, you will have plenty of time to work on other
behavior issues.
