New puppies can be a challenging task to take on, even for experienced pet owners. To help you out, our team at Pet Palace has some helpful tips and tricks to make caring for your puppy easier.<\/p>\n
Housebreaking your puppy is the number one concern of new pet owners. However, if you practice consistently, your dog will learn faster. We recommend you start teaching your puppy between the ages of 12-14 weeks. To do so, practice the following:<\/p>\n
For more housetraining basics, our team at Pet Palace recommends the following to ensure that your new puppy is healthy and happy in their new home!<\/p>\n
Early socialization<\/a>\u00a0can help puppies learn to play well with others. When pet owners ignore this aspect, puppies grow into overly fearful adult dogs. Between 8-16 weeks, you\u2019ll want to expose your puppy to new experiences<\/a> \u2013 friendly, vaccinated dogs and supervised visits with children are a good place to start. To make the introduction process go smoothly<\/a>, have the kids offer treats to your puppy so he or she develops a positive association with children.<\/p>\n Typically, puppies don’t require a lot of grooming, but you’re going to want to get them used to the idea while they’re young. This means handling and inspecting them so they’ll be on their best behavior at the vet’s office, for instance. Practice looking into their ears, picking up their paws, and inspecting their fur. Again, as with the other training we’ve mentioned<\/a>, reward good behavior with treats!<\/p>\n For many pet owners, nail clipping is a much-dreaded task. We can help! Not only can we trim your puppy\u2019s nails, but we also provide\u00a0full grooming services<\/a>\u00a0including baths, fur brushing, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, and hair styling. Feeling extra indulgent? We\u2019ll even polish your dog\u2019s nails and give them a massage.<\/p>\n We also offer\u00a0doggy day care<\/a>\u00a0to give your puppy the chance to develop those all-important socialization skills we talked about. At our luxe doggy day care, your puppy will get personalized attention and the opportunity to participate in supervised, small play groups. He or she can even relax afterward in their own comfortable villa, equipped with heating and air conditioning. No, sorry, pet parents, you can\u2019t stay in one \u2013 it\u2019s for dogs only!<\/p>\n On top of that, we have Pet Palace locations in the following cities:<\/p>\n Additionally, for those in Columbus, Ohio or the surrounding area, we now offer dog training services<\/a>! Come bridge the gap in communication between you and your new puppy with the use of positive reinforcement, because happy dogs learn best. Other convenient dog training locations coming soon!<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to schedule a doggy day care session, or are interested in our grooming or boarding services, we encourage you to get in touch with us. It\u2019s easy! Simply make a reservation<\/a> on our site or\u00a0contact<\/a>\u00a0your local Pet Palace.
