Instructions
Step 1
It should be remembered that before your puppy has received all the necessary vaccinations and has been quarantined, it must not be released on the street. This does not mean that the baby has to stay at home all this time. From the very first days of life, you can begin to carry it out into the street in your arms, so that the puppy gets used to new smells and sounds.
Step 2
After the quarantine is left behind, you can start full-fledged walks with your pet. Outdoor accustoming is a busy stage, so it will be good if at this time you have a vacation or someone from the household is constantly at home.
Step 3
Choose a quiet place for walking, away from the roadway. It is advisable that in the first days your puppy does not come into contact with brothers, since the first outings for a walk are already very stressful for him.
Step 4
Lower your baby to the ground while talking to him affectionately. Let him get comfortable and look around. At first, the puppy can be very scared and huddle at your feet. Praise him constantly, give him a treat. If the kid has made a puddle, praise him.
Step 5
Develop a feeding and walking schedule to help your dog get used to having to handle his needs at the same time. At first, you will have to walk with a small puppy 6-8 times a day.
Step 6
Be sure to take your pet outside after every feed and sleep. If you notice that the puppy has begun to worry and sniff at the floor, then quickly pick him up and take him outside. For every puddle and heap on the street, loudly praise the pupil.
Step 7
At first, you cannot avoid incidents at home. Do not punish the kid for offenses - he still poorly understands what they want from him, and he still cannot endure due to physiological characteristics. It is enough just to scold the puppy in a stern voice and immediately take it out into the street, where it will be affectionately praised.
Step 8
All dogs get used to the outdoors in different ways. One week is enough, others will take months to adapt. During this period, it is worth showing special patience and, after some time, you will achieve your goal, and the baby will begin to ask for a walk himself!
