A few things to bring along for the puppy's ride home:
- Crate or Box

It is good to come prepared as puppies can get a little car sick or will drool a bit as they travel for the first time.
Our puppies usually come with the following items:
Bringing your new puppy home:
Preparing Your Home: Before bringing your new puppy home, ensure you have a puppy-proofed area set up with his bed, food, water, and toys. Remove any hazards or items that he could chew on or ingest.
First Introduction: When you first bring your puppy home, take him to the designated potty area outside. Use a consistent command for potty breaks, such as "go potty," and reward him when he goes in the right spot.
Exploring His New Home: Allow your puppy to explore his new surroundings gradually. Start with a small, puppy-proofed area and gradually introduce him to other rooms in the house.
Meeting the Family: Introduce your puppy to family members one at a time, in a calm and quiet environment. This helps him feel more comfortable and less overwhelmed.
Establishing a Routine: Set a schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and naptime. Consistency is key to helping your puppy adjust to his new home.
Crate Training: Introduce your puppy to his crate as a safe and comfortable space. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage him to enter the crate.
Supervision and Socialization: Supervise your puppy at all times, especially during the early days. Socialize him with other dogs and people to help him become a well-adjusted adult dog.
Basic Training: Start basic training early, including commands like sit, stay, and come. Use positive reinforcement to reward good behavior.
Health and Safety: Schedule a vet visit for a health check-up and vaccinations. Keep your puppy safe by removing any toxic plants or substances from your home.
Building a Bond: Spend quality time with your puppy, playing, training, and cuddling. This helps build a strong bond between you and your new furry friend.
Patience and Love: Above all, be patient and show your puppy love and affection. He is adjusting to a new environment and needs time to feel comfortable and secure.
Bringing a new puppy home is an exciting time, and with the right preparation and care, you can ensure a smooth transition for your new furry family member.
