Puppy Adoption German Shepherd Puppies ~ 10 Things I Should Have For When I Adopt A Puppy or Dog Adoption

*

The day you adopt a puppy and bring a new puppy or dog into your home is a red-letter day indeed.  This big dog adoption day may be an exhausting one for you but it’s even more so for your puppy.  No matter the dog breeds or whether you got your puppy from a dog rescue or dog shelters, a big dog adoption or choosing a small dog adoption, this moment is one of the most critical times in your relationship.  First impressions are indelibly marked on German Shepherd puppies minds.  It is vital to establish from the beginning an atmosphere of security, affection, and mutual confidence.  In short, the goal is to make your dog feel at home as soon as possible.

NOTE:  After reading this article, please be sure to check out “Secrets To Dog Training” to see what I believe is by far, hands down, the best dog obedience training material ever produced.  216,236 dog owners and counting are using these highly successful techniques.  It covers every kind of dog obedience training and dog behavior issue you can think of.  It also includes a totally FREE “Secrets To Dog Training 6 Day Course”.

German Shepherd puppies come to you with no suitcase or any worldly goods whatsoever, especially if they came from facilities like animal shelters.  If they came from a private home they might be used to having some puppy comforts and you having them as well will certainly help them during their tough transition period.  So, make sure you provide them with their first essential possessions and have them in place and ready for their grand arrival.  In no time, you’ll both be thrilled in your decision to adopt a puppy.  Puppy adoption is such a win win for everyone.

Continue On To See List………

1) A dog bed, ideally slightly larger than your dog.  In a perfect world, a dog crate with cozy dog bedding inside is the best.  Covered sidewalls are good too.  The idea is not to imprison them, so definitely leave the door open until you’ve given them proper crate training.  They’ll see their cozy confines as their bedroom and own personal space.

2) A comfy puppy blanket that will be all theirs, again slightly larger than needed.

3) A water bowl, (stainless steel or earthenware, but not glazed pottery, which contains lead that is poisonous to dogs).  Ideally, get a dog bowl that doesn’t easily spill.

4) A light puppy collar with an identification tag, leather is best, flat for shorthaired breeds, round for longhaired.  Have your phone number engraved on it.

5) A good dog leash with a strong clip fastener.

6) A dog comb and brush, the canine kind, (suitable for German Shepherd puppies).

7) A squeaky dog toy.  Puppy adoption facilities rarely have these available so your pup will be thrilled to get such a noisy and fun dog toy.

A chewing dog toy made of rawhide or nylon or both.  (ditto on the above comment on not having these in puppy adoption facilities)

9) A hard rubber ball (Big enough so that he cannot swallow it, but light enough for him to carry around in his mouth).

10) Finally, and most important of all, a good name.  Check our other posts.  We have a terrific article and source that’ll give you literally thousands of puppy names possibilities.  You’ll be overwhelmed with all of the names for puppies.  We also have links to what we think are easily the best (and most modern) dog and puppy training materials on the market today.

These are just some of the items you should have on hand when you adopt a puppy.  Thanks for supporting dog adoption.  Also, please strongly consider getting your new puppy spayed or neutered to help control the pet population.

Do yourself and your dog a favor, check out “Secrets To Dog Training”.   I absolutely promise you’ll be pleased and it’ll probably be the most loving thing you’ll ever do for your new family member.
