Before/After You Get Your Puppy

Just thought I'd share a couple of reads by Ian Dunbar.



They're a great primer for first-time puppy parents, or for anyone who simply wants a refresher.
Besides, they're in a great PDF format and accessible to all!

So I've read these before, but am re-reading before I get my puppy on Friday. I didn't have great luck with kong stuffing with my last dog, but I know I must have done it wrong. Did anyone feed their puppy exclusively from these chew toys in the pups den or kennel during the day? I'd like to try this, and am looking for experience from others. I also read that a puppy should meet 100 people by the time they are 8 weeks, and it would shock me if ANY puppy met that stage. So maybe this kong thing is not realistic either. Greatly appreciate any input! I'll def try it either way, as I want the puppy to be busy when I am gone, not bored. And as long as she's got the toilet in the pen, it seems more fair for her to be eating and maybe having to poop during the day - it didn't feel that way when I would kennel my dogs with the stuffed kong.

Thank you!! Karla
