First days
Puppies just bought usually behave very restlessly - they whine, yearn for, do not respond to new owners, etc. This condition of a small dog is understandable. After all, the puppy was in a completely unusual environment for him. To help your new pet recover quickly, its owners should take a number of simple steps and show maximum patience.
First of all, you should limit the movement of the puppy within the same room. So it will be easier for him to get comfortable in a new space. It is advisable that the selected room has access to a balcony. There the puppy will be able to relieve the need.
To calm the dog, you can stroke it, say a few kind words and offer some kind of toy. This can be, for example, artificial bone, all kinds of rubber bagels with squeakers, etc. Having played enough, the kitten will tire and at least will not whine at night.
You can also offer the little rottweiler something tasty. Dogs of this breed, like any other, love sweets, gingerbread cookies and cookies. You can also give a new pet a slice of boiled chicken or beef.
