What may readily appear to be out of reach, may in fact not be as safe as you may think. If your puppy can climb onto something and then stand stretched to its very full length, it may be able to get to something you thought to be safe. You need to be sure to keep LOTS of chew toys around to keep the puppy occupied. The housebreaking is covered in several different places in this booklet, so we'll not bore you with even more on that item. Just suffice it to say that we recommend crate training, or isolation to a safe room where if there are accidents while you are out or asleep you won't mind.
Puppies are full of vim and vigor.
They are very playful and need to be kept busy. A bored puppy is one that can be expected to get into mischief just as a child will. The puppy needs to get lots of attention and play time with its human family. One of the things that puppies do a lot of is jumping up on people and pawing at them. If you have children, you will need to be all the more diligent in training of the puppy to ensure that the playful pup doesn't accidentally injure the children.
