Long walks, periods of play, or just being together will make him feel happy and secure. Many families find that the best time to acquire a new pet is during vacation, when they have ample time to spend with him. EASY DOES IT Children are always excited about a new pet. Don't allow them to overwhelm him with attention and handling. They should be taught to play gently with him, and never to disturb him when he is sleeping or eating.
Parental supervision is important.
You've probably given your dog a new name. When he's first settling in your new pet may have problems of shyness, anxiety, restlessness, excitement, crying or barking. Physical symptoms may include excessive water drinking, frequent urination, diarrhea, or a poor appetite. If any of these symptoms last for more than a few days call your veterinarian. Decide on the rules and stick to them.
