This form is not to be nosy, but to help you think through some steps to be prepared to bring your baby home. We are here to support you and help you make this transition as easy as possible. Having a puppy is hard business. They will try your patience on every level and they will continue to do it for at least 1 year. What you do in this time will determine what kind of dog you have so every choice is critical! If you condone it, then you own it. Be very careful what you condone.
We believe in crate training, not matter how hard they fight against it.
We believe in chipping your dog and suggest they be registered with Home Again. You do NOT need to pay each year although they will encourage you to.
We believe in teaching your dog NOT to jump up on you under any circumstances.
We believe AND require spaying/neutering at an age appropriate time. Please discuss this with your vet. It is suggested that animals be spayed and neutered later than earlier thought. Discuss this with your vet.
We believe if you cannot afford to groom your dog every 6 to 8 weeks and take them for all of the age appropriate shots in the first year it is not time to get a dog. This includes heart worm and flea and tick control as well as regular worming.
We believe potty training is the hardest thing you will every do. Leash them to you and go often. It will be hard at first, but they are capable of training very early if you are truly consistent.
We believe a dog should not be left out in the home until they are over a year and can truly be trusted. They are not comfortable with the open spaces at first and will get in trouble to calm themselves. This will set your dog up to be very anxious. I pinky promise on this one.
We believe in training your dog. Whether it is with puppy classes, or privately or through Baxter and Bella, it is essential and don't be fooled. The training is for humans, not dogs.
