Puppies should be fed 3-4 times a day until they are around 6 months old. After that, you can transition to 2 meals a day. It's important to follow the recommended feeding guidelines on the puppy food label and to monitor your puppy's weight to ensure they are getting the right amount of food.
The amount of exercise your puppy needs depends on their breed and size. Generally, puppies should have short walks and playtime throughout the day to help them burn off excess energy. As a general rule, a puppy should have 5 minutes of exercise for every month of age, up to twice a day.
Potty training can be a challenging process, but consistency is key. Take your puppy outside to the same spot every few hours, after they eat, and after they wake up from a nap. Praise them when they go potty outside and avoid punishing accidents. With patience and positive reinforcement, your puppy will learn where to go potty.
It's important to start training your puppy as soon as possible. Basic commands like sit, stay, and come can be taught as early as 8 weeks old. However, it's important to remember that puppies have short attention spans and training sessions should be kept short and fun for them.
Socialization is an important aspect of raising a well-behaved dog. It's important to gradually introduce your puppy to new people, places, and other animals. Start with short and positive interactions and gradually increase the duration and intensity as your puppy becomes more comfortable. Be sure to also expose your puppy to different types of environments and stimuli to help them become more confident and well-adjusted.
