Comprehension- A New Puppy


Bringing a puppy home is an exciting time, especially for children. As new owners, we must remember that this is a big change for the puppy. This puppy will be in a new environment with new sounds, smells, and a brand new family.

When first introduced to its new home, place your new puppy on a leash and allow it to roam its new environment.  While most new owners may feel a dog house is lonely and cold, this is actually the easiest way to form good sleep habits. It also stops the puppy from getting into trouble while you’re sleeping.  


When walking your puppy, be sure to keep your puppy on a short leash by your side. Do not allow the puppy to pull you. The puppy should follow your command.

Teaching a puppy to socialize around 12 weeks will make for an easier lifestyle. Socialising means that you allow him to meet new people. Like children, puppies love hugs and plenty of play.


Questions

1. What are two things that will be new to the puppy?


2. Why do you think the puppy should be placed on a leash?

4. Give a synonym to replace 'roam'.
