Walk them around the front yard, inside the house, and the backyard on a leash, allowing them to explore their new surroundings. Introduce them to the designated potty area and praise them for using it, correcting any attempts to potty indoors. Begin obedience and structure immediately. Establish a schedule right away. Even if you’re taking a few days off to spend with your dog, start the routine they’ll follow when you return to work. Consistency is key. Use a crate or a designated safe area. Leave the house for short errands to show them you will return, helping them adjust to your absences. Respect your dog's space. Allow them to approach you and your family for attention. If they need alone time, let them have it. When they seek affection, give them some, but avoid overwhelming them with too much praise and attention without cause. Reward good behavior.
