Ok, Bruno will come home in 5 weeks..
I have made a lot of mistakes with Aldo and Katara and I am trying to do it right this time..
This is what I think I need.. any other suggestions?
-A stainless steel bowl
-A small crate with resistant bedding (does he need to have his own crate or can he share with Katara?)
-Quality puppy kibble (The older guys are on Fromm Beef but I am wanting to try salmon tunalini next) he will be too young for this recipe right [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] do I need to start him on a grain free puppy food (like what?) or can I do normal fromm puppy or another quality puppy like wellness or NVI?
-I need suggestions on puppy pad training? With Aldo and Katara I would just take them out every couple hours even at night to potty; but this time I am considering placing the pup in a large indoor play area and his crate inside and the puppy pad so he can do his business there at night since it will be hard finding the energy to get up at night.. and then, I work nights 3 nights a week as well, so I would need my husband to take him out.. and waking up as night is not his specialty.. Aldo and katara were both semi house trained when they came to me, so I am hoping this one will be the same...
-collar and leash-- how soon can I start him on walks and trainings.. how many series of shots does he need before I can let him roam the streets of my neighborhood
-I need to put him on his back.. a lot as a young pup... hopefully this will prevent or stall development of dominant issues and prey drive like I've had with Katara (territorial) and Aldo (overstimulation/excitement)
-I need to get the girls to finger feed Bruno Cannoli from the start so he understands they are above him.. [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] do you recommend I feed Bruno first, then Katara then Aldo or just Bruno with Katara first with Aldo watching, and then Aldo?
-I need to make the introduction happen with my poodles.. never forced it with A & K and there is lots of dangerous friction between those two packs... I would like Bruno to be able to roam free through the house when either the little poodles or the big bulldogs are free.. hopefully this can close up the gap between the two packs and maybe they can all interact one day...
-Add him to the pet insurance and get the hip dysplasia coverage
Is there Anything else that you recommend? It wasn't too long ago that I adopted Aldito and Kat.. but I still need some help guys
