How To Get Started With Puppies by Prodeegee(op):
So you have finally decided to get yourself a dog. You want to know what needs to be put in place before you adopt of buy a dog. You want to know how to recognize a reputable breeder. Training the dogs and all.



Firstly, you must realize that getting a puppy is like having a newborn in the house. They require your time and the best care they can get. You need to understand that your new puppy has become an added responsibility.

STARTING YOUR PUPPY OFF RIGHT

Before bringing your puppy home, a few things need to be put in place.

- Puppy Food
- Puppy Toys
- Puppy Crate
- Feeding Bowls

Buying or Adopting a puppy less than 8 weeks is not advisable, except you have enough experience with handling puppies. Also ensure your puppy has had at least her first shot and ensure you follow up with your veterinarian.

Your Vet can prescribe a good puppy food for you, and will help your puppy through puppy-hood. Ensure you get a good and reliable Vet. Ask a friend who already has a dog or your Neighbor.

Potty training your puppy should start immediately. Click here to learn how to potty train your puppy.

Training also starts immediately. Teach your new puppies what you like and don't like. Dogs learn to blend in your lifestyle if you always correct them on time. Be sure to catch them in the act if you want to correct them. There are other corrective measures other than spanking, like No-Play, A harsh NO, No toys or any other ways you can think of.

Puppies play-bite as part of growing up. This is why you need to get them chew toys to play with or they'll automatically turn your leg to a biting spot.

That's the problem with us, we are resourceful and freely help when we don't have a name, but immediately a name is established, we realize we can now make money out of that which we once gave freely and that which made us who we are.
Everybody cannot be a blogger and my dear friend Prodeegee, you are an icon for people on pet section NL but you are loosing it cos you are not as resourceful as u use to be and now this blog ish.

Hi Prodeegee bloggers have taken advantage of stuffs like this. So people would hardly ever click any link of u don't supply the full text , so my advise just put the full text here and with our support we can help you make it hit the front page ,
Please no insult Prodeegee is still one of the most resourceful person on this section. I see no reason why he should be lashed for posting his link here not forgetting that he has been doing this for free, Naija mentality sef sometimes , so because people think he is going to make some cash from google AdSense lol

Funny world

My dear friend apitch, thank you for your observation. I've actually been busy and have been away for a while. Only free on Sundays. I did a double post linkage cos I wanted to see if the rules changed on Nairaland. Normally when you post a short post with link, it is automatically removed and replaced with the full post or removed totally.

Normally i post the full write up and use the link. I've not been writing for a while, working on a project.

And Prodeegee was known for making trouble...lol....not writing posts. cheesy
