Raising a Puppy When You Work Full Time

Raising a puppy is hard work as it needs energy, commitment and love in order to give your puppy all they need for the best start in life

Leaving your puppy alone while you are at work is the concern that most people have because they want to keep their puppy safe and healthy.

Fortunately working full time and raising a puppy is not that hard. But you have to do it right in order to keep balance between both.

There are some basics of raising a puppy that you should follow.

Do not leave your puppy in crate while you are at work:

Most of you might have listened that you should leave your puppy in a crate while you are at work.

But we will advise you not to leave him in crate.

This is simple because of the common problem of puppy’s bed wetting. 8 to 10 week old puppies have a tiny bladder capacity that can hold urine maximum for an hour.

That is leaving a puppy in a crate is not a good idea.

Leave your puppy in a puppy proof roof:

Most of the puppy owners think that leaving their puppy in their kitchen is a good idea.

But we don’t advice puppy owners to do that.

Puppies feel left alone on end and starts chewing things up.

These things can include the cable of your refrigerator, the towel trailing over the edge of unit and the puppy pads that you have left there for pee.

So, you have to look for a better room then kitchen.

House train your puppy:

A good house training is what you can rely upon while you are at work.

First few months of raising a puppy can be crucial and you have to set some calculated steps for your puppy.

Don’t try new theories in training a puppy.

It is your schedule who will dictate the rules in your absence.

Get up ½ hour before your usual wake up time and take your puppy on a walk.

This will be his little playtime. Save few minutes for the potty break as well.

Another important thing you need to do is to leave your house quietly.

Don’t make any lavish display of affection while leaving and try to be less emphasis on arrivals and departures.

It is a life long habit and you have to train him accordingly other wise he might develop a sense of separation or anxiety. This separation and anxiety can then lead to behavioral disorders.

Control their howling and barking:

Puppies when feel lonely start to howl and bark and small puppies can have surprisingly large voices.

It can easily disturb your neighbors so you have to limit the time that he spends on his own and have to provide entertainment on the regular basis.

You can invest in a monitoring system and can make sure that your pet is okay while you are not at home.
