Bringing Your New Puppy Home
The most important thing is for your new puppy to feel welcome in your home.
This is now his home too, and he will be happiest if it is a safe and inviting
place to be.
If possible, let your puppy spend at least the first few nights sleeping near
you. Place his crate in your bedroom at night, and put an old t-shirt you've
worn inside it so that he can become accustomed to your scent.
Puppies can't usually 'hold it' through an entire night just like babies
can't usually sleep through the night when they first come home. Your puppy will
become very unhappy if he soils himself in his crate. That means you may need to
get up in the middle of the night for a while until your puppy learns to wait
until morning.
