The Raucous Bunch: Caring For Young Puppies
Puppies are a bundle of joy especially during their first month. During this time, you would notice how cute they are with their small bodies covered in thick, furry coats.
Of course, you start singing a different tune when your puppies begin peeing and pooping on the living room floor. This is a common scenario for any dog owner, and it is important to deal with it in a calm and effective way.
Taking care of one or two month old puppies requires a lot of patience and effort. However, taking care of a litter of puppies, about six or seven in the group, is definitely an everyday headache.
If you do not want to cry out of desperation for keeping your house clean and smelling fresh, you have to be in charge and know how to raise the puppies accordingly. This is something that some people don't necessarily want to do, but must force themselves to carry through.
A great idea is to designate a room for just the puppies, and only the puppies. This could be a spare bedroom or laundry room - just make sure you take everything out and cover the floor with newspaper. This will ensure you only have one area to clean up, and that the whole house doesn't get destroyed.
Now, remember that puppies are like chickens - everything they take in goes out within the first few minutes. As soon as your puppies take their meals, you need to bring them where you want them to poop. A few minutes after eating, they would be pooping and peeing and they don't care where.
At least there are no mysteries when it comes to this, it is an obvious part of the puppies system. Make sure you control when and where they are feed so you can control the flow at the other end.
This might take most of your patience but don't worry, all of it will disappear as soon as they start looking at you with pleading puppy eyes. Now, you might want to keep all of them just because of that.
