Bedding
For the pup’s bed, you can have a cardboard box with the front cut out of it. This lets the pup walk easily in and out and as pups chew and grow it is easily replaceable. Have something soft for pup to lie on. You can get a hard bed later. When changing over to a bigger bed remember that ‘Perla Beds’ have slats in the bottom which help with ventilation.
You can use ‘Vet Bed’ which is a soft bedding to put in the base of the hard bed; this is excellent and lasts for ages. To machine wash the bedding, use a warm wash – ‘wool wash’. Use non-biological liquid/powder. Vet bed dries very quickly. This bedding is excellent when the dog comes in wet and after drying is still a little damp or has an incontinence problem. With this bedding he/she never lies in the wet, the damp goes to the bottom of the bed while the top remains dry. This is also great for a dog suffering joint problems, arthritis etc.
Placement of the bed
For the first week, you can have your pup by the side of the bed, in a fenced-off/contained area, using newspaper for toilet. If your pup is upset in the night, ignore it, but as soon as your pup is quiet give a gentle stroke, there is no need to speak. This will help settle a bewildered pup in very quickly.
By the end of the week, your pup will know its surroundings and can be put to bed where you wish. In the day time, move the bed around with you. If you are in the kitchen and the pup falls asleep, get the bed and put sleepy puppy in it, and say the word ‘bed’. Later on the dog will associate the word bed with where his bed is.
If you are in the sitting room put the bed in there. Your pup will feel secure when he/she wakes up and you are around. You are also around to pop him/her out to the toilet area. The place that you decide you want your pup to sleep must only have happy associations.
Feed/bed area
Feed your pup in the place you intend your pup to spend the night eventually, if it is to be in another room from you. Play with your pup in that area too; (incorporating toys adds to the fun). Sit quietly with a sleepy puppy for a short while. All these things will help your pup to settle happily.
