1. At what age do you first take your puppy to the groomers? After all shots are given. So, around 4 months, they usually dont do a lot on their first trip their.
2. How often should a little dog take a bath?[COLOR="Purple"] I bathe Louis twice a month. Evry two weeks. By the sixth week I take him to the groomers.
3. Do I need to buy a baby bath? I was told to never place them in a kitchen sink.[COLOR="Purple"] I put Louis in the kitchen sink. I've had no problems. Louis isn't teeny though.
4. Does little dog uses different dog shampoo from bigger dogs? [COLOR="Purple"] I love Mink Sheen shampoo for dogs. It leaves his hair soft and also works as a conditioner and flea repellant.
5. At what age should I allow the little dog to eat an doggie snack?[COLOR="Purple"] We started on snacks early. But realized too many snacks can upset their stomach or ruin their appetite. So only twice a day in between meals.
6. What type of doggie snack would you recommend? Liver treats Dr.Becker's.
7. Where should the puppy sleep the first night?[COLOR="Purple"] In his crate, next to the bed.
8. Is pee pads worth the money?[COLOR="Purple"] Yes. DO NOT put pee-pads in their crate, they will get confused and wait till they are out of their crate and pee everywhere.
9. I had heard that there was a toy that simulated the mother heartbeat
Do you know where to buy one?[COLOR="Purple"] I've seen those at the mall, and target.
10. Is it easy to housebreak a small dog?[COLOR="Purple"] Yes. Be consistant and more stubborn than them. After he ate we would put him on his pad and once he went we praised the heck out of him. It was easy for us. A few hiccups every now and then, but nothing overwhelming.
[COLOR="Purple"] Hope that helps. Welcome to Yorkietalk!!!!!!!
