Vaccines, inform yourself. Jackson had a reaction to the Lepto shot. Most people (I learned after the fact) don't give their dogs the lepto shot. Don't give rabies shot at the same time as any of the others, it could be too much for them.
Have patience! Potty training takes time and patience but it can be done. Just be very consistent and put them on a schedule. Crate training can be best. For the first months, you will be getting up in the middle of the night with him to go potty.
You might want to invest in an ex-pen. I felt bad leaving Jackson in the crate all the time so I got an ex-pen that he has yet to have an accident in.
Prepare to spend money! LOL. Besides the necessities (vet bills, food, etc) I'm always buying Jackson stuff. I can't help myself. |
