You need to ask the vet about vacinations. My dog had all of the puppy shots and within a week, all vacinations. If the dog is very young, the I think house breaking takes longer.
Although 15 years ago I had a tiny Maltese that was only about 9 weeks old when I got her. I had a trainer come in. I was using newspapers and she told me to get rid of them and get the dog out, even the patio was better than what I was doing. I tooks her out sans all the shots and didn't think about it. She was housebroken. It took a while. Ask your vet.
This time I purposely got a dog 17 weeks old, on solid food, ready to go out. I just don't want the dog going in the house and then retraining the dog to go out. FYI, the scent this dog picked up was on my front lawn from the Maltese who died at 15 years of age. I took care of her sick for months. She left a gift to my new puppy.
Also, I free feed my dogs which I hear is a big no no but has always worked for me. |
