My main tip for pup owners is to concentrate on socializing them. Once she's comfortable with you and her new home, expose her to lots of people and other dogs. Be careful to make sure these experiences are positive. Don't expose her to crowds of people where she might get scared. Same with other dogs. Don't make the experience intimidating. Also, take some time to touch her feet and teeth daily. Make it fun. That way, when it comes time to trim her nails or brush her teeth, she won't panic. Other than that, use the search feature on this forum to search for topics of interest to you. Chances are, it's been discussed before. And if you have a specific question, make a post of your own and ask. There are lots of helpful and knowledgeable people here. Welcome!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Welcome and congratulations. With a puppy you need to watch them all the time when they are not confined this helps with housebreaking. Also watch for low blood sugar, hypoglycemia especially if she is tiny and not a good eater or gets stressed. There are a lot of good threads on here to help you with your puppy. I wish I was in Hawaii!!!
