The first day && night of having my new puppy?
I researched quite a lot.
We pick him up from our airport tomorrow and there's a 2 hour drive home. We will stop for a break in about an hour, and we'll get home.
I know that dogs want to sleep with the pack, so I'm putting his crate in my room for the first days. Is that okay?
I read that I should be with him 24/7 for the first 3-4 days, is that okay?
What should I know about the night or day or car ride home?
Every dog is different
My Rat Terrier was a wild puppy in the cage on the ride home when we picked him up...he was 3 months old....he wanted to get out and play. That night he barked and cried all night when we crated him for the night.
My American Bulldog slept the whole time in his cage on the ride home...he was 4 months old. Even when we got home he just wanted to lay down and sleep. At night he slept all night in his crate without so much as a single cry or bark.
You might have a puppy who is super active or one like my Blizzard who acted more like an old man and wanted to just sleep day and night.
Now it's the opposite....my Am. Bulldog is super active at 18 months old and my Rat Terrier is the laid back old man...doesn't want to do anything.
No one can really say how your new puppy will be....just be happy with him and love him to pieces!!!
Putting his crate in the bedroom with you is a good idea, he might settle down faster if he knows he's near you. I don't really think it's necessary to be with him 24/7 for the first 3-4 days...that's seems quite abit much to me. Be with him as much as you can but if you have to run to the store or something, put him in his crate and when you come home you love him up all over again.
You are going to do just fine...sounds like you have lots of love to give...that's one lucky puppy.
