The first steps when buying a dog

First of all, if you are traveling by car, be sure to take a diaper with you and, if necessary, a blanket or bed sheet. The dog may get sick during the move and you should be prepared for this.

As soon as the dog steps on the threshold of the house, it already begins to get used to the new home. Prepare two bowls - one for drinking water, it should be freely accessible to the puppy, and the second for food. Prepare the diapers and, if desired, you can purchase sprays for training the dog to the toilet, in general, this makes the process easier.

Before the rabies vaccination, the dog cannot go outside, so make a comfortable place for him at home until he can walk. A bed for sleeping and toys will come in handy, you can buy squeakers and snacks.

As soon as the dog receives a rabies vaccination, you can gradually go out with it for walks, but do not overload the dog. Take care of the collar for a walk, it should wrap around the neck, but not suffocate, under no circumstances should you wear a body collar under 1 year, it should be a comfortable fabric collar. You shouldn't look for a leash for a puppy that's too long either, if it's a fabric one, then 1 meter will be enough for the first time, or an adjustable tape measure.

Before your first walk, take care of protection against ticks, even if it is winter and snowing outside. It can be a pill or drops on the withers. A tick collar can be worn on a dog only from the age of 1.

If you know that you will be away from home for some time during the day and will leave the dog alone at home, in order not to repeat the scenario of the movie "Home Alone", I recommend buying a cage or some kind of enclosure for the dog, where you can leave it. Beagle is an active breed and very unpredictable. If you think that she will not be able to climb on the bed at 3-4 months, then the dog will deftly show you its skills while you are not at home:) With a corgi, in this case it is much easier.

You should not bathe the dog often, you can comb the beagle with a furminator or with a regular brush, it's all up to you. For a corgi, this is purely a comb. Young dogs do not need to brush their teeth, dry food will do all the work for you. Claws can be cut both in the clinic and independently, it should be a convenient claw cutter.

By 6 months, the puppy's teeth are forming, they fall out and new ones grow. At this time, the puppy bites the most, it is necessary to limit games with dragging, so as not to spoil the puppy's bite.
