Introducing Your New Puppy To The Family

Many families always ask us how to introduce their new Siberian Husky/Doberman Pinscher puppy to their new family. One must slowly introduce them to their new home. The following are the steps to do so.

1) Driving Home:

When you are driving back home, you should have a family member holding the new family addition. Do not place the puppy in a crate. If no one was able to come with you to pick up the new family member, purchase a seatbelt and a dog cover. Where they can have limited space in the back.

2) Arriving Home:

If you have other dogs or/and puppies, please put them away. Allow the new puppy to roam around and sniff everything out. Once he/she is comfortable with the house and all the humans who live in the household you may introduce the other fur-members. Remember, other family members must sit on the floor and allow the him/her to come up to them.

3) Other Family Members:

If you know your dog will be happy to see the new family member, hold the dog. Let the new puppy come up to him/her. If your dog will be cautious, allow both of them to roam free in the same space. They both will slowly introduce themselves on their own time.

Once the new Siberian Husky or Doberman Pinscher puppy is comfortable with the house, the humans in the house, and all the other pets, you may have friends and family members over. Allow families and friends to visit your place. Since the puppy is comfortable with the house. If you take the pup to your friend or family’s house, they will be scared. Once they come over, they must allow the puppy to come to them.

Husky Palace Introducing New Family Members

As you guys have noticed on our Instagram, @huskypalace, we are welcoming new puppies to the Husky Palace pack. The reason is that in a year to two, some of our adults are going to retire. Therefore we need to start welcoming new puppies. We follow these steps. Typically only one of us can go pick up the Siberian Husky pup. So, the puppy is in the back with the dog cover and a seatbelt. The seatbelt is extended so he/she can walk around, but still be safe.

Once at home, we lock up the dogs. Once we are ready to proceed to step 3, we let out the calm dogs. Both, the dog and the puppy will slowly introduce each other. Once they are comfortable I let out the more active dogs. Where I will hold the active dog and allow the puppy to come up to the dog. This helps them know they are safe in their new home and we will go on their speed.

Once the new puppy is comfortable in the new home, humans, and other pets, we start to introduce them to families who come and pick up their puppy. Therefore some of you guys might see a new member of the Husky Palace pack. We are still looking for 2 more Siberian Husky males.
