Surviving the First Night with Your French Bulldog Puppy
Bringing a French Bulldog puppy home for the first night can be both exciting and overwhelming. Here are key tips to ensure a smooth transition:
Make the Crate a Safe SpaceCrate training is crucial. Make the crate comfortable with a soft bed and toys. Feeding your puppy in the crate creates a positive association.
Plan Puppy’s Dinner RightFeed your puppy dinner around 5 p.m. to ensure enough time for digestion and a final bathroom break before bedtime.
Schedule Playtime Before BedtimeEngage in stimulating activities like walks or training early in the evening, allowing your puppy to calm down before bedtime.
Take a Just-Before-Bed Potty BreakEnsure your puppy goes outside just before bed for a final potty break to minimize overnight accidents.
Know That Your Puppy Will CryIt's normal for puppies to cry their first few nights. Consider keeping the crate in your bedroom and placing a piece of clothing with your scent in the crate to comfort your puppy.
By creating a safe and comforting environment, feeding and play schedules, and understanding your puppy's needs, you can help your French Bulldog adjust to their new home smoothly. The initial nights may be challenging, but the bond you build during this time will be rewarding.
