1. Invite Your Friends
Don’t be shy! Celebrate with neighbors and friends in your local park or backyard with toys and games like tug-of-war and tennis balls to play fetch! Remember to reward your pooch along the way with healthy and much-loved treats!
2. Join A Dog Community
Join a fun, friendly dog community (like Bil-Jac @Facebook) to post pics of your best friend to have the world ooh and ahh over all year round! We love to see what you and your new best friend are up to each month (and you could even win fun prizes along the way).
3. Strike A Pose
Have a picture framed, enlarged or painted to remember those precious puppy moments. It will be a constant reminder of the fleeting magic of puppyness that makes you smile each and every day!
4. Road Trip
Take your best friend to the pet store to wander around and pick out her own toys that she can enjoy for months to come. If she is still a puppy, be sure she has all of her shots before venturing out. Trips like this provide another social interaction to integrate your dog into different situations that will help her grow in confidence.
5. Make Your House A Safe Haven
Do you have toxic plants around your house or growing outside in your garden? Check out what plants you need to remove from your house to keep your new puppy safe in and outside your home Be sure to pick up small items your dog might be interested in that could pose a choking hazard such as pens, small toys, and coins.
6. Teach A New Trick
Impress her other puppy friends by teaching her a new trick. It can be as simple as roll over or dance! Check out some of our training tip videos from Celebrity Trainer Joel Silverman.
7. Help A New Friend In Need
Is it time to add a new buddy to the household? If you already have the number of dogs that is right for your household, consider donating supplies or money to a local shelter in need.
