New puppies are a bundle of joy and energy, but they can also be a handful. To help make the change as smooth as possible, you must be aware of certain behaviors you may encounter with your new furry friend. Here are seven behaviors, according to Dogs Tail, to look out for in a new pup:

1. Chewing: Puppies love to explore their new surroundings by using their mouth. Providing plenty of chew toys to redirect their chewing behavior is essential.

2. Barking:Puppies may bark excessively, especially when bored or anxious. Consistent training and positive reinforcement can help to reduce excessive barking.

3. Separation Anxiety:Some puppies may experience separation anxiety when left alone. Gradual exposure to short periods of alone time and positive reinforcement can help to reduce this behavior.

4. Housetraining:Potty training a new puppy requires patience and consistency. Establishing a routine and positive reinforcement can make the process easier.

5. Jumping:Puppies are full of energy and may jump up on people when they are enthusiastic. Teaching them to sit and stay can help to reduce this behavior.

6. Biting:Puppies may bite when they are teething or trying to play. Providing them with appropriate chew toys and teaching them “no bite” can help to reduce biting.

7. Fearful behavior:Some puppies may fear new people, objects, or experiences. Gradual exposure and positive reinforcement can help to reduce fearful behavior.

Dogs Tail says that by understanding and being prepared for these common behaviors in a new puppy, you can help your furry friend adjust to their new home and build a happy and healthy relationship. It is important to remember that every puppy is different and may exhibit other behaviors, so be patient and understanding as they learn and grow.
