How did you spend the very first day home with your dog, when you just brought him home?
Thought it would be a fun thing to discuss, since I haven't seen a thread like this. And also, obviously, I am going to blatantly steal ideas hopefully
I am picking up Leo right after work tomorrow, and will probably arrive home at about 7pm. That doesn't leave much of the day, but I want to leave a good impression.
I am planning on taking him for a walk, giving him some time to chill out and observe his new surroundings in his crate, and then plan on having him out mostly on leash to keep him out of trouble. He has been started on clicker training, so I was also thinking of doing some "Look at me" click and treats to start a positive association with me and yummy food
Your turn! How did you spend the first day home with your new dog when you got him/her/them?
