The most important thing you can do when you bring a new puppy home is set boundaries. New puppies do not need full access to your house. Keep them rooms that are easy to clean if they do have accident. Teach them their place the house. Our favorite trick is to have the puppy be part of the family by tethering them to a stationary object like a table or couch leg with a leash and having them lay on a dog bed. This teaches them where their place is the home and lets them still be part of the family. They become confident on where they belong the house and where their safe personal space is. Starting this habit as a puppy has tremendous payoff for the rest of your dog's life. Also, crate training is a must. Bird Dogs go on all kinds of adventures and the crate becomes a dog's home base. A crate should be a comfortable and safe place where a dog goes to relax and sleep at the end of the day, it should never be thought of a a punishment.
